    I actually weigh just about every morning. That way if I am getting off track, I can tell early on. When doing this I have to remember that weight does go up and down a couple of pounds with water weight and then I don't freak over a little gain as it is usually gone the next morning.

    Weekly will keep you from pulling your hair out, since your body will regularly change due to water weight among other things.

    While weighing on a scale is a way to keep track of the fat you've lost, I recommend using measuring tape instead. Keep track of measurements around the hips, waist, chest, neck, thigh, and bicep monthly. That is what people see, not a bunch of numbers over your head. ;)

    I like your method, I might just try that this week.

    Once a week, early in the morning before eating and after my potty break.

    Great suggestion, I think I will still weigh in but add the tape measure. I tend to gain weight around my waist so seeing that number go down would be fantastic.

    I officially weigh in twice a week Monday morning and Friday morning but I jump on the scale every morning as soon as I get up and right before I go to bed. I have found that I weigh 2-4 pounds more before bed than I do when I wake up. I also like to look for spikes during the week.

    Unless you can mentally disregard and not fret over daily fluctuation DO NOT do it daily or you will drive yourself crazy.

    I also hate to admit it but I like to weigh myself right before and after a nice poop just for fun and laughs. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    every day.

    knowledge is power.

    And the geek in me likes lots of data points (they make for pretty graphs)

    This is exactly me!

    This is me too. Graphs are my buddies! Lol

    I am now of the mindset daily weighing is appropriate. if you weigh once a week, you may just happen to weigh on a water retention day. If you weigh daily you can see the trends and fluctuations a bit more accurately.

    It's FASCINATING to see how much weight you can lose by pooping. LOL
