i only wanted to weigh myself every 5 weeks and then record my weight on here, but its too much of a temptation to just jump on and check.
i get on the scales about once a week. but im only planning on recording my weight every 5 weeks to keep me on tack.0 -
Every morning, same time, no clothes.
I know that weight flux happens (bloating, monthly cycle, ect,) but I also know that daily weigh-in keeps me honest.
After a binge or a day of high salt, or alcohol, I literally see that number bounce 2,3, sometimes 4 pounds higher. So for that morning, I do not get my reward (scale moving in the right direction.)
But on typical days when I follow my program, I see a few 10ths drop off from the previous morning. So i get a little reward.
I think daily weigh ins are fine as long as you keep it in perspective (just one day over many days.)0 -
once or twice a week. My weight can fluctuate 4 or 5 lbs either way. It makes me crazy.0
-
Every day when I wake up and after I use the bathroom, but I only record and take measurements once a month.0
-
Multiple times a day I am insane about it. It stresses me out not to step on it I went a long time not liking the numbers there so now I am happy to see them regularly going down0
-
Every 4 or 5 days but no closer than that0
-
Once a week. I measure myself once a fortnight.0
-
I also weigh several times a day . I had a doctor to tell me to weigh every morning and if I was over one morning I could look back and see what I had did different.0
-
Every Friday morning. I'm in a weight loss challenge on Thintopia, and Friday is our weigh-in day.
I'll probably keep it at every Friday since it's a habit now.0 -
I like to step on the scale every morning, but I only track on Monday's. It is starting to become a mind game that I need to break. Things were so much simpler when I wasn't concerned with a number...0

Every single day.

Everyday, in the morning. Measure on the first day of every month.0

Usually every morning because I like to. I only log when I see a loss.
This is how I weigh too.0 -
I'm an every morning person ... but the fluctuations don't frustrate me0

Daily in the morning.
Helps me keep track of my sodium and my water intake0 -
every morning first thing...I know but it helps me keep my salt intake down, cause I can see when I had too much the day before!
I have seen as much as an 8 pound difference in 10 hours.0 -
Every morning after going to the bathroom without any clothes on.0
