I was wondering how often you ladies weigh yourselves.... once a day, once a week, once a month? If you weigh yourself everyday do you notice alot of fluctuations? I'm the type of person to at least weigh myself once a day. I get discourged though sometimes cause my weight is always fluctuating... up and down.
I weigh once a day the same way every day. Right after I get out of bed and go to the bathroom, no clothing, and my weight rarely fluctuates. When I weigh at different times of the day my weight can fluctuate up to 5 pounds!
I also weigh first thing in the morning, naked, after a trip to the bathroom. And my weight flucuates like crazy, but the general trend for my weight is heading down, so that's OK.
I "unofficially" weight myself every day (actually normally twice a day). Once in the morning right after I get up with my clothing on, then normally (no always) I weigh myself in the evening right before I go to bed. I generally will flucuate up to 5 pounds during the course of a day.
I officially weight myself every Saturday morning, first thing in the morning, after the bathroom, naked. This is the only time I chage my fitday results and my ticker here.
Same for me...every morning after I go to the bathroom. It generally doesn't vary a whole lot, although too much salt and a big dinner can send it up two pounds or so, and sleeping in a long time can send it down a bit. I only take my "official" weight on Fridays, though...the daily weighings are more of a reminder to be good that day.
I find my week-to-week numbers pretty steady, but I've been amenorrheic for several years now (depo-provera). I understand that many women see smaller losses or even gains before their periods and then get a big loss afterwards from water retention.
Generally once a day, in the morning. Now I am scaleless and I'm debating whether to buy one now or to wait until the end of the summer and see how much weight has come off!
I will admit that I am obsessed with weighing myself....
I weigh myself usually 3 times a day, but every now and then I'll step on the scale just to see where I am during the day. I always weight myself in the morning after I go to the bathroom, and I like to weigh myself right after the gym, because I tend to weigh lowest then (though I have heard a lot of people weigh more because of water retention, that doesn't seem to be true for me), and I weigh myself right before I get into bed just to see where I'm at for the day. I know that my weight will go up quite a few lbs by the end of the day, so it doesn't freak me out to see that.
My official weigh in day, when I measure and all that too, is Thursday... but if I see a lower number in the mornings I will sometimes update my ticker & info just because I really like that number!
Today my dad asked me how come I weigh myself so much, and my answer was simple: the way I gained so much weight was not having a scale, not keeping myself in check, and thinking "oh I'm probably about the same weight today" for many many months or overeating. So for me, the scale keeps me in check.
Now I'll shut up, lol.
I weighed once a day but the fluctuations (absolutley normal) were har on my morale, so I started weighing in once a week... and now I weigh in whenever I have the courage to look
I don't even own a scale! If I did, I know I would be on it all the time.
Basically I weigh myself when I go home (I'm in college), so that's about once a month. I think that's a good thing because then I don't have all the problems with daily fluxuations, and can get a much better idea of overall progress. Also, it's much nicer to have those "Oh wow, I lost 5 pounds!" moments than "Oh no, I went up .1 pound!!" ones.
But I weigh myself frequently through the day, and usually see a fluctuation of about 3-4 lbs. Depending on how late I ate the night before, I can weigh 1-2 lbs more the next morning.. so I usually cut it off early the night before my official weigh in.
when do you weigh
