How often do you weigh yourself?


Quote  |  Reply

Just curious - how often do you weigh yourself? I try to weigh in once a week.

Unofficially daily (or more), but try not to get to bent out of shape and only "really" pay attention to the weekly number.

I used to do it daily but now I do it twice a week but only count my Friday weigh in as my "official" weight. I feel a lot less neurotic when I'm not paying attention to the daily change of tiny percentages of a pound.

I weigh daily because the fluctuations amuse me. =) Sometimes twice a day--once in the morning and again at night, just to see how much weight I "lose" come the next morning's weigh in. I log my first thing in the morning weight, but I only compare Mondays to Mondays in my journal, and 1st of the month to 1st of the month. If I'm in a group, I compare whatever day their weigh-in day is. In the case of the Labor Day group, that would be Fridays. =)

I like to see the fluctuations. They don't get me up in arms unless I see like, a four pound increase, and usually I can figure out what caused that, and I know it'll usually go away soon enough.

I know there are experts that say not to do it "daily" but some experts say it keeps some people in line with their diet.  I weigh daily yes i know weight fluctuates daily but i just do it daily.  That's just me.

 

 

Clarice

usually twice a day - in the morning (before breakfast) and before I go to bed

I like to weigh myself first thing Friday mornings - this way I have the whole week to get rid of whatever I might have eaten on the weekend (if there was a get together of sorts).

My "official" weigh in is Friday mornings but I weight myself through the week when I start to feel discouraged. It helps me to see that the number has gone down!

If I weigh myself and it hasn't gone down it gives me the motivation to kick it back into gear then I weigh myself to verify that I am progressing.

During TTOM I weigh myself every day because TTOM makes me obssesive about weight! lol

every day - not so i can freak out, but i just like to not get bad surprises at the end of my week :/

once a week and have thought about going to once a month. When I lost weight before I weighed once a month.

Minimum - once a day. Maximum... 5 times a day? (usually when I'm neurotic and hormonal)

My official weigh-ins are Monday and Friday, to keep me on track during the weekends.

Officially once a week, unofficially 2 or 3 times at random.

Every Saturday morning, when I wake up, I go to the bathroom and then weigh myself in my pajamas, then log the weight.

I do it daily to stay on track.  And sometimes, I do a before-and-after weigh in when I have a very impressive poop.  Sorry if that's TMI, but it amuses me Laughing

Every day. Often more than once a day. It's maddening, but I can't seem to help it! Undecided

Everyday - I weigh in the morning after peeing.  Then at the gym on the way to work I stop in and weigh.  They after my workout I weigh and then when I get home I weigh before dinner and then after dinner.

I might have a scale issue do you think!!  I have tried to cut down but I'm losing at the moment which doesn't happen often so it seems to make me want to get on the scales more

Once a week on Friday mornings.  I don't own a scale...therefore it's easy for me not to weigh myself but once a week (at the gym).

Every other day usually.

I also like to weigh in after a good poop! lolYell

I weigh myself 2 a week, sometimes more. I find it helps me keep track and focussed is the reason I weigh so often. I know this is not good and weight doesn't come off overnight but say if I gain 3 pounds (I binged yesterday =() like I did today, I modify my diet right away by drinking more water, cutting down on sodium and eat healthier foods during the day.

I've been getting frusterated with the daily weigh in. I'm exercising daily and sticking to 1500 or less calorie intake and yet I gain or loose 2 pounds any given day. Weekly weigh in from now on only. :-)

I tend to weigh myself every morning after peeing.

I also think it's funny while drinking beer to weigh oneself before and after peeing.  My record is 700 grams.  For you yanks that's a pound and a half!!!!  Of course I had drunk -ahem- several pints.
