I think its great to keep track of things, but remember that everyones number is different. Go by how you feel, and don't let a silly number on a scale change how you feel you are doing. So for me, looking down and seeing a 180-190lbs number just made me feel crappy. When most girls my age/height are all like 120-140. So I just felt bad about myself. Until I got sick and actually got down to 130-140 and looked anorexic, I realized I need to stop caring about a number and go on feeling and fit of clothes and how I look in a mirror. Because weight is just a number and everyone's number will vary even. That said, I need to exercise and keep healthy and lose some weight (or inches). |
I weigh myself twice a week. Mondays and Thursday. I do it as soon as I'm up and ready, before I've eaten anything. It helps keep me on track since I can't wait a full week. Once a day is too much for me. My weight can really fluctuate day to day and I don't want to see that because it's too disheartening for me.
Plus I like to see "more action" on my scale. If it's a loss like 0.1 day to day, I would probably find that disheartening too. |
I tried a daily weigh-in challenge here on 3FC for July, and I found it did more harm than good. Even having been at this for over a year, I still put a lot of value on the number on the scale.. so seeing no change (or worse- a gain!) after a good workout/eating day was super disheartening, and made me question staying OP.
I know it's all psychological, and any gains would be just water.. but it still gets me down. So, now I weigh every Monday morning. I exercise Monday-Saturday and take Sunday as a day of rest. This seems to be what works best for me! |
I weigh once a week. On Wednesday mornings. Frankly I don't see the point in weighing every day because the scale doesn't really change that much in 24 hours. And I also imagine that one meal high is salt or a tough workout that can cause water retention might affect the scale falsely. Once a week appears more accurate.

Usually every morning, just to keep on track, but I don't fret if I miss a few days. I have the 'major' weigh in once a week (usually Fridays) in which I record my weight.

Multiple times a day. I used to only do it once a day (mornings), but then I started wanting to monitor myself over the day, make sure I'm doing the right thing. ("Uh oh, I've gained this much over the course of the day, I shouldn't have that" or "I've been good today, maybe I can just walk one mile not two".) Probably not the best thing to do, but I want to run a tight ship.
