How often do you weigh yourself?

[vlp1968 83]

Hi all,

Just wondering peoples thoughts on how often you should weigh yourself. Recently, I have been getting on the scale everyday and the flucuations were discouraging so I have decided to get on the scale just once a week and record it. That is what I did postop until I reached goal. I then started weighing myself just about every day. For a year, things were great. After that- I think it started with the holidays, I watched the scale go up and up. Gained back half the weight I lost. I feel like I finally have my act together. I have had a good couple weeks. I guess everyone needs to do what's best for them, but for me I think I will stick to once a week weigh ins. Thanks for reading.

Twice a day. Morning and before bed. No harm for me. It's not discouraging if you understand how weight can fluctuate day to day or even hour to hour.

I try and weigh myself once a week but sometimes it ends up being more often than that.....I don't get stressed out by fluctuations but if you do, weekly is much better than daily!

Once a week at most.

I also weigh myself twice a day, morning and night. Little fluctuations are normal and don't bother me but this way I know immediately if there's a major fluctuation.

I've been at goal for a while now and I only get on the scale maybe once a month. I judge by the way I feel and how my clothes are fitting. Plus right now I am bulking and building muscle. I am expecting the scale to go up.

I weigh myself once a day in the morning. I don't get discouraged by the fluctuations also, but it helps to keep me on track. If i see it goin up more then my liking, I kick back into gear.. also.. it motivates me!

fluctuations dont bother me so I get on the scale in the morning and again at night. I tried to do it weekly but I am way to impatient .... This works for me and holds me accountable.

I weigh myself once a day, after I get out of bed

I weigh myself whenever I do my Wii Fit! It's kind of a motivation for me to move. Oh, I want to know my weight? Well then, I better get out the Wii Fit and get active!! LOL

every morning I don't want to miss the one day it does down. every doctor and weight loss plan will tell you once a week for the best results. I mark it daiy on my calendar so I know how my body works ...you need to do what makes you feel the best.

"I am the odd ball"

Now that I am basically at goal, once every 1-2 weeks. I find weighing myself any more than that makes me obsess more on a number, as opposed to just being healthy. But everyone is different.

Once a day at the moment - I don't find it discouraging - I find it motivational
