I weigh myself every morning and sometimes during the day. I know that weghing yourself during the day isnt acurate at ALL, but I find that if I'm tempted to eat something I know isn't good for me, that weghing myself is a good way to stay on track. At least for me anyways.
Also, like someone else said, if I dont I'll obsess about it all day.
I weight myself every morning.. like others have said, it keeps me accountable. I need to know what is going on with my body. If I ate too much sodium the day before.. it shows.
At one time I was going to change it to once a week, but I just couldn't do that. Need to see those numbers!
Weigh in everydayer....I cant seem to get off my scale. It keeps me accountable and smart for the rest of the day. I weigh in the morning and at night so I can see what I gained in food during the day. Most of the time its a 3-4lb difference...I drink a lot of water and pee a lot during my sleep (TMI) but true
I weigh every day. If I don't I start giving myself excuses to eat crap and gain weight and not weigh because if I don't see the number on the scale it doesn't exist .
whenever i'm at the gym, i weigh myself. i don't think it's too accurate, since i go home and stuff my face right afterwards.
i weigh myself before and after my workout and it looks like i lose .5 lbs of water each time. you'd think that the weight would stay the same, since any sweat would stay in my clothes... but i guess i'm exhaling that much water as i breathe? o_O
It has taken a really long time for me to be able to do it and not make myself crazy, but I weigh every morning with an official weigh-in on Wednesdays. I think weighing every day simultaneously keeps me on track and helps desensitize me to the actual (often fluctuating) number, if that makes any sense at all--LOL.
Everyday. I don't want to say that it keeps me "accountable" because that doesn't really make sense to me. Weight is just that... weight... whether it comes from food or from water. I just do it because it's motivation for me. If I see the numbers go up, it pushes me to stay on plan. If I see the numbers go down, it motivates me to stay on plan so I can see then go down MORE. lol.
My weight for the past week:
152.6
152.4
151.4
151.8
149.8 (I liked this day! lol)
150.0
It's usually not down everyday, but Aunt Flow just left so I've been getting rid of some extra bloat weight. Hoping I can be back in the 140's by my official weighin on Saturday!

I was a weekly weigher for the first few months, but I have recently started daily weighing. I much prefer it. I'm not constantly curious, it keeps me more accountable (instead of eating really well 2 days before WI and then cheating after weighing), and I just think my fluctuations are interesting.
I now weigh every morning, and sometimes throughout the day. Not necessarily obsessive "omg, what do I weigh now!?" I just think it's neat to see how my body changes over the day. I know not everyone thinks like this, but understanding my fluctuations makes them easier to deal with.
I weigh daily, but I usually hop on the scale during the day or at night to see how I'm doing. I know I'm usually 2 pounds higher in the day, so I can predict how well I did based on that.
