Everyone is different some people weigh themselves everyday. I was like that and it drives me crazy to even see . 2 of a difference if it goes up and it becomes an obsession for some people they suggest once a week I usually weigh myself on Wednesdays and Sundays

Answer 80

Because my weight fluctuates so much, I found that weighing daily was discouraging. I'd loose a pound & gain 1/2. Lose 1/2 & gain a 1/3. If I force myself to only weigh once a week, I get steady results & less frustration.  

Comments

This is my thoughts! I’d go nuts if I weighed everyday. I still step on more than once a week because I can’t help it. I hate that. If I see a gain it’s discouraging. Even though I know it’s not a true reflection of my efforts. Before WW I weighed like once every few months. It wasn’t a number I referenced. Not because I hated myself for it but because it just wasn’t a number that mattered to me.  

Answer 81

I’m surprised how many people said daily. I try to do it only once a week which is way more than I used to. But even ‘once a week‘ has me stepping on 3-4 times a week. It’s annoying. It’s not helpful to step on daily a persons weight fluctuates so much that I don’t feel like you’re getting a true read on your weight. Do those who weigh daily log it? What does your weight chart look like?!  

Comments

@hydrops I only log weekly. Weighing daily let’s most of us know where we need to adjust or avoid what was eaten the prior day. If I have a really good week I’ll usually loose anywhere from 3-4 pounds but if I’m eating certain things I will see the fluctuations and end up loosing and gaining the same pound or two. If I’m having a good week I’ll continue to see the ounces go down each day and track the whole week of loss. (Separately from the WW app) Keep in mind that as woman we have to take into consideration what our bodies are going through such as “that time of the month” etc. those weeks I rarely get on the scale because as we all know it’s never accurate. Like today, I’m up . 4 and looking at food intake from yesterday I know it’s sodium, so today I will really watch my sodium intake and lots of water to help flush my system, and by tomorrow I should see that go back down. For me, it’s held me accountable, I’m down 55 pounds, 15 to goal.  

Answer 82

I weigh myself each and every day. I need to keep a close eye on things, in 2019 I lost 60 pounds. It is a real effort to stay within a 5 pound range of that goal weight. I have lost this weight before only to gain it back. This is how I make sure it doesn't come back for another visit.  

Answer 83

Weighing daily is a must for me. The truth teller

Answer 84

Daily for me. Keeps me motivated and helps me learn how different things impact me

Answer 85

Daily. I have salt issues so if I am up . 4. I know I need to drink more water. Also check salt in the food I ate the day before. When I eat out I tend to always go up most restaurants use too much salt for me. I do not cook with any salt. Lots of pepper, onions, garlic, and herbs of kinds.  

Answer 86

Daily do I can plan my day.  

Answer 87

Every day & record in a journal.  

Answer 88

I weigh myself once a week - same day, same time. For me, I find that I get too caught up in the ups and downs if I am weighing every day.  

Answer 89

Daily and it’s a head game!  

Answer 90

Daily keeps me ok n track

Answer 91

Sometimes twice daily—morning and evening. When I’m off track however, sometimes I don’t get on the scale for months at a time. It’s how I bury my head in the sand. So weighing so often for me is a good thing.  

Answer 92

Daily for me. It helps keeping me straight!  

Answer 93

Daily. I think it’s just bc I’m a bit obsessive

Answer 94

Daily. Before breakfast.  

Answer 95

Every morning. Naked. It keeps me in check. If I’m up, I’ll try harder that day— well, MOST of the time!

Comments

@gebhart6217 if I’m being honest, me too  

Answer 115

I weigh on Wednesdays which is the middle of my week. It gives me an idea of whether I’m doing well or I need to tighten up Wed-Friday night. Just another tool.
