    Once a month after my period first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. I want to wring every ounce of excess water out of me! LOL

    Used to weigh myself twice a day: when I got up, and when I went to bed. Now I threw out my scale. I only know how much I weigh when I go visit my specialist, every 4-5 weeks. Progress is a lot better, motiviation is better, stress level and dissapointment is a lot lower.

    I do it everyday, if I don't weigh everyday I find myself "falling off the wagon" lol. Yes the scale goes up and down, and some days it's discouraging, but for the most part it helps me keep my diet/workouts in check. I only log losses though. I do keep track of my weight in notes section of my food diary. :)

    Exact same way I do it.

    I do it that way too. I weigh every morning before I get dressed. If the scale goes up it motivates me to do everything on plan the rest of the day. If it goes down I log it. Sometime I log my weight every other day and sometimes not for a week and a half. I'm OK seeing a gain on the scale but I can't stand to see the little chart go back up!!!

    I track my weight daily using a spreadsheet that automatically calculates my trend so that I am really focused on the trend instead of the daily weight. This allows me to be accountable every day while not worrying too much about daily fluctuations. I use the tools that are provided in the Hacker's Diet, available for free download (google 'Hackers Diet')

    I weigh myself at home every morning, but I don't pay much attention to it. I do "official weigh-ins" every Friday at the gym.

    On my gym scale before I work out, every time, which ranges from 2-6 times a week. I weigh myself on other scales when I feel like it (my boyfriend's gym, my work), but I consider the scale at my gym to be the official one and that's the only one I record.

    I do fluctuate, and the ups are hard to take. But then I work out harder. It's only been 11 days so I'm still getting used to things.

    I weigh myself every morning, but my "official" weigh-in for weight loss is on Sundays. The daily weigh-ins are to keep me focused and aware of what's going on. Because honestly, I can do a lot of damage in a week if I'm not paying attention!!

    This is exactly why I do it every morning! I find it's best to keep track of your weight and make sure that somewhere during the week it didn't get out of control. I find it also motivates me to push a bit harder if I go down, to keep up the good work if I break even, or pat myself on the back if I go down. You also have to be kind to yourself if it goes up a bit, and realize that sometimes that happens, definitely don't beat yourself up for it.

    I also make sure to do it before I eat breakfast and naked for the best and consistant results!

    Weighing in is a hard mental issue for me. For years I struggled with anorexia and the scale was my complete nemesis. I obsessed over the scale and would weigh myself several times a day!

    Now I am going to try to ignore that scale except weekly. Friday mornings will be my day and I will not let my old "nutty" behavior come back!

    My scales are pretty awful, you weigh yourself and record it, then get on it again 2 mins later and you've gained/lost up to 3 pounds!

    What should I do?

    That's me. I don't beat myself up about the little ups and downs. I also find my weight tends to lag a day behind my good/bad workout/calorie days.

    My "official" weigh in is Tuesday mornings but I do weigh a few days after eating something I shouldn't (Chinese especially) to see if I gained anything.
