    First thing in morning. Monday-Friday. I don't weight myself too much on weekend. My whole system is off. :\

    Never. I never weight myself. I used to be anorexic when I was younger and have a phobia of scales. I´m afraid that weghting myself could make me relapse or get depressed. I measure my progress by measuring my waist and hips.

    Every Friday, naked and after I've gone to the bathroom.

    I weigh myself every day but I have a 5-10 lb fluctuation every week even though I pretty much always eat the same things. I don't really put too much stock in the scale. I rely more on BF testing and how my clothes fit. I have a lot of muscle (I'm a powerlifter) so my BMI says I'm overweight, but my BF tests say I'm in the optimal range for a woman of my age...so I don't let the scale tell me much about myself. It's more of a habit than anything.

    I weigh myself every Sunday morning before I eat or drink anything, and after using the bathroom. I weigh myself without clothing. During the week I may weigh myself just to see how I'm doing. But I try to avoid doing that.

    Every two weeks on the Sunday after the bathroom, without clothing for most accurate results for me :)

    Daily. Obviously, it fluctuates, but if I see it creeping up, time to start hitting it hard again.

    Same. Weight varies so much day-to-day that I like to average it once a week for accuracy. If I just weigh myself once a week, I don't know if it's an uptick, a downtick or average.

    Once or twice a month, usually on a Saturday, after my workout. A little more if I'm doing a personal challenge. I started focusing more on the inches and less on the pounds. Took a bunch of stress away.

    Completely random. I'll go for a week without weighing and then the next week I'll find myself weighing morning and lunch (there's a scale at the gym. I know, I know, stick to one scale).

    BUT I only record my weight on MFP if 1) it's a new low (I hate getting "congrats" over and over for the same pound I seem to lose) or 2) if I've consistently been at least 5lbs over for say... a coupe of months.

    I went from weighing myself everyday to twice a week to just not doing it at all for the time being. I was getting a little obsessive. I think I'll do it once every two weeks.

    I weigh myself once a week. Every Monday before I get ready for work. It's the same time, same day and it's been working! Good Luck on your journey!!!
