    I usually weigh in about once a month, mainly because I feel like I'm losing slowly, and seeing more at a time makes me feel better!

    your most accurate weight should be after you sleep, and wake up and evacuate your bowels and bladder............aka
    first thing in the am, after a poop and pee.

    keep in mind..........you drink a bottle of water.........you just "gained" a lb on the scale

    I weigh when I am at work (doctor's office, I can't stop myself!) but I only count my Friday weigh in.

    Every Monday morning having peeing and naked. And I record that weight. May weigh once during the week but not that often. I also rely on the tape measure too. I measure myself about once a month. I like to see the inches falling off too.

    I think it depends on your personality. I can easily get into the habit of weighing daily, but I get frustrated when I don't see movement that I think I should, so I make myself wait every week if not longer.

    But for those who don't get discouraged by not seeing any movement for days at a time, the daily thing can be helpful.

    I fully intend on weighing myself daily once I hit my goal weight to keep me in check and to ensure that I don't allow myself to gain more than a few pounds ever again.

    I weigh every day but I only "weigh in" once a week on Sunday mornings. That way I see the weekly fluctuations but I only count it once a week. :)

    I weigh myself once every couple of weeks. I'm not a daily or even weekly recorder of my weight through MFP.

    Once a week. Otherwise, I drive myself nutso. I usually skip the week that Aunt Flo comes to town because I know that I will be up about four pounds.

    i disappoint myself regularly--- every morning, naked, before i get into the shower. Rarely does it make me smile. I am under my calorie limit every day, exercise about 30 minutes a day, and still no loss for quite a while. I am beginning to hate that little message that always says, ""if you ate like this everyday, you woule weigh 155 in 5 weeks". Like Rot I would!! very discouraged.

    This^

    Every Saturday morning the scale and I meet at the appointed time. Usually after I walk the dog, and have a shower.

    "Hello, scale," I say, daring it to tell me something rude in reply. The scale does not respond, preferring to silently reproach me by the LCD alone. I had approached it hopefully earlier in the week, and it mocked me with numbers that I knew could not be true. Embarrassed by my folly, I slunk away, plotting to replace it with a more agreeable model.

    So, now I have returned on Saturday morning, at the correct time, and before it could think of something cutting to show me, I poked the button with my toe and hopped on. Two pounds gone! Pwned.

    I win this week, scale. Seeya next Saturday.

    I'm trying a no-scale March this month, but typically it's 2-3 times a day. Too obsessed with the scale, which is why I'm going no-scale.

    At the moment, I don't have a scale at home, so I only weigh when it's convenient. Between myself and the kids, someone is at the doctor every couple of weeks, so I just weigh when I go to the doctor. It's usually ever 2-4 weeks for me. Even if I had a scale at home, it wouldn't be more than every week. I'd make myself crazy if I did more than that.

    I weigh in every morning, but I'm only going to log losses/gains on Mondays at the same time every Monday.
