    Your weight fluctuates from day to day and throughout the day. Twice a week is good for me - Mondays and Fridays. Always in the morning, and always in my pj's. The scale lies, and a tape measure is accurate. :smile:

    I weigh in every Monday morning and it helps me keep on track if what I did last week worked for me or not. When I dont lose I think Hmm, ok I can take out this or that out and if I lose I say, Ok I got this and Im doing good :) It just depends on the person though because sometimes people get discouraged if they dont see a change in weight and give up and believe that they cant loose weight. But give it a try and if its not for you then do it once a month or twice a month :) Good Luck!!

    I am terrible, I get on the scales every morning. I know this is the worst way to do it but it is such a hard habit to break. I only record my weight once or twice a week on here though.

    I stick to once a week, at the weekend on whichever morning I've not been drinking the night before!

    At the moment I'm neurotically weighting myself twice a day - But I think that's why I didn't lose anything last week. I think I was demotivated as I kept going up and down by a pound; I even weighed myself before getting in the shower and then again 45 minutes later and I'd gone down by a pound and a half after! I probably do expect too much too soon, so I think I'll restrict myself to maybe twice a week at most from now on.

    Also for the ladies out there - do you weigh yourself when your having your TOM, or not? Do you find it gives inaccurate readings? I'm wondering if that's part of the problem too!
