Fluctuating weight - how often do you weigh?
I usually weigh myself every day and it never bothers me, but I've decided to go back to the Weigh****chers-style once-a-week weigh-in... that way I can take an official measurement instead of look at the fluctuating amounts.
I swear in any given day my weight fluctuates 2-5lbs... anyone else that way too? It's can sometimes be discouraging since I am trying to lose ten pounds. BUT... either way... once a week will be better I think.

Hey girl! (you look amazing BTW), I used to step on the scale everyday, sometimes more than once, and it was increasingly frustrating so I decided to take a month off from the scale to kind of detox from it! When I finally step back on it on the 1st Im promising myself to only get on once a week and if I find myself stepping on it more then back to the closet it goes!! lol

I weigh every morning... I'm a bit of a control freak..I don't generally get upset because I know if I've done all the right things, avoided sugar and carbs..any gain I might see is strictly fluid retention..if I'm in a stall I give it 3 days.. then I start taking steps to break it....weighing every day keeps me on top of things, and in control.
The biggest reason I weigh everyday??
Not knowing would drive me crazy!

At my 9 month appt my surgeon, who is phenomenal and every experienced, gave me a list of options of successful strategies surgery patients have done to keep the weight off. He loves to give pop quizzes. After a little deliberation, I chose "eat breakfast every day." Mind you, all the obvious ones (excersise regularly, don't skip meals) were on there, too. I thought it was a trick :)
Guess what? The answer he found, over the long term, was that they weigh every day. (And, take corrective acitons, as needed).
Couldn't believe it - that felt unconventional and obsessive. But, as I reflected on the times I went up in my weight in the past, it definitely correlates to a time I refused to step on the scale.
Wanted to share, for whatever its worth to someone else.
I weight every single day first thing in the AM. I also record my weight on my health tracker every time it changes - up or down. It helps to watch the chart vs TOM, etc.
Works for me!! Good luck everyone!

Well good to know because I really don't mind doing it every day! :)
I'm with ya Elena. I was weighing everyday and getting discouraged because of the differences daily. I now weigh once a week and consistantly have a loss. Sometimes I will do a mid week weigh but try not to!

I have to weigh every day to keep myself on track. In the past, not knowing how much I weighed or that I was gaining led to denial and an upward spiral.
I do flucuate from day to day but as long as I weigh every day I can see the trends and know when the gain is actually a gain. Then I can stop it before it gets out of hand.
I have to do this because I am such an ostrich to keep my head out of the sand but I'm sure that other strategies work for other people.

I weigh every day about an hour after I get up. I don't count the loss/gain until it is 3 days consistent. The only time I don't do this is during my TOM because I gain a crazy 7 pounds or so and it just ticks me off. I'll also occasionally weigh when I am craving something bad for me. It helps me see how far I have come and that the bad food is not worth it.
My weight also fluctuates 2-5lbs a day and of course my dr appts always fall in the afternoon!
