You should only weigh yourself once a week that way you avoid the daily fluctuations but see the actual change in yourself. I'd also recommend using a tape measure so you can see the size changes too. Also when you weigh keep things the same. So same time of day and close o possible to same clothes too!
Good luck!

According to my doc it should be once a month.....I do it at least three times a day.

Once a month is definitely best for a woman, as you don't get the impact of the monthly cycle then.
xxI'm the worlds worst for weighing myself ALL the time, but really I think once a week at most is your best bet... weight fluctuates so easily and it can have such a negative affect on your outlook for the day (or few hours until the next weigh in!) and spacing it out a little more definitely gives a more accurate picture. Measuring yourself is also a great thing to do!

I am really bad for standing on the scales too much. I was standing on them every morning, and often can find myself standing on them when I go to the bathroom. It's bad, my hubby has hid the scales from me and will bring them out once a week for a weekly weigh in. I asked him to do that, as I was driving myself bananas with standing on them all the time.

Funnily enough, a study came out this week concluding that weighing yourself more often made you more likely to lose weight.

I officially weigh every week at group but find myself jumping on scales at home if I have a slight blip. Shouldn't but it personally helps me get back on it. I personally would say weigh once a week as your weight does fluctuate. I was heading for a gain earlier in week due to new years but now it's a generous loss. Its only because I've learnt this is what happens that I don't get beat up about it but for a newbie it could send them off track majorly x
Good luck with your journey x

I started a diet six days ago and if I don't weight myself daily I will not keep it in my head that my weight needs to be sorted. If the weight doesn't come off as fast as I would like I will convince myself it is for instance body fluctuations, etc., so won't get too worried.

Like everything in weight loss you will hear a lot of different answer
It show that
I've also read that
So it depends on you.
But I believe most of us can't go wrong with 1 time a week.
Good luck

It really depends on your personality.
I've also read that
But they mention that if you had any eating disorder that weighting often isn't recommended.
