everyday in the morning after i go to the ladies room in nothing but underwear! or less
but I only log it on Fridays! keeps me accountable and gives me that extra push to eat a little better today or work out a little harder.

I believe it's the National Weight Control Registry has determined that people who weigh themselves daily, exercise 60 minutes a day (walking is the most common form) and eat breakfast lose their desired weight and keep it off. I do it every day first thing in the morning.0

Sometimes I weigh every few days if I'm not feeling motivated. But I only record my weigh-ins on Wednesdays.
If weighing in everyday keeps you focused, then do it. But if you fret about ever slight (like .2) fluctuation, then you might need to dial it down.0 -
Friday morning after the bathroom, before breakfast and naked!
same here0 -
Once a week. If you can do it every day without getting upset by fluctations, that's great, but there's no way I can do that. I know no matter how logical I'd try to be about it, the numbers would get to me. So I just do it once a week and so far it's working for me. I think it gives me a much better sense of my over all progress and keeps me from getting too obsessed with weight loss.0

New to this site so just wondering.....if you are a daily weigh-in person (like me) can you log your weight in everyday or does the site only allow once per week?0

I weigh myself daily and try not to let those "little gains" that can happen to us women get to me. We all have those fluctuations, and they can drive you insane!0

I weigh daily but my "official" weigh in is Friday morning when I wake up. I like to keep an eye on the scale daily and try to figure out the reason behind the fluctuations (sodium, lack of exercise, ...).0

I weigh myself each morning in my birthday suit... after I potty, just before I step into the shower! That way I can go back and see how my day to day eating is making the scale move!0

this... except every day. lol.. i am the same way, if i don't do it every day i think about it too much- and then i get unfocused. some people may disagree but i'm not telling them to do it... i think it depends on you. personal choice.0 -

I am fanatical..I weigh myself I every time I use the washroom at home. I dont rely on that, I "count" my weight once a week, pick a day and weigh in the same time that day every week and THAT is what I record.0

I weight every morning after bathroom and before breakfast. I only post what I weigh once a week. I like seeing what I'm doing each day.0

Weighing everyday really screws me up the numbers go up and
down so much! I try to weigh Wed mornings when i wake up
(after bathroom) I do check more than i should during the week but
I only count Wed mornings0 -
Never. I weighed myself when I started to determine calorie level but I don't check up on myself. I know when I lose weight because I can see it and feel it in the fit of my clothes. I think a lot of people put waaaaay to much value into that number on the scale (ie. I weighed 150 yesterday but 153 today! How could I gain three lbs??). Numbers don't matter! How you feel and look matters!0

I know i should weigh my self everyday as it is not good. You can go up or down a pound in day but really only the weekly weight should count. I have chosen every friday morning after pee break and in my undies...hope this helps!0
-
I weigh everyday in the morning but log it once a week... I have to see what works or not for meals so I can limit myself....0
-
Exact same here! I weigh every day to keep myself focused. I've learned not to let a couple-pound difference from day to day bring me down...just as long as I don't gain a couple pounds every day!!0
