How Often Should You Weigh Yourself?

Stressing over the number on the scale?

For the past 2 months, I have been obsessed of weighing myself. I will weigh myself the very first thing in the morning and later before turning in to sleep. Obsessed much?
How much is too much and when in the correct/ right time @ how often should I weigh myself?
According to MyFitnessPal blog, it is ok to occasionally weigh yourself, just to be sure that you are on the right track towards healthier body mass.
Daily Weigh-Ins This is so me. I love to weigh myself daily just to keep reminding myself of my goals. Just remember not to stress about the fluctuations. If the increase of 0.5 kg bothers you and affects your mood and behaviour, then stop your daily weigh-ins. The number is just that - a number.
Weekly Weigh-Ins After six days of a healthy lifestyle, weighing yourself to track the progress could be very rewarding. Pick a consistent day each week and weigh yourself in the morning. This practice could spare you the roller-coaster of mood if you have been doing daily weigh-ins and get affected by the daily numbers.
One point for us to ponder - weight fluctuations are common because our weights are affected by various factors - weather, bathroom habits, how hydrated we are and the daily exercise routine. A few kgs of weight fluctuations are usually not fat gain but a result of our body regulating its physiological functions. However if the increase in weight occurs daily, then you have to start re-evaluating your daily habits - you might be eating too much unnecessarily,  lacking in exercise, the routine has become a habit and the body loses it resistance towards the routine and so many more reasons.

The correct way to weigh yourself

Whatever you have been doing, just do something that makes you feel good daily cause stress could also cause weight fluctuations. Weigh in every day or weekly is up to the individual. As for me, I love to weigh myself every morning - the very first thing in the morning after I wake up.
