    Daily, and I record it Daily. I view MFP as a day-to-day program, and every day is a new start, so I weigh every day (good or bad!) and let me tell you, some times I know I gained, and it is hard to get on the scale, but those are the most important days to do it, so that I can get back on track!

    Every morning and every night. My diet is so regular right now that based on the nightly scale I pretty much know what I'll be in ther morning (usually drops by about 1 kg).

    Every. Dang. Day.

    Sometimes - I don't trust the number - so I step on 2 or 3 more times.

    Ha!!! I weigh myself every time I walk into my closet. I'm completely obsessive about it - it's ridiculous actually. Not that the scale changes all that much if I pee or blow dry my hair or eat. I LOG IN the weight on Monday morning though - it fluctuates too much during the day for me to take it too seriously.

    But if you weighed yourself everyday, wouldn't you get discouraged if say you gained a couple of pounds? Especially when on days when you thought you had exceptionally well only to find out you hadn't? Just wondering.

    Once a week. Less than that and I am too lenient on myself (skipping workouts, not tracking meals, etc...). More than that and I get obsessive about it (weighing myself 5-6 times a day and freaking out over the slightest change).

    And, I'm STILL not OCD. But, I did have to sort my M&Ms into colors before I ate them (back when I ate them). :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

    That's not normal? I could have sworn that was normal!

    Ditto! It's so annoying to see a different number pop up everytime you step on!!

    Every morning now that I bought a new scale. Talk about a blow to your physchy when you step on the scale and it dies. Mine got played on by too many kids repeatedly wanting to know if they'd grown yet. Need it to stay on track.

    Every morning when I wake up. I use the hacker's diet website to track the trend, and have an excel spreadsheet.

    Twice a week. On Monday so I can see if there are any consequences from my cheat meal. And Friday so I can see if my week of workouts paid off.

    Currently, every few weeks.

    I used to do it Saturday mornings.

    If I did daily, the fluctuation would be pretty discouraging, but I found once a week a more realiable/accurate measurement.

    Once a week, same day, try to do it same time. Also I weight in every time I go to the nutritionist or WLS doctor. When I first started going to the doctor, I wasn't permitted to weight myself at home at all. The scale number is not supposed to be as important as learning to pursue my nutritional and exercise goals. Your weight can fluctuate as much as 8-10 pounds per day and it will drive you nuts if you weight yourself daily.

    Every morning, I couldn't go all week not knowing whether I was on track or not.

    I personally weight myself WAY too much. Probably around three times a day (once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once at night). It sounds weird but it's like my way of trying to see how my body changes throughout the day...

    And it's totally hypocritical, I know it's best to weigh yourself once or twice a week, it's probably just my way of being scared that I will gain weight over the course of a week without realizing it haha.
