    max, once a month. Since I tend to do 3 month programs, I usually way myself once every 3 months. (before and after) Though I will say, weight doesn't say much. take pictures and measurements instead they tell a much better story!

    Everyday, sometimes twice a day... especially after a good long run/workout I like to see that number drop!

    Measure weekly. Weigh every month to two months.

    we do a weekly weigh in at work... keep our self accountable wens. at 8am we all go in a group.

    Ya, I lost 30 pounds through at work competitions. We weighed once per week and kicked in $5, and the person who had lost the biggest percentage of weight at the end of an arbitrary period (may have been two months) won the kitty. I came in second and third, but that's fine.

    Knowing other people would see my number helped motivate me.

    Twice per day: once in the morning before I get dressed and once before I go to bed. I have 150 lbs to lose and like to see how my behavior (diet and exercise) impacts my weight. I don't recommend that everyone does this but it motivates me.

    My official weigh in is weekly, on Tuesdays.

    I weigh myself about once a week usually on Mondays just after my shower and before getting dressed.

    Every 2 weeks, with measurements done once a month.

    Since I'm actively working to lose weight, I weigh daily in the morning after my morning business and before eating. I keep a clipboard on the wall near the scale and I note the number. I like data and I'm not bothered by fluctuations, since I'm more interested in the trendline. More data points give a better trendline to analyze.

    I'm also doing an experiment by recording my evening weight before bed. I'm trying to see if there is any correlation to be made between the overnight change and diet. I figure I'll keep this up for two months total for enough data to work with, then go back to keeping only my morning weight.

    Once a day, first thing in the morning after my morning wee.
    But I do have another weight app which estimates my timeframe based on trends and I log that every Monday Morning at the same time as I log onto the Drop 20 by July 4th Group

    I'm back to only weighing in once a month. From May '14 to Jan'15 I did once a month at my drs office. From Jan-May I bought a scale and weighed in whenever I felt like it. It messed with my head. So I'm going back to once a month.
