How often do you weigh in?

i weight myself daily but only have mondays as my official log in day!

Me too, but I count Friday's as my official day.

I try to remember to do it daily, but I'm maintaining so it's just to make sure I'm on a normal fluctuation and not accidentally eating too much.

I always forget though so it ends up being 4~ times a week.

once a week

I'm streaky about this, but generally daily, first thing in the a.m. naked. lolz

Weekly - same day, same time....ie first thing in the morning. Its the best way to be accurate. Daily weight fluctuates too much.

I weigh in everyday so I can see how my exercise and eating effects my weight but I log on the same day every week to record on mfp. So Tuesday will be my first weigh in.

I weigh in daily but with ZERO drama.
It's just a number, and I see these weekly weigh-ins as foolish.
There is never any virtue in not knowing your weight when you are trying to lose.
I recommend tracking weight trends over weeks into your program just to gauge progress.

Too often people get stressed over a fluctuation or under pressure to fast or sweat water before the dreaded weekly weight in.
That's just absurd.
It's just a number.

And we should all be tracking bodyfat as well.

Remember, you rule the numbers - not the other way around.

Every 20 minutes.

I can't stop myself from getting on the scale every day, but I only record my weight once a week. It keeps me from getting too obsessed with daily fluctuations.

I weigh in every morning when I get up and log it. My month long graph looks like a saw blade at a 45 degree angle. Up down up down up down... but the overall trend is down.

I agree about the fluctuations, but the daily weigh in helps in watching the trend and and staying on track, for me anyways.

Also, my weigh in process is the exact same every day - I wake up, go pee, and then step on the scale. I find it to be most consistant this way.

I weigh every day at the gym and log it in another app. Here I save for my official weigh-in at the doctor's, which is once a week.

I weigh myself every morning after I've gone to the bathroom and in whatever I've slept in, which is usually a t-shirt and underpants. I log it every day. I have a digital scale that goes to the tenths place, and I like to see the ounces coming down. I don't usually sweat the pounds until I've gone up a pound. Any gain is motivation to work harder, or if I've skipped a workout, reason to not skip that day.

I like knowing that even small progress, on the report graph, is still progress. Its also helping me see how having a cold is effecting my weight loss. (For those curious, its slowing it WAY down.) For a few days I was losing a half a pound a day, and it was freaking me out, but the daily weigh ins have helped to to wrap my head around the idea that yes, I am losing weight. (Unfortunately, the cold has helped me put some of that back on. :grumble: )

Pretty much every morning.

Weigh in every morning to make sure everything is on the up and up, but it only counts as my 'official' weigh in on Fridays.

I weigh in daily because I like getting a stamp on my calendar from doing the body test on WiiFit. Each month I choose a new stamp - hearts for February! But I try not to stress when it goes up because I know it'll go back down. I only record losses on my app and only after they're consistent, i.e. several days in a row at a weight.

woou

about once a week for the group challenge that i'm in.
