    I weight myself once a week, the same day, around the same time (within the same hour) and I do this to make myself accountable for the week. If I gain then I work harder the coming week and look at my food intake and what I can change.

    I weigh myself every other morning after I'm awake and empty my bladder.

    every morning! like many of the other posters it just reminds me why I'm doing this and keeps me on track.. But I only "count" my weigh in on Tuesday mornings... it can be tempting when Monday is a great number to use it, but I refuse to log it unless it happens on Tuesday!

    I tend to take a peek at the scale every morning but I don't consider it an "official" weigh-in until I hit the scale on Friday mornings.

    I've been weighing myself everyday since I officially decided I'm in maintenance mode. Plus, now that I have a scale at home and don't rely on the one at the gym -- I've learned a lot about how my weight fluctuates each day. I'm heavier in the morning than I am at night. I can gain/lose 5lbs through the day. As long as I'm in the 148-153lbs range -- I'm happy.

    I measured myself last night for the first time in a year. I need to do that more often too. Now that I have a new place to start, I'm going to try and do it once a month or every 6 weeks.

    I weigh pretty much every morning first thing and then at night before bed to see how much I fluctuate. Before mfp I would fluctuate up to 6 lbs in a day but since starting this journey I only fluctuate 1-2 lbs in a day. I like to keep an eye on my daily progress and make adjustments as needed. I only record my weight once a week though and that is normally on Fridays.

    I weigh daily - first thing in the mornings; but put my weight in when it looks good. Measuring I have only done once a week.

    I weigh in every morning, that helps me to see, if I'm doing right with my eating and excercises.

    Wow, more people weigh daily than I thought. I weigh daily when I can, always first thing in the morning. I either take my measurements every week or every other week; it just kind of depends. I just find it a little depressing if I gain any weight...although I do know that when you weigh every day that's pretty much inevitable... :frown:
