how often does everyone weigh in? weekly? bi-weekly? monthly?

just curious....

daily. it helps me stay on top of myself all the time

Daily, but I take the number with a grain of salt. I fluctuate A LOT, so it helps keep me motivated to see the downward TREND. When I weighed weekly I would often become discouraged by a gain, but weighing daily and looking at the weekly average results in a much more accurate picture of my weekly weight loss for me.

I used to weigh in daily, but it got too frustrating. I could logically tell myself that I wasn't going to see a drop EVERY DAY, but emotionally I couldn't handle it. So now I weigh myself weekly. I'm much more likely to see a drop every time I weigh, which is much more motivating to me!

I weigh in officially once a week at my weight watchers meeting. I also weigh myself at home here and there.. I also fluctuate. It usually is the ball park of a certain number.
I consider my once a week weigh in my official weight for the week.that is what a put in my ticker for 3FC

Daily. It keeps me accountable but I only log Sunday's weight on my official sheet.

I weigh-in Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at my weight-loss center. Those days fit into my school and work sch plus were supposed to get in the center between 3-5 times a week to weigh-in.

I weigh-in daily too - same time every morning. Its the first thing I do, after turning on the coffee pot :-) It keeps me accountable as well as motivated.

I weigh in every other week. Monday mornings. I look forward to that day. I used to weigh every day but that just became to much for me. I weigh in every other week because if I have a bad day or 2 it gives me time to get back on and still see a loss.

MAIN GOAL:


MINI GOAL:

[PrairieGirl]

Compulsively and constantly. I weigh on 5 different scales and multiple times a day...I track the weight on each one to determine which scale I trust the most and to reassure me that the number is not going up.

Officially at home, Friday mornings is the official weigh in once a week though, but I am usually lowest Wedensday mornings on the glass scale at my workplace.

For whatever it's worth, what happens one day doesn't necessarily show up on the scale the next . Like if you eat a calorie-heavy meal for dinner one night your weight may be the same or drop the next morning. Or vice verse- if you are totally on plan, or under cals, one day, the scale may be up the next. Unlike us, our bodies don't run on 24-hour cycles.

I am a daily weigher so I'm definitely not saying that daily weighing is bad! But it's helpful to remember if you do decide to weight yourself every day it's not always useful to see when you lost it... because that loss could be reflecting food you ate two or three days ago... if that makes sense.

Just something I learned (and have to be reminded of frequently!) on 3fc that's helpful to me good luck!

I weigh myself daily. I go crazy if I don't know where my weight is at. It helps me stay accountable. Weighing myself daily helps me figure out what works with my body and what doesn't. I take the weight fluctuations with a grain of salt though. The weight that I record are the ones on Wednesdays.

I became too obsessed with weighing. Now my scale is in the basement and I weight once a month, one week after my period is over. I try to make sure not to eat too many salty things (like pickles or olives) the day before I weigh in.
