How often you weigh is very much a personal thing. I weigh myself first thing in the morning and last thing at night every day. The two weights are usually about 4 pounds apart, which is to be expected. Usually when you weigh first thing in the morning, after going to the bathroom, you are at your lightest. I use my weight as a guide and do not get obsessed when the scales go up a pound or two for no apparent reason.

Many however only weigh themselves once a week or less often as they do not want to be discouraged by small changes on the scales.

Others prefer not to use the scales at all as a measure and use the pant-o-meter. Those trousers that did not fit, but over time they do.

The choice is very much up to you and what you feel happiest with. You almost want to do a poll on this!
