When Do You Weigh In

I weigh Friday morning with underclothes on only. If I check my weight throughout the week it's only for guidence. I would drive myself NUTTS if I weighed daily or hourly For some though, weighing in daily keeps them more accountable I guess.

I'll check myself at home during the week, but my weigh-in that I log is every tuesday at the gym in my swimsuit before my hydro-pilates class

Sometimes I will weigh myself every day or every other day just to see how it changes and for guidance of where I am at, but for MFP I only record it once a week. On Monday mornings I hop on the scale and that's the number I use.

I think consistency is the key... same day, same scale, same conditions. I weigh in on Saturday morning, before breakfast, underwear only. I have done it this way since the beginning and so I think it gives a more accurate record that way.

I check each morning throughout the week but my official weigh in for tracking purposes come on Saturday morning first thing. My goal is to loose 1-2 lbs per week. As long as I'm down on my official day, i'm ok.

Every morning. I expect some fluctuations but I find this keeps me honest with myself...

I weigh in almost every morning. I log my weight Wednesday mornings. I also jump on the scale almost every night but that one is more like "holy cow a drank 3lbs of water/tea/whatever today". I know its not real weight.

I weigh in every morning, before eating anything and after working out. Really, it doesn't matter when you weigh in as long as you are being consistent.

I weigh every morning out of curiosity. But I log in what it says on Wed morning into MFP. I stick with once a week. For me it's a nice reinforcement of what I'm doing right or it might signal I have gotten off track. I'm a tad of a control freak so I like knowing what the scale says every day. I do my best not to let it get to me if there is a fluctuation. Usually it makes me drink a little more water and do a little more exercise so I don't see it as a bad thing.

Like many replies, my official for the record books weigh in is once/week, same day, same time of day (a.m., upon waking), same clothes (NAKED baby! ) same scale.

For kicks this last week since I seemed to plateau two weeks ago and then seemed to gain two pounds right after the Canadian long May weekend (ate same, drank more, exercised less) I decided to weigh in daily to see the fluctuations. Sure enough, the two pound "gain" disappeared in two days - impossible for that to have been fat - and even the plateau evaporated. I think for the next month or so, I'll keep weighing and logging on a daily basis and compare the mean and mode to my official weigh in day. For kicks. I'm going to hypothesize that the mode will be a closer match to the official weight than the median..... we'll see. All depends on the range and frequency of the fluctuations of course. Fun to track at any rate.

I weigh, measure and log every morning nude, after going to the washroom and before getting dressed and feeding my human alarm clock. I expect fluctuations, but focus on trends.

I use my weigh in from my Weight Watchers meeting (Thursday morning) as my "official" weight and I log that whether it's a loss or a gain. I might occasionally check in on my home scale but I don't log that since my weight varies so much during the week.

I used to be very obsessed with the scale but I'm starting to learn (only took me 8 years!) that the scale is just a number and doesn't give the true account of how well I've done during the week. I use it as feedback and just one of many indicators of how I am doing overall.
