    On good days, once.
    On bad days twelve thousand, because obviously there is something wrong with the scale.

    LOL! Love this! ^^^^^

    I'm once week, Wednesdays. I don't have a scale (I would be on it a couple hundred times a day if I did own one) but I do use my wii fitplus. I found that is it is really accurate with the scale at the doctors office.

    I use to weigh every day and even though I know in my head that weight fluctuates I was hindering me. I now weigh in only on Friday morning before my workout. On some weeks I will weigh on Monday if I know I had a bad weekend.

    Once a week in the morning before I eat anything.

    I know weighing yourself is an individual thing, I am just curious as to how often people weight themselves... I heard it is not good to weigh yourself daily as you go up and down... once a week?

    I don't own a scale so I weight myself every couple of weeks when I go visit my mom...

    I NOW weigh Myself maybe every 2 months. I do this because I realized and accepted that weight loss is secondary to changing My Lifestyle around food. I also accepted that there is NO wt loss if I don't focus on what I eat, if I get that right, wt loss and maintenance is a Natural RESULT (of GOOD Eating Habits). So My focus is totally on What I eat, how it is prepared and Serving Size. This way I keep it simple and focused; also, I only have ONE goal around wt loss and it is a Range where I want to maintain the rest of My Life. When I get there is up to My Body, as I focus on eating right, a moderate exercise routine, and a Full Life of activities I enjoy doing>>>LIVING.

    I have been where a scale dictated how I felt for a day or week... I could wake up feeling SUPER, and get on the scale and be 1 lb. over what I weighed the prior week, and ALL of My joy would go, for the whole day and week. And actually, it took My motivation and most times I would say the heck with it>>>THAT gave Me an EXCUSE to OVER EAT! NO MORE, NEVER AGAIN!

    HEALTHY means WAYYYY more than a number on a scale. Everyone has to come to their own conclusions. I'm a HAPPY Camper NOW...My Focus is on LIFESTYLE = Working on The Fruit of The Spirit, Physical Health, Career and Social Goals.

    I weigh myself every morning and log it in my notes. For me it is helpful to see the ebbs and flows day to day and find it a lot less frustrating then once a week. I only "check-in" my weight on MFP once a week.

    I weighed morning and evening when cut carbs and went gluten free just to see how much difference it made to fluctuating water weight and it only changed by 1 lb a day instead of 3-5 lbs.

    At minute I have two weigh in's, saturday and wednesday for different challenges, once I get to target weight I'll probably just check it hasn't gone up too much once a week.

    All the time! Daily! Pretty much every time I walk into the bathroom where the scale is! It's a terrible habit BUT I do know what to expect now. Up during the day and then back down a few lbs by morning...I can usually tell where I'll be in the morning based on what the scale says before bedtime.

    Officially though...I log it once a week.
