I always weigh myself on my digital scale and then run into the other room and weigh myself on hubby's manual scale . They're usually the same.

I weigh myself once every morning after exercise and before breakfast (hoping to get the best result that way!!

[westernsoutherngirl]

I usually weigh three times because weirdly enough if I weigh three times 2 of those 3 weights will be the same. Like this 164.2 then 162.8, 162.8. Scale strangeness!

Gosh - my scale is at least 25 years old (not digital). I weigh usually a couple of times....it's usually the same weight both times. Once in a while a slight difference.

I weigh myself in the morning right after I go to the bathroom. Then naked... cuz those darn clothes weigh in from 3-5 pounds... =) I only do it once a day and thinking of switching to once a week... cuz the roller coaster of water weight in & out stresses me out!

I usually just record the first weight I see. This morning, however, I decided to try something different and do it a few times and boy was I surprised! I had weights ranging from 195.2-198.6! All within 2 minutes. Just curious what everyone else here does.

Well yes I do usually try three attempts. Sometimes where I am standing affects the readout. But I have a really good digital scale that also reads water % and fat %.

After finding out that temp and humidity affects the spring on the old fashioned scales I stopped using them.

Once and done for me...and sometimes a couple days between weights.

Same here. I just use the Wii and deal with whatever it says.

How does that work? What brand is it, I am interested in that kind of scale! Thanks =)

There's a doctor's scale in the bathroom of my office. I usually weigh myself first thing in the morning before my coffee. And on official weigh-ins, I make sure I don't wear heavy clothes or shoes.

If my number seems way off I'll reset the scale and try again. But usually I take the first number. Occasionally I'll do the scale dance but most of the time it comes up with the same number so I'm pretty comfortable with my scale. Although, once in a while my boyfriend will kick it accidentally as he walks by so it requires a reset when I'm all of a sudden up or down 20 pounds overnight.

Ahhhhh! I'm so glad that I'm not alone! My scale will go up and down sometimes by a pound or so within seconds, leaving me to think "How in the heck did I just gain/lose .6 lbs. just standing here!?"

Sometimes I'll weigh just once, sometimes I'll hop on and off a few times. I always take the lowest number :-)

I do it a couple of times..I guess wishing it would go down even more..lol I weigh daily. First thing after I pee. In a t-shirt nightgown. That way I always have the same thing on. I have 2 daughters and out scale is in the kitchen so I didnt think streaking through the house would be a good thing for them to see lol

[beth4365]

Just once. That's usually enough motivation to keep my calories controlled for the first few hours a a day. *whistling.... and wishing it would always keep me motivated for the last few hours of the day...
