do you weigh yourself EVERY DAY?

Is it unhealthy to weigh myself this much? I have actually stopped weighing for the past 2 days now, and feel a lot less stressed. But im afraid if I keep this up, I'll get a little too relaxed with my calories and what not.

Any opinions out there? How much do you weigh yourself?

1. I weigh myself almost every day, first thing in the morning, before I eat.

2. Weighing yourself every day is not unhealthy unless it's creating a problem for you in some way. Everyone is different, weigh yourself as often as you want to.

Daily. I'm a numbers geek.

This. I have a spreadsheet with my charts for my weight and body fat.

yes, i do.

I have done daily, once a week and once every two weeks. Right now I am weighing once a day and it doesn't make me upset. I think that if you get worked up over the scale too much by weighing daily it means you need to try weekly. Make sure to hike your scale so you aren't tempted

Just do what works for you emotionally!

I weigh every day, but understand that my weight will fluctuate throughout the week. I only record my weight when I hit a new low.

I really like having a scale that tells partial pounds. Mine goes in .2 increments.

This is what I do. That way I've become used to the fluctuations throughout the week AND through the month. I can tell first thing in the morning when I've had too much sodium over the last few days. I just don't let the fluctuations bother me.

Yes, every morning, and a lot of times at night too. I don't freak out over fluctuations though...I actually find them interesting...

^^ This is me too! I know there will be fluctuations and don't worry about them.

The only argument about weighing yourself in the morning and at night is that you will almost always weigh more at night than in the morning. Allowing that all scales suck, weighing yourself at the same time of day is the best way to reduce noise and variability in your readings. It doesn't matter if you choose morning or night, but choose 1. The point of measurement is to provide information that you can use to make decisions and act on. If you weigh yourself in the morning on Monday and at night on Tuesday, you really can't do anything with that information because you've introduced additional variables to the data points - they're not comparable.

no I heard thats the worst thing to do, because it varies throughout the day. once weekly, biweekly, or monthly. I have a habit of getting on the scale though. Its soo hard to avoid

Normally only once every couple of weeks...but it rarely changes more than a pound or two....

I weigh myself every morning, after peeing and before I eat & shower. But I only record the number if it seems "accurate". For example if I have a really salty meal when I'm out, for the next two days my weight will 'look higher". So I weigh myself but don't record it. Then after a few days I've peed out all the excess fluid, and I'll start recording again.

YES!!!!!!

I weigh almost everyday. It can become a bit obsessive, but as someone said in an earlier post, I would rather find out I'm doing something wrong after a couple of days and not a full week.

I do weigh myself everyday. It helps me to stay accountable. I only count Fridays as my official weight though. And to be honest I will weigh myself at night too. Though I know this number is going to be higher than it will be in the morning.

I do have a scale that has ounces and I like that because some weeks I don't loose a full pound (or gain a full pound) and this helps with small victories.

I weight in multiple times a day, but don't record all of them. I find it interesting to watch the fluctuations with what I've eaten, done (or not done) for the day, etc. I'm not obsessed with it, just basically use it as a small source of entertainment, and it's right in my bathroom.

Yes, my scale has ounces in .2 increments, I love it, it keeps me motivated to weigh every day.

I weigh every morning after using the bathroom and naked and I also weigh at night before bed naked. It keeps me accountable and I can judge how I did for the day. I don't obsess over it, I am the kind of person who will gain weight if I don't keep watch on the numbers.

I do the same thing!

I used to only weigh myself once a week so I wouldn't obsess over it, but now I try to weigh myself everyday. That way I know if I'm really going up/down in weight, or if there's another reason I happen to have, say, an extra pound in the morning (e.g. from going out to eat the night before).

I know there might be slight fluctuations from day-to-day, so I want to get a sense of consistency. Plus, my scale only weighs by the half pound, so there's no need for me to worry too much over ounces. Also, I try to only weigh myself in the morning before breakfast. I know if I try to weigh myself at any other point in the day, it won't match up with my morning weight, so if I forget to do it first thing in the morning, I don't bother.

I'm fine doing it every day, but I have some friends who can't keep a scale at home or they find themselves obsessing over it. Instead, they just weigh in at the gym about every half-week or so.
