Hi everybody, I am new here, and this is my 3rd day!

I don't have a huge amount to lose, but just wondering how often you weigh in? Daily, weekly?

    I think weighing in weekly is the best. :) Because daily, your weight can go up and down.

    They say you should weigh in once a week, but I weigh in every day. I don't mind the fluctuation and it helps me keep my goal front of mind. Do what works for you. If daily weigh ins would make you crazy, then by all means go longer between each one. Good luck!

    I usually end up weighing everyday but I do an official weigh-in every week.

    I weigh myself everyday because it keeps me on track too. I also read in a fitness mag. that there was a research study that found alot of people actually did better loosing weight weighing themselfs everyday because it motivated them to try harder. That definitly runs through my head when I weigh myself everyday. Everyone is different though.

    I'm a firm believer in weighing in every day. I lose at a much faster rate weighing in each day as it helps me to make better decisions since I know that the next day I will have to get on the scale. I don't worry at all about the day to day fluctuations but I make sure that from one week to the next (Thursdays) that my weight is going in the right direction. That said, do whatever you think you can sustain over a long period of time.

    I weigh myself daily just because the scale is right next to the shower, so curiosity gets the best of me most mornings. I only 'count' my weigh in once a week for tracking purposes.

    I weigh myself daily and keep track of any fluctuation more than 1/2 pound with an app on my ipod. I only record my weight here when I've lost some, lol

    Yep, I have to agree with the every dayers though I don't record every day
