    Hi,

    I weigh every Saturday morning.
    I measure on the first Saturday of the month.
    I take pictures on the first Saturday of every other month.

    I weigh every day. Wake up, pee, weigh.

    I don't get too discouraged with gains so I can handle the ups and downs of weighing daily, as long as I see the overall progress.

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

    I weigh-in every Wednesday morning, my scale measures pounds, body fat, body water and muscle, I write down all the #'s every week so I can see the changes. I have never measured and I just take pictures randomly.

    I weigh every Friday morning.

    I take measurements each time I go down a size in my clothes.

    I take pictures whenever my BF asks for them.

    I weigh in every couple days, but I can normally tell by pics or clothing if I'm on the right track. Muscle is kind of deceiving anyways without calipers or taping.

    I weigh daily, that same ol' wake up, pee, weigh.

    But then I log it in a spreadsheet and FORGET ABOUT IT until Sunday, when all my weights for the week are averaged into one. That way the ups and downs of a given week don't set me off if my day to weigh is the high point. If my trend from week to week is up, I need to change things. If it's down, I keep it the same.

    Pics - don't do them at all unless DH catches me off-guard. I've always hated pics. And for measurements, I go by clothing fit. I know what fit when things were good, and when they got too tight, that was time to get serious again.

    Up until recently, I used to weigh every day after using the bathroom. But I've noticed I've been becoming a little obsessed with what the scale says, so I'm weighing myself twice a week currently (wednesdays and sundays).

    I measure every two weeks, on a saturday.

    Concerning pictures, I'm currently in a dietbet for six months, which means weekly pictures for me. Usually, I take a picture every four weeks, though.

    Every two weeks is the best way to go, I think.

    I weigh in and measure on the 1st and 15th of every month, and I take pics on the 1st. Or I try to, anyway.

    I weigh in daily. I'm maintaining so I haven't taken pics in awhile. I take measurements anytime I feel like my pants are getting a little lose (I've lost about 1.5 inches around my waist in the past 10 months without losing actual scale weight).

    I weigh daily each morning when I get up before showering, but only record on Wednesday. I actually use another app to record my daily weights, but figure my MFP peeps don't want to see me recording my weight each day.

    I measure and take pics on the 10th of each month, the day I started my new journey. And I'm looking forward to sharing all of those when my journey changes from losing to maintenance this fall. :-)

    It's nice to see how different everyone is with weighing / measuring / tracking!

    I think everyone is a little different with the weight ins and other measurements.

    Right now I weigh myself everyday but I only worry about the ones I do Sunday mornings after waking up. I also have a Weight Watchers WW52 Glass Body Fat Scale that measures wieght, bone density, body fat, and calcualtes the BMI for you. I just started tracking the body fat precentage on here too.

    I need to do measurements too but I haven't started them yet.

    Usually on Sunday morning.
    I never take pics unless I'm willing to change my profile picture on here and feel inspired. I only take my measurements every now and then when I think I've lost enough cms. (Usually if I've at least lost 2 kgs since the last measurement. But I can also not take them for months)

    I do a progress check-in with my lifting coach every two weeks on Fridays. During a weigh-in week, I weigh every day and take an average of those figures to give him, along with my measurements. Once a month, I take pics. I do not weigh at all during non weigh-in weeks unless I'm just curious.

    I weigh Every. Single. Day.

    I take measurements and pics randomly.

    I weigh every day but it's just for my information. I record my weight when I have lost weight which is usually every 3-4 days. This works for me so I will not slip back into old habits and will catch weight gain in the future before it gets too high. I do not take measurements because my pants have dropped several sizes and that is my guide.

    I weigh most days, pics on the 1st of the month, measurements after I complete a 5 week cycle of All Pros (resistance training program).

    I weigh myself just about daily... it depends. But I only log it in on Wednesday.

    I think that daily weigh ins give me an idea of how different factors affect me and how quickly... TOM, salty meal, alcohol. :tongue:

    I like Wednesday because if I indulge a bit over the weekend (not too nutty), it gives me a couple of days to recoup!

    Friday morning, but if I notice a difference (hey, my underpants fit better! etc.), I'll weigh then.

    I record my weight on Thursdays and consider it my "official" day, but I also weigh in Monday morning and other random times through out the week to see how my weight fluctuates. I took pictures at my heaviest weight 176 (this go around, I've been heavier in the past) and haven't taken any other progress pictures. I've lost close to 18 lbs, hoping that number will be higher come Thursday!

    Thursday works for me because I eat at TDEE+ Sat and Sun, so I am always retaining water Monday morning.
