How Often do you Weight Yourself?

I HATE the weighing thing but its nice to see the scale reversing... I do once a week first thing on the same day.
Its nice to see results.

what works for me is weighing every morning. If I get a good result, it motivates me, if I get a bad result, it motivates me more.

same here

Plus it allows me to see where I may have gone "wrong" by looking at the journal for the day before

Every single day. It helps keep me on track. I don't obsess over the number, but it's usually enough to make me think "well, I guess I shouldn't have had X, oh well, new day, let's get a lower number tomorrow"

that's a good attitude to have, but most people don't see it that way, and when they see it go up a pound or two due to normal fluctuations and sometimes scale inaccuracy they totally freak out and then give up on it all

I weigh first thing out of bed every morning, but I also don't worry over an increase (told myself I would not obsess over an increase unless it was more than 4 pounds, because regular female hormones and water can do that from one day to the next). I am looking at the overall graph, as long as the general movement is downward, I consider it good.

eta: if my weight goes up, I pull out my tape measure and check with it (female bloating can still cause fluctuations there too but they should not be much, maybe 1/4 inch?)

I'm weighing daily but only log weekly and measure every-other week.

I have to agree. I weigh myself every day and log only once a week.
