how often do you weigh yourself?

Simple question.. I think everyday is a little too much but weighing myself has become one of my favorite parts of my day! Just wanting some feedback to see what everyone one else says! :) Thanks!

I do not have scales at home but from experience before losing weight....scales kept me in check! If i had scales now maybe I wouldn't be up almost 10 lbs! (I'm 1 year 3 months out)....

I don't own a scale, so I try to check my weight about once/week at work so I have something to post on my ticker. It's probably not super accurate since I am fully clothed, sometimes with boots and jacket and sometimes before breakfast and sometimes after a lunch or snack, depending on when I remember to do it. But it gives me a general idea of my trends.

Hi! Like you weighing myself has become one of my favorite parts of the day I'm loving seeing numbers that begin with a 2 instead of a 3. However, I only record the weight on a weekly basis, so the fluctuations between days "don't count".

I weight myself EVERYDAY. I will never stop.

I only weigh myself once a month. If I were to weigh everyday it would screw with my mind. If the scale was down I would think great I can eat more. If the scale was up I would say, screw it why bother. This is working great for me. As long as my clothes feel better I am happy. I do take my measurements every 2 weeks and that really helps.

I weigh daily, same time. I keep a spreadsheet with my numbers. I need to be able to see and track.

I weigh myself everyday. I feel like it really messes with my head though. I need to weigh only once a week. I let the scale affect my mood. I think I need my husband to take the scale away. I see it and I weigh. Not good

I've been weighing everyday and I think it's becoming somewhat of an obsession and I just don't know if it's the best idea. It's good to know I might not be going crazy.

I weigh myself once, every morning when I wake up, and write it down in a calendar. I've been doing this for years and I notice the times where my weight really went up were the times when I wasn't weighing every day. It keeps you cognizant of gains a lot more quickly than if you only weigh every once in awhile.

I use to weigh myself every morning and it would always mess with my mind. Like one minute after a hard work out I would be down about 5 lbs. Then go home drink water and go to sleep. Then in the morning weigh my self and have gained like 3 lbs back. It was a mind game even when I know it was probably water weight. So now I weigh in either once a week or every 2 weeks.

I weigh myself every morning when I wake up right before my shower. I did that even before my surgery.

Everyday. I keep track of my first morning weigh in but then jump on and off that thing all day long. It's an obsession....and not a healthy one.
