    My official weigh-in is every morning, but I also weigh at night...I don't know why though! It doesn't get me down if the numbers are up one day...it actually motivates me to have a really good day to see a different result the next day! At the same time, if the number is down, I feel great & want to keep at it the next day. So no matter what the result, it is motivating for me!

    While I was losing I weighed on the first day of each month. Once I hit goal, I weighed every Friday and that's where I am right now, every Friday. Any more than that could just be obsessing.

    I weigh myself twice a week. Every friday for myself and every monday morning for a weight loss group i am on facebook.

    Good luck:-)
  • I do it several times a day, also.

    Wayyyyyyyyyy too often!

    Normal is probably once a day??

    Once a week, although I'm thinking about less often. I get too hung up on scale weight. I was bummed a couple of weeks ago when I'd gained 2 pounds (out of town weekend), although I'd lost an inch off my chest, 2 inches off my waist, and 1 off my hips. I'm thinking about weighing once a month and using measurements and clothing fit more. Thinking about it, anyway.

    I don't even have a scale at our house! I weigh once a month. I have lost weight before and I know that I tend to get way too focused on the number on the scale and am capable of sabotaging myself. So, this time I decided to try something different. I weigh once a month at my in-law's house and record it on here. I can tell from my clothes that I'm losing weight, so for now, this is the best way for me. I'm due to weigh again a week from today and so far I've lost about 10 pounds a month.

    if you are going to do it once a day, it's best to do it in the morning. you will weigh less.
    i am trying to not do it everyday but i must admit i have been lately. it's best to do it once a week is what i've heard. if you're working really hard and staying on track with diet, once a week is good. but i don't do it that infrequently. i need to follow my own advice.
