Once a week on Friday for me. In past failed diets I weighed daily, and fell into some dangerous and unhealthy obsessions when the scale betrayed me. I will not go back to that. Because I am faithful to myself, I actually look forward to my Friday weigh in.
Hehe, I think I'm the opposite of everyone. I weigh myself when I start out on getting myself together, and then for the first few months, I only weigh once a month. Then when I'm going strong and know that I've been losing, I'll weigh once a week or two weeks. Depends on if I remember.
I don't like I be obsessive about it. I've always been more about how my clothes fit rather than what the scale says. The scale can stay the same, but if my pants are looser, than I am a happy camper.
I weigh once a week. For that weigh-in I try to do it at the exact same time, conditions, etc. Sometimes I'll hop on the scale during the week just for some idea of progress, but as I may be in a different state of dress or time of day, I don't give it much "weight".
I weigh a few times a day. I'm very obsessed. I just started on my journey and lost a few pounds and i just know i'm going to step on the scale one day and there those 10 pounds will be looking me in the face saying "you really thought you lost me didnt you?" so far so good...i only weigh in and measure once a month at the gym so I guess I need to pick a day every week or every other week to keep track more often and to update my profile and my ticker when i earn it.
I weigh everyday but only worry about the number I get on Mondays. I need to weight everyday. I need to when over indulging in my eating so I can change things up.
I weigh myself in the morning to stay on track. However, I only count the number I see on my official weigh in day which is Monday. The other days are just to monitor progress, reduce salt when needed and motivation to drink more water.
I weight every day. It definitely works best for me. My weight does fluctuate a lot from day to day, but I understand that, and if I do gain a little from one day to the next it doesn't bother me. I graph my daily weights in excel so I can see the overall trend. I do count my Monday morning weigh-in as more of my official weigh-in, and that's what I put on my blog.
I weigh twice a day; once in the morning and once at night. I am a little obsessive about it, but it helps me stay on focus. I change the ticker when I hit the same number three days in a row. I have a total routine.
If I'm doing badly, I avoid the scale like the plague; however, if I'm on track, I usually weigh every morning just to start the day with my health in mind. I only really worry about the number on Monday mornings, though.
I weigh every time I go to the bathroom, past the bathroom or in the general direction of the bathroom. I know I shouldn't and I have tried not to but I still do. It is kind of sad isn't it.
I weigh myself every day, in the morning after using the bathroom. I take normal fluctuations into consideration, such as PMS, etc., but weighing myself everyday helps keep me on track. For one thing, it sure makes me think twice about what I put into my mouth. Also, I know that if I am a pound or so up, and there is no reason for it (such as PMS) other than I just ate too much, I can evaluate my behavior (emotional eating/not challenging my body enough, for example) to change that behavior so that I can continue losing. I look at the scale as a tool to monitor my weight, much as a diabetic uses a glucometer to monitor their sugar levels. The scale doesn't make me have a good/bad day, but that's just me.
I weigh myself daily..never worrying about the small fluctuations which can happen when you weigh yourself daily. If I see the weight in upward trend for 2 -3 days in a row then I change my diet, pattern add more cardio till I get back in the desired range...to me weighing daily means keeping myself on track rather than waiting for 7 days to see if I got off track or was going right.
I weigh every day, sometimes more than once. Only count Mondays for my ticker. I try to very much focus on how satisfying it is to see a lower number on the scale...lower than my starting number that is!
Weekends are my weakness, so the other thing about a Monday weighin is that most of the week I am usually lower. Monday is usually my "highest" morning of the week...and I then get some pretty immediate satisfaction.
The key for me has been not to obsess about daily changes, but to use the current scale weight as a positive. (Hey, the middle number is 1, hallelujah) even when the total number fluctuates a bit. As others have noted, it has also helped to identify some of the fluctuations and what causes them. (For instance Chinese food invariably causes a jump...the msg grabs every water molecule and hangs on tight!)
I weight myself everyday probably about three times during the day but I only record it once a week. I would like to only weight myself once a week but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
