    I was weighing myself everyday. I think I'm going to change it to once a week. It seems more reasonable. I've lost 4 pounds, not trying to lose much more than that. Just trying to maintain a healthy life and not let my weight slowly creep up on me.

    I used to weigh myself every day, but I found that it put too much mental stress on me if I gained back a few ounces or a pound even though I knew it was only water weight. I'm now challenging myself to only weigh in once a week and see how that works out for me. I log my new weight when I'm sure it will stick (usually after a week or so at that weight, or a little below). For example, if I hit 129.5 one day and the rest of the week was a pretty stable 130, I would enter my weight as 130.

    Normally I weigh myself everyday. I know there are fluctuations so I don't freak out if there is a gain of anything under a pound. But is really is a motivation to me when I see the scale lower each morning...if only by .1lbs and it helps me keep on track if I end up seeing a slight gain. Just a way that I like to keep myself on track!

    I weigh once a day, just to keep from missing a trend, and log it once a week..
    Closer to goal weight, I will probably not check or log as often.

    I weigh every morning, first thing. I'm logging all my metrics on a daily basis to see how the exercise, diet, weight and body fat metrics all inter-relate. I'm down about 18 lbs since Sept, on a pretty steady 1.1 lbs per week schedule. It's all going according to plan.

    I notice that I'll fluxuate upwards 2-3 lbs during the week due to water retention from my strength and climbing training, but then the lows each week are reliably 1 - 1.5 lbs lower than the previous.

    So far all the theory is validated out by the data.

    Every morning between the hourse of 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. I've tried breaking the habit and only weighing 1 x per week, and I just can't do it.

    I check my weight every day. I only log it on MFP when I go below my last weight. I've been staying in the same 4 pounds since I started a month ago. I'm ready to pull my hair out.

    I felt that way, a few pounds ago I kept loosing a pound but the next day I was right back at the same weight I was wanting to break the scale! lol Give it time, you can do it!

    I weigh in once a week. I have lost 147 lbs so far, with only 10 more to go. I will be weighing in 2x this week though since I want to weigh in on the 31st as my final 2011 check in.....and then base my goals for 2012 from there!!

    I weigh myself everyday to maintain my weight...if I don't I tend to forget about my weight and gain weight little by little.
