How often do you weigh yourself?

unknown

Hey,
I've been doing MFP for about 18 days now, I've lost 8lb with around 58 to go. The program and sticking to it has been working great. I could do with more excersize, but I'm doing my best to push myself. In past diets I would limit myself to a weekly weigh-in, but this time, maybe because of how meticulous I am with my food intake, I've been weighing every day. It generates around a 2lb fluctuation that is driving me a bit crazy. I'm concerned that not stepping on the scale every morning would lead me to downgrade my awareness to what I'm eating and send me back to a less healthy path. So I just wanted to know what is considered, in you view, a solid interval for weighing?

I tell myself I'm going to weigh once weekly on a set day, but I get a bit obsessive and weigh everyday. To be honest, it doesn't work for me - I need to drop to weekly.

Everyday. The fluctuations are normal, and expected, and don't stress me out. I have lost 33 pounds in three months, with 47 more to go. I think, even in maintenance, that every day weigh ins will work best for me. It's way too easy for me to be in denial without them!

I weigh every day, but I only record when I hit a new low (or I have a gain of 3 or more lbs that sticks with me for a week...so i know it's not water weight). I need to stay vigilant because I think it would be very easy for me to put on 10-20lbs in a short period without realizing it. However, everyone is different. The day-to-day fluctuations don't stress me out, but for other people they do, and so weighing weekly works better for them.

I've been weighing every day since... I think April 17th. Seeing the scale jump up a little reminds me to work out a little harder that day, and watch my sodium intake. I don't agonize over any gains though... I'm 13 pounds down from April 1st and I still have a long way to go.. So there's no need to worry unless I keep going up. Lol.

Every other week or so once I reached my goal. I've gotten pretty good at knowing when I need to cut back on my own.

Almost every day. I use an app to keep track of my progress so the more data, the better the trend lines. That said, I only post a loss if I come in at a new weight for at least 3 days in a row. It's also good for me to be able to see how my body loses weight--I tend to lose a lb or so at a time, sometimes preceded by a small upward spike. I would probably get discouraged if I didn't know about that spike and it happened to correspond with a weekly weigh-in. Once I'm in maintenance I'll probably only check in weekly.

Muscle is heavier than fat, the number on the scale doesn't really matter..... Focus on the things you wear regularly, are they getting loose? If yes... Congratulations!

I usually do it once a week. And do it with an empty stomach.... Preferably before having breakfast.....
