    I weigh almost every morning after I get up... but I only record my weight every now and then. I usually record it when I have a consistent number 2-3 days in a row, since your weight fluctuates every day. If my weight has gone downand is consistent for a few days in a row then I know its actually gone gone... not just water weight:-) Then I record... or if it is consistent and has gone up, either way, a few consistent readings is a weigh in. I'm a little addicted. I just bought a new scale off of Amazon. Its a digital from EatSmart. Love it!

    I weigh in and record my weight every morning after using the rest room and before eating breakfast / working out. I find my weight goes down every day - usually by about 0.2 kg - and I am losing around a kg a week. I find by doing this I can see a pattern of weight loss on the MFP graphs and I can compare any fluctuations to what I ate around that time, or when I might have skipped a work out. It helps me to understand what the results are going to be from my actions. I know most people say dont weigh more than once a week but I think it helps motivate me - plus I have just started using a tape measure - I think I will do that once a week :-) I also use digital scales - I find they are a bit more accurate. Good luck with your weight loss :-)

    I weigh normally every Wednesday (why Wednesday? I'm not sure why - recover from weekend slips, maybe? :P )
    Sometimes I will do a mid-week check though. I use a regular dial scale - it works!
