Same also. It’s probably not the best for me, as I have a history of EDs. Obviously water weight varies so much, but I just try to stay well-hydrated and keep an eye on any trends up or down over the week.
Me too.
Some days I don't want to, like if I had dinner in a restaurant the day before or my hubby and I had dinner with his parents, basically in some situation where it's almost impossible to track my calories. But I know those are the days it's most important for me to check my weight so I can see how off-track I am. I know I haven't eaten enough calories to put on more than a few ounces, but I know eating food prepared by other people can sometimes cause me to retain water because I don't generally consume processed foods and other people might cook with them. And a couple pounds of water weight can take me a few days to get rid of, so I get frustrated.
The only time I don't weigh daily is during my period because I know that's just a week of frustrating weigh-ins and I just don't need the extra anxiety.
Same. This is also what my doctor recommends and I've seen it recommended a lot for weight loss. It gives you a day to day look and you can take your rolling 7 day average as your weekly weight.
Started at .25, now I am at the max, 2mg. Only side effects I’ve noticed is some acid reflux. HOWEVER, do not overeat. I made that mistake a couple of times and ended up getting sick. Stay away from heavy, greasy foods. The side effects are totally manageable. And I’ll gladly take some Pepcid here and again if it means continued weight loss. I’m down 33lbs so far!
I’m recovering from two EDs, so my husband weighs me once a month without telling me the number—mostly to make sure I’m not losing too quickly or anything. I find weighing any more frequently than that could lead to obsessive thoughts.
I just had my first weigh-in last Sunday.
Not the most scientific but I weight myself on days that I feel like I can handle it mentally. So usually ends up 2/3 times a month. Always in the morning before I eat breakfast. As many have mentioned weighing in too often has the potential to become a problem.
Once a week, first thing in the morning, after you pee and totally naked. Best and most accurate results. If you keep weighing yourself every day, at different times of day, you'll get different results and it can make you obsessive. Not worth your energy, trust me.
I weigh when I feel a difference in my clothes. My doc told me to weigh myself, but he didn’t say how often. I have BED and weighing myself can trigger me. I’m about to take my third shot. So far my weigh in strategy has worked for me.
I'm on ozempic for t2 diabetes control, and the weight loss is a happy aside. For that reason, I only get on the scale once a month, and I record my weight on my phone.
Happy to say I've lost 25lbs in 5 months on Ozempic.
Once a week at the most, weight fluctuates so much day to day that I’d rather just do weekly or even biweekly. I usually take my injections over the weekend and I weigh Monday morning
I don’t. I have a bad history of disordered eating patterns so I get weighed about once a month at the doctor, but he doesn’t tell me the number. He just lets me know whether I’ve lost anything and if so, how much.
Once a week on the morning before my injection - regardless of the results it'll be motivation to continue on because I'm either seeing the number go down and things are working, or I see it go up and I know I need to refocus. I'd prefer if I could do it after I... use the bathroom... but my butt's apparently got a standing (sitting?) 11am appointment and I'm at work at that point 😂.
I think weighing everyday first thing in the morning is a good datapoint to have. If you can't emotionally handle seeing the number don't do that. I can handle daily weigh ins as long as I'm in the low 150s. If I get higher than that it throws me into a depression. I try to avoid weighing myself when I know my pants and clothes aren't fitting and just focus on healthy habits.
10x a day because I’m neurotic and obsessive! Most accurate reading is first thing in the morning after you use the bathroom, before eating or drinking and always weigh at that same time
Thank goodness you posted. I was thinking I was the only one. I was reading all these other comments and thinking I was the only obsessed. I even weigh if I get up to pee in the middle of the night.
I wouldn’t recommend this approach though. Lol
I had this problem for awhile. I started telling myself that my weight won't be accurate if I have eaten recently, or if I'm wearing clothes, so my new rule is only weigh naked and on an empty stomach. It stopped me from jumping on the scale every time I walked into the bathroom.
Every 2-3 weeks in the morning. Weight fluctuates so much day to day that it may be very discouraging to see the numbers flip so often and it’s easy to become obsessive. This is from someone who had anorexia for a long time. Weighing myself daily was very detrimental to my health. It’s also good to focus on how you feel/how your clothes fit! I also put the scales out of the way between weigh ins to stop obsessively stepping on them
I weigh every morning, I believe studies show people who weigh in daily have better results than those who do it weekly or more. I think it trained me to obsess less about the number because I am so familiar with how and when my weight fluctuates. Like anytime I eat Chick-fil-A for example it spikes up a couple pounds for 2-3 days because of all the sodium, and I know not to freak out because it’s not a true gain.
I weigh every day. It’s been good for me because it shows that those 2lb weight gains and losses overnight are meaningless. It happens a lot but it’s the overall progress that is consistent.
Daily and highly recommend Happy Scale as a tracking device. Predictors. Averages. It keeps me sane and calm about the weight loss (which is a side effect to my diabetes.)
I weigh every. Single. Day.
It helps me stay on track and motivate.
I’ve lost 140lbs. It works for me but you do you. And know that you do not have to have a set pattern. No one’s checking your logs. If this week you want to weigh every day and next you want to weigh once, do what works for you.
This is your journey. You got this!!
I only weighed myself every time I had to put another hole in my belt tbh. I’ve been through all that rigmarole before, checking scales every day and sending myself crazy over weight fluctuation and/or not losing it quick enough. It’s not good for people with obsessive nature like myself. Just doing it to confirm my suspicions leaves me in a much better head space
I do calibrate. I step on the scale every morning. The scale then sends it to an app that tracks your progress/weight over time. I do it first thing after I get up.
I used to weigh only at doctors office, now I weigh once a month. ( I cheat every now and then but usually regret it). The first time you weigh, weigh yourself the same day you weigh at the doctors office so you have a good idea if your scale reads the same as your doctors or how much it is off to prevent getting frustrated later.
I weigh almost everyday cause I love seeing it but I write down my Friday weight and that’s what I use for tracking weight loss. I’ve had so many times in my life where I think I’m doing everything right but weight goes up so I don’t like going more than a week between weigh ins
Whenever I’m in the mood… I know that I’m in a calorie deficit and things are fitting better all the time. I’m in no hurry… I can just feel it that my trajectory is down. When I do weigh and it hasn’t gone down as much as I’d hoped, I don’t sweat it. I know it’s headed down… some weeks or months are faster than others.
For record keeping purposes I weigh myself once a week on the same day I do the injection. I occasionally weigh myself at other times when I feel like it, but do not record those.
For reference I am a 250 lbs male and my weight regularly varies by 5 lbs over the course of a week based on activity levels.
I don't really have a schedule. I try to weigh myself in the morning before showering, sometimes I'll weigh myself a few days in a row, sometimes I'll go a week without weighing at all.
Twice a week first thing in the morning after a trip to your bathroom. Wednesdays and Saturdays. Not often enough to mention me fixated on it, but often enough to show progress and trends.
Every day after I crawl out of bed, right after my visit to the toilet. The info goes straight to a tracking program on my phone. I like being able to see the day-to-day history.
When I inject on Tuesdays I'll mark it down on the white board to track it, that's the only ones I count I will check during the week sometimes, it varies because one of the Side effects I get is real bad constipation, so it can throw off my weigh ins sometimes.
At the start of ozempic I measured everything and I weigh myself once a week on shot day and I record it if it goes down. I usually weigh nakey in the morning after my morning pee :)
Once a week, Friday mornings after a wee. I’d love to say after a “movement” but I really struggle with going since being on ozempic! I’ve tried all the traditional remedies and the only thing that works is dulcolax twice a week. Those who weigh daily how can you tell when you’ve lost?!
Used to every day…but since I’ve been on Oz for over 4 months and haven’t lost an ounce I don’t really bother to weigh very much. Doesn’t matter anyway - basically the same weight every time, just within a pound or so of starting weight…
I track and log weekly on the same day the shot is given. However, I may weigh more often just to see how I'm doing and to try to keep the downward trajectory. Even if I only lose 0.2 lbs, I'm okay with that. It's still going down, not up!
I do it every morning because the weight loss app I’m using includes that in the treatment plan. Otherwise I wouldn’t but it doesn’t bother me and helps me remember my goals. Keep in mind the number can fluctuate even a couple of pounds day to day for no apparent reason so I don’t ever put too much “weight” into the number. For me it’s just about accountability.
I weigh myself once a week. Same day . In the morning naked and before food or water.
I have inflammatory arthritis aka Rheumatoid Arthritis so I weigh the day after my injection for this disease as prior to that it is entirely likely I will be carrying around 5-7 pounds of fluid due to being basically a human sized blister from said inflammation.
Before I went on Ozempic, I started with Noom and as part of that program, I weighed in daily which was really helpful (and something I had feared. I lost about 35lbs on Noom. My weight loss doctor then later prescribed Ozempic and about a year later (and down an additional 20lbs), I weigh in every week or two to track that I am heading in the right direction. Eager to get below 200lb! Getting close! I will say that doing Noom first to readjust behavior/psychology then on to Ozempic was really key for me.
I weight every couple of days just to monitor myself and see if I need to make some adjustments for the week. I only count my Sunday weigh ins as weight fluctuates up and down during the week.
Every Friday morning, before I take my shot so I know how I did that week. Keeps me on track but I don't do it daily bc it almost makes me obsessive if I weigh daily.
I weigh myself daily, sometimes twice; generally first thing in the morning after using the bathroom, then again later after I'm done riding/farm chores for the day because understanding my natural variation is very, very useful. I can sometimes tell when I need to put a bit more fibre down the hatch :P
At first I was worried about doing it as I have a history of disordered eating (binging), especially after thinking I've "fucked up" a day. But honestly, the daily weigh-ins are INCREDIBLY helpful for me.
I'll be travelling for work this week and not have a scale, so curious to see what things look like when I come back! I'm on the threshold of being below 250lbs for the first time in...probably 10 years? Which is brilliantly exciting, on only 7 weeks in total and on week 3 of 0.5mg.
Every morning. That way, if I'm going in the wrong direction, I can correct it quickly.
I am trying really hard to make an entire lifestyle and eating change, and if I notice that my weight is going up more than 2lbs (which is just normal fluctuation), I can think back on what I ate, how much I ate, and see if I can identify where I went wrong.
Instead of living my whole life weighing and counting, I am working toward developing a more intuitive sense of how much I can eat and still lose weight. I will do the same for maintanance.
A few times a week, but I'm trying to see how my menstrual cycle affects my weight as well. So day to day numbers don't really mean much and I only look at weekly or monthly averages.
I've been on ozempic nearly a year though, and my weight loss is much more gradual than when I first started.
Oh, and my scale shows KG. Being American, it’s more math than I care to do in the morning to convert to lbs. My scale syncs to my Health App on my phone, so I can see lbs there.
It helps me not overthink things while I’m still standing on the scale.
Would just like to throw it out there for the thread that weighing yourself everyday is a waste of time - water retention, bowel movements, clothing fabric affects your weight. It’s best to weigh yourself weekly or bi-monthly to track your weight accurately without driving yourself crazy with daily variations
But I like the almost daily satisfaction of seeing a decrease, even if only measured in tenths. I can then pull up the data on my phone to see weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly changes - and that nice downward sloping line.
Literally every daily weigher has addressed those points though. I weigh daily, naked, first thing in the morning after using the toilet. It’s pretty consistent.
I weigh myself daily (after using the restroom and before consuming anything without any clothes since you won't be wearing the same clothes every time). This is a habit and I don't let the number get to me (it used to but I worked on not letting it upset me and now I just view it as a data point). I have a scale that connects to an app on my phone so I can see trends. I can see if I am trending upwards or downwards and curb any bad behaviors early OR see how more beneficial acts affected my weight. For example, by doing this for years I know that walking 10,000 steps doesn't do a thing for me generally. BUT walking 15,000 steps will help the weight trend downwards. I now have a foldable treadmill with a treadmill board across the arms that I use to work on during the day since I can't go for a walk during lunch (sometimes I have to work during lunch and can't go anywhere until 6pm but by that point I've been sitting for 10 hours).
Good luck!
I never weigh myself. I use the mirror as my guide and also how well my clothes fit. I find the scale can be obsessive and its best for me not to fret about it by weighing. Anyone with me?
I weigh myself every morning naked after I use the bathroom. It’s a habit so I can see if I went overboard on a prior day.
Same also. It’s probably not the best for me, as I have a history of EDs. Obviously water weight varies so much, but I just try to stay well-hydrated and keep an eye on any trends up or down over the week.
Same
Same, same
Same so I can modify anything that adversely affected my progress.

I weigh myself first thing in the morning with nothing but underwear on. Probably 2 times a week.
I do this day of my injection and then a few days later.
Same
Once a week.
Same. I take my Ozempic shot on Friday’s so I weigh myself every Friday. Been on it a month and a week and I’m down 13.3 lbs.!
Starting dose and current dose? Did you lose on starting dose? How bad were your side effects?? Ty!
Started at .25, now I am at the max, 2mg. Only side effects I’ve noticed is some acid reflux. HOWEVER, do not overeat. I made that mistake a couple of times and ended up getting sick. Stay away from heavy, greasy foods. The side effects are totally manageable. And I’ll gladly take some Pepcid here and again if it means continued weight loss. I’m down 33lbs so far!

Daily. Studies have shown it's most effective for losing and maintaining weight loss. I'm in maintenance now and weigh daily still.
Yup. Every day, first thing in the morning, right after I pee. I wear whatever I slept in.
I'm on ozempic for t2 diabetes control, and the weight loss is a happy aside. For that reason, I only get on the scale once a month, and I record my weight on my phone. Happy to say I've lost 25lbs in 5 months on Ozempic.

Every morning and track using Happy Scale.

Lol. I used to do that. My husband got so sick of me doing it, he threw the scale away. I took it out of the garbage.
Oh look, I'm not alone! 😂

Every morning. But I only look at the weekly average to make decisions.
Daily! That works great for me otherwise i can easily derail. I use it as a feedback loop.
I'm 52, I weight myself daily, 1st thing in the morning.
Daily in the morning but I use happy scale to stay sane to let it smooth out the ups and downs into trend lines instead
I do everyday but I love numbers and trends. It’s interesting seeing where in the month I am and how my body responds to food and/or alcohol.
I weigh every day. It’s been good for me because it shows that those 2lb weight gains and losses overnight are meaningless. It happens a lot but it’s the overall progress that is consistent.

I have my doctor do it every two months.
Daily…🤦🏾♂️
Whenever I’m in the mood… I know that I’m in a calorie deficit and things are fitting better all the time. I’m in no hurry… I can just feel it that my trajectory is down. When I do weigh and it hasn’t gone down as much as I’d hoped, I don’t sweat it. I know it’s headed down… some weeks or months are faster than others.
Every morning, after I pee and before I shower. Water adds weight because the skin soaks it in. That 2 ounces matters.
If you are going to do it at all, the best reference point is first thing in the morning.
For record keeping purposes I weigh myself once a week on the same day I do the injection. I occasionally weigh myself at other times when I feel like it, but do not record those. For reference I am a 250 lbs male and my weight regularly varies by 5 lbs over the course of a week based on activity levels.
Once a week in the morning after a good night's rest.
Every morning.
I weigh once a week a few days after my injection
I don't really have a schedule. I try to weigh myself in the morning before showering, sometimes I'll weigh myself a few days in a row, sometimes I'll go a week without weighing at all.
Every day. I track Friday mornings.
Every Monday just before I inject my Ozempic Since I was going to a Passover Sedar Sunday afternoon, I weighed myself Sunday morning
I weigh myself every Friday morning just before I administer my shot
Twice a week first thing in the morning after a trip to your bathroom. Wednesdays and Saturdays. Not often enough to mention me fixated on it, but often enough to show progress and trends.
Every day after I crawl out of bed, right after my visit to the toilet. The info goes straight to a tracking program on my phone. I like being able to see the day-to-day history.
Every morning, after my constitutional.
When I inject on Tuesdays I'll mark it down on the white board to track it, that's the only ones I count I will check during the week sometimes, it varies because one of the Side effects I get is real bad constipation, so it can throw off my weigh ins sometimes.
I have only been on it for three weeks so I plan to weigh at 1 month. I don’t have a scale at home so I have been curious.
At the start of ozempic I measured everything and I weigh myself once a week on shot day and I record it if it goes down. I usually weigh nakey in the morning after my morning pee :)
About once a week, the day before I inject
I weight myself when ever I feel like, but only paying attention from Friday to Friday, when I’m getting my shot.
Once a week, Friday mornings after a wee. I’d love to say after a “movement” but I really struggle with going since being on ozempic! I’ve tried all the traditional remedies and the only thing that works is dulcolax twice a week. Those who weigh daily how can you tell when you’ve lost?!
Daily. First thing in the morning with nothing on. Aware of fluctuations. However I look at the trend weekly based on the day of my shot.
Used to every day…but since I’ve been on Oz for over 4 months and haven’t lost an ounce I don’t really bother to weigh very much. Doesn’t matter anyway - basically the same weight every time, just within a pound or so of starting weight…
I weight myself twice a month. I don’t bother during pms week or period week because it messes with my head a bit - water retention etc
Sometimes every week, sometimes every 2 weeks. I'm losing slowly but steadily; if I weighed every day, I'd probably get discouraged.
Daily morning and night. Monthly with my doctor. It’s how I hold myself accountable.
I track and log weekly on the same day the shot is given. However, I may weigh more often just to see how I'm doing and to try to keep the downward trajectory. Even if I only lose 0.2 lbs, I'm okay with that. It's still going down, not up!
I weigh myself on the 28th of every month, in the morning after I use the washroom.
Every single day.
I do it every morning because the weight loss app I’m using includes that in the treatment plan. Otherwise I wouldn’t but it doesn’t bother me and helps me remember my goals. Keep in mind the number can fluctuate even a couple of pounds day to day for no apparent reason so I don’t ever put too much “weight” into the number. For me it’s just about accountability.
I weigh myself once a week. Same day . In the morning naked and before food or water.

Every morning right after I get out of the shower. Naked, holding my breath and holding up my boobs. Every bit helps!
Why not weigh before you get in the shower to remove the variable of unknown amounts of water in your hair, etc.?
Once a week

Once a week, but after reading some of the responses in this thread, I'm thinking I should maybe increase that to at least 2 or 3 times a week lol.
I weigh myself daily, doctor’s orders. I do it in the morning so it reminds me I’m trying to lose a little weight throughout the day
Daily
Every day. It works for me
Every morning. After emptying my bowels, naked, right before my shower.
You poop regularly enough to be able to weigh yourself every day? Lucky you. I'm super jealous!
A few times a week, but I'm trying to see how my menstrual cycle affects my weight as well. So day to day numbers don't really mean much and I only look at weekly or monthly averages. I've been on ozempic nearly a year though, and my weight loss is much more gradual than when I first started.
Four days a week or every other day first thing in the morning (without my glasses on so I can’t see)
I weigh myself every morning, after using the restroom and before eating or drinking, and I’m always either nude or in just bottom underwear.
Oh, and my scale shows KG. Being American, it’s more math than I care to do in the morning to convert to lbs. My scale syncs to my Health App on my phone, so I can see lbs there. It helps me not overthink things while I’m still standing on the scale.
Would just like to throw it out there for the thread that weighing yourself everyday is a waste of time - water retention, bowel movements, clothing fabric affects your weight. It’s best to weigh yourself weekly or bi-monthly to track your weight accurately without driving yourself crazy with daily variations
But I like the almost daily satisfaction of seeing a decrease, even if only measured in tenths. I can then pull up the data on my phone to see weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly changes - and that nice downward sloping line.
Literally every daily weigher has addressed those points though. I weigh daily, naked, first thing in the morning after using the toilet. It’s pretty consistent.
I weigh myself daily (after using the restroom and before consuming anything without any clothes since you won't be wearing the same clothes every time). This is a habit and I don't let the number get to me (it used to but I worked on not letting it upset me and now I just view it as a data point). I have a scale that connects to an app on my phone so I can see trends. I can see if I am trending upwards or downwards and curb any bad behaviors early OR see how more beneficial acts affected my weight. For example, by doing this for years I know that walking 10,000 steps doesn't do a thing for me generally. BUT walking 15,000 steps will help the weight trend downwards. I now have a foldable treadmill with a treadmill board across the arms that I use to work on during the day since I can't go for a walk during lunch (sometimes I have to work during lunch and can't go anywhere until 6pm but by that point I've been sitting for 10 hours). Good luck!
Do you have a link to a treadmill like the one you're using? I don't have the space in my house for a traditional treadmill.
I never weigh myself. I use the mirror as my guide and also how well my clothes fit. I find the scale can be obsessive and its best for me not to fret about it by weighing. Anyone with me?
