    First thing in the morning. I only record the lowest weigh in any given day.

    I weigh in every day and record it. Track trends, not weight loss. My weekday weigh ins tend to be a couple pounds higher because I weigh in at the gym in the afternoons after school and I've already consumed a lot of food/water. I do an "official" weigh in on Sunday mornings - I wake up and go straight to my gym to weigh (it's really close), that one is usually the lowest.

    Don't get discouraged by fluctuations, they are normal, track trends. I bloated up after working some construction and lifting on the same day 2 days last week, and I knew it before I stepped on the scale. I was a full 4lbs heavier than I was that Sunday, and 3 days later on the next Sunday I had dropped a 6.5lbs. Today I was up 1.5 from that. Those are all perfectly normal fluctuations.

    Friday mornings when I think about it, or every few weeks. NOTHING changes daily that means anything in the long run.

    I don't. I go by the way my clothes fit.

    Rarely. If I feel like I've gained weight I'll check then. Otherwise it's super random.

    Depends on how well I'm doing sticking to my calories. If things are going well, every day or every other day. If not, maybe once a month.

    Whenever I come across a scale. I don't own one and I measure progress on how my clothes fit and more so how I feel. It is more about vitality than it is about a number for me.

    A few times a week, but only record it once (on Saturday morning)

    I used to weigh every day but then someone put the scale in the cupboard and retrieving it doesn’t cater to my lizard brain so it’s been a few months now.

    Friday mornings after I shower. Then if I overdo it on the weekend, which is highly likely, I have time to get back on track b4 the next weigh in.

    Morning and night, every day if I can.
    I like to see the fluctuations, it's a good perspective for me.

    I also like to weigh in at the beginning and then end of a training session just to see how much sweat I've lost. My record is almost 3lbs. That's F'n gross haha.

    Daily.

    I used to do it daily and then record an average for the week, but now I use an app for trending and stuff so basically... yeah, daily. I'm curious like that and I like to know my fluctuations.
