    Right after I throw it. Just to make sure it is still working.

    Maybe once a week, but only for my heart rate monitor so I can get as accurate of a reading as possible. As for seeing my progress, I prefer measuring myself, as weight fluctuates a lot depending on what you consume.

    Sorry to say, every day. Just got into a habit of weighing myself daily and can't get away from it. I know how weight fluctuates daily, but I would rather know than not know. It works for me.

    Every morning and I keep a spreadsheet so I can see what food/exercise works best for me and watch the fluctuations. I log on here when I see a new number (down) on the scale.

    Nearly never. Once a month maybe. I rather go on how I look,and stuff fits then the scale number, the scale just discourages me. If I look at the scale to much it makes me get off track because I feel like it should be lower, then I end up being bad for a few days. :cry:

    Its just what works for me though.

    Every day in the morning. Not checking my weight for over 2 years has brought me here after all. But I check in my weight into the system to track progress once per week usually; on Saturdays or Sundays.

    This is what I do as well. I also measure once a week.

    I haven't had a working scale in months. My full-length mirror tells me everything I need to know while I'm waiting for my shower to get nice and toasty :)

    Everyday morning. I'm not bothered by the ups and downs.

    I track weight and measurements every Friday morning for MFP purposes.

    Every morning - because this is a battle in case you all had forgotten - and I check once a week for the recorded weight. I find knowing every day keeps me focussed. 59lbs lost in 104 days. Hodgie x

    Every three days or so to avoid being disheartened by water weight fluctuations. I want to weigh myself every day, but I resist mightily.

    I check every day to make sure mine is still under the bed where it belongs!:happy:


    LMAO!




    I usually try not to look too often, I don't want to become obsessed with it!
    so I weigh in a log on a friday! I may check tuesday/wednesday to make sure i'm on track but usually just the once!

    also make sure you weigh yourself first thing in the morning and at the same time everytime! it's better!:)

    Once a week. Any more times than that and I become obsessive I am trying to keep off the unhealthy thoughts and behaviours that got me into a bad place last time

    For seeing what my weight is: every morning after using the toilet.

    To see if it needs an extra blanket: every night before bed.

    Every morning right after I go to the bathroom. I only log it once a week though.

    I check the scale every morning right after I wake up and before I eat or drink anything. :) (And after I use the toilet of course).
