    I weigh myself almost daily. It was hard, at first, but over time, you SEE your weight fluctuating and find your pattern and learn to know what's normal and what isn't. A lot of people can't handle weighing daily because of the normal weight fluctuations. I find it's helpful in gaining a better understanding of the process.

    I weigh myself weekly, first thing in the morning with no clothes on. :smile:

    Daily, every morning before I eat or drink. The fluctuations are there, but so is the trend. It's working well so far.

    Well...I'm supposed to weigh once a week (I chose Fridays). That being said, I step on that damn thing at least 4 times a day. Why? I have no idea...it's not like it's going to drop pounds in a couple hours. Well...once it did, but that's because there was a sock stuck underneath a corner of it and it threw it off.

    I don't own a scale, so I only weigh when I'm at my friend's house. Usually about once a week. I'm glad I don't have a scale; it helps keep me from compulsive checking. I haven't taken any measurements; I let the way my clothing fits be my size indicator.

    I weigh myself daily, but only record my weight weekly (every Saturday). I have been taking measurements every 2 weeks. :smile:

    It varies. I'll go through phases of weighing daily, other times I'll do it once a week. No set time.

    I weigh daily, but I don't recommend it for everybody. Sometimes the normal daily fluctuations can be upsetting.

    How often does everyone weigh in? Daily? Weekly? Every few days?

    I used to weigh weekly. I am changing it to monthly for the first time today.

    Once a week i weight myself and have my body fat % measured at the gym and record it in a journal. I use the amount of fat loss for the week more then any of the other numbers.

    Sometimes I weigh myself twice a day. Sometimes not for a few days. Sometimes I don't want to look. Sometimes once a day. But always at the same time every week to record my weight loss.

    I just like to watch the fluctuations and trends so that if it's high on my weigh in day I might be able to tell if it's from hormones, salt, etc.

    Daily. In the morning, after I workout, before any food or water has been consumed.

    Sometimes I'll do it in the evening, just because I'm curious about how much water weight I gain in a day. But the one I go by is Monday.

    I like to see the trends. I also like to see what foods cause me to retain water. Like I ate some popcorn on Monday, and it was so salty, I was only able to get through half of the bag. I gained about 2 pounds in water weight and it took about 2 days to go away. I like to know these things.

    But that's just me.

    Daily weigh ins do not bother me. It's not for everyone. It takes a lot to get me down, so even if I see the scale go up, I know I just need to make adjustments. No biggie.
