    I weigh myself twice a week. Once on Thursday before all my bad habits of the weekends are initiated and again on Monday to see the damage I've done from my weekend of drinking & eating at restaurants. Helps me realize how much I should be limiting my bad habits.

    I used to be like that. I'd step on the scale at least 3 times a week. But I've cut it down a lot. I only get on 1 time a week now.

    Every morning about 5 mins after I wake up completely naked. I've read in some of these posts that if they weigh daily it makes them obsessed. I am a person who NEEDS to be obsessed in order to make this work for me.

    Daily (usually) but I use once a week for logging it, when actively trying to lose a few lbs. Same day each week.

    My husband and oldest daughter weigh themselves every day and it drives me nuts! You can retain fluid one day, making it look like you've gained weight, not lost! I weigh myself once a week but am considering going to every other week so that I can (hopefully) see real progress. :)

    I am going to do it once a week. and also my measurments. that way i wont get discouraged. I use to do it daily but it was never constant and when I'd gain a lb or 2 id just quit and give up so this is my 2nd day on this site and its a good way to log your work. i think;) Just do what you feel comfortable doing=]

    Once a week. Sunday mornings - get up, go to the bathroom, weigh and measure.

    This week I will have an additional as I have to go into the hospital for testing and I need to weigh at the hospital before I'm admitted.

    All depends, I used to do daily and I got so pissed off. So I opted for once a week, and I seem to do fine.

    Same here, I started to weight myself once a week instead of once-twice a day how I used to. I exercise 6 times per week and my weight fluctuates so much that it used to get me insane and start crazy diets. My husband told me he would throw away the scale because he saw how sad I was. When you exercise you should not weight yourself daily as some people put muscles faster than they lose fat and the number on the scale goes up.The BF% is the most important and not the number on the scale unless you are overweight. Since I have made peace with the scale, I weight myself once a week.

    I highly recommend you weigh yourself once per week, at the same time and scale. You'll definitely see which way you are going!

    Two times a month. One week before my TOM and one week after my TOM. I love to see how different those two numbers can be. Female physiology is fascinating.
