Mrs. Bee just mentioned that she weighs herself once and counts that weight as her weight for the day. I was like, say what?? I weigh myself up to three times and count the lowest weight (they're usually pretty close to each other anyway). Unless it's unexpectedly low, in which case I immediately step off the scale and don't weigh myself again.
How many times do you weigh yourself when you step on a scale?

Do you mean three times in a row? I usually just weigh myself once!

@lawbee11: I guess I mean, if I don't like my weight then I'll weigh myself again... and then again... and then I'll give up.
If I'm happy with what the scale says, then I step off right away.

Haha I occasionally weigh myself twice, just in case the scale made a mistake the first time lol. It rarely changes

Just once! In the morning, after using the bathroom, before getting dressed. I KNOW that's gonna be the lowest I'll weigh all day!

Wow, never weighed more than once a day. We don't have a scale, I go buy how my pants fit mainly!

i don't anymore, but when i did, i kept the scale in the doorway of the kitchen & had to weigh myself each time before entering. i don't suggest that though.

Only once but my husband just clued me in yesterday to the fact that trying multiple times gives different results with our scale... So I bought a new one that is supposed to not do that.

@mrs. bird: that literally made me laugh out loud. My college roommate taped pictures of supermodels in bikinis to our fridge for the same purpose. Probably wise that you gave up that practice.

@IRunForFun: Haha, me too!!
Just one time. DH likes to weigh himself before and after various things though (going to the bathroom, showering, putting clothes on). He's just a weirdo though

Haha just once, but I weigh myself just a couple times a month, not everyday.

I used to only weigh myself occasionally, but I'm in the middle of a DietBet, so I weigh myself much more often.
I usually do it in the morning after I get up and use the bathroom, but if I forget, I'll weigh myself throughout the day. It's crazy how much it fluctuates (for me).

I wouldn't recommend weighing yourself more than once a week, definitely not more than once a day! Weight fluctuates quite a lot day-to-day and hour-to-hour, so if you're 130 in the morning and 135 at night, that doesn't really mean anything.

I do 2 out of 3! So if the first two are the same number, I stick with that. But if they fluctuate, I measure a third time and usually 2 of them are the same.

@pui: yah not suggesting constant weigh-ins. Just saying that when I do weigh myself, I may take a mulligan or two! It doesn't really do anything though because the scale is pretty consistent...

@swurlygurl: My husband does that too haha. He doesn't care about his weight at all- he just thinks it's entertaining to see what he weighs before and after bathroom visits, big meals, etc!
I only weigh myself once unless it's higher than I thought it would be and then I check again but that's not very often!

2+. My scale is a little wonky so I always weigh twice to make sure I get the same number. If I don't then I keep weighing until I get the same number twice in a row, and count that as the number.

@mrbee: I do the exact same as you! I usually step on and off twice in a row to make sure the first reading was accurate...unless of course the number is good, then I assume it is 100% accurate and don't need to step on again.

@mrbee: HAHA! I always weigh myself twice in a row, even if I like the number on the scale.

I rarely weigh myself, but when I do: twice {for accuracy}, in the am, in my birthday suit, and after I've used the restroom. Obviously only the lower one counts.
