    Thanks everyone, i appreciate all of your responses. I do like weighing myself daily because it does make me accountable. I am not looking for a drop every day because i do know that is unrealistic. But it if i have had a significant gain from yesterday then i like to look back at what i ate that day to see what i can change for the future. Good luck to all of you.

    I wouldn't worry about the gains; it's practically impossible for you to have caused a weight gain in fat from a single day's meal choices (particularly if you stayed at a reasonable calorie level). As I understand it, most of the fluctuation comes from how much water your body retains, and that is somewhat influenced by how much water you drink (more is better, oddly) and how much sodium / potassium you have eaten, among other things, But even if all those things stayed constant, your body would still retain a different amount from day to day for reasons unrelated to nutrition.

    I log it every Monday morning for my groups, but will log it whenever there's a loss otherwise.

    I used to only do once per week, but lately I've been stepping on every day, first thing in the morning (after going to the bathroom). It helps hold me accountable and in check for the day. I don't have an "official" weigh in day...I figure I'll just log it when it changes. That'll motivate me to NOT make the number go up, since I don't wnat to change it to a higher number.

    When I weighed in once per week, I would be under the illusion that I had a week to make up for any "cheat" days I had. Now, I'm always "on the clock" so to speak.

    I weigh every morning after I go to the bathroom. My weight on Friday is what I post on MFP.:love:

    I try to stick to once a week on either a Thursday or Friday morning, sometimes I sneak in an extra weigh-in after the weekend. I used to weigh myself daily but I was getting ridiculously upset if the reading on the scale went up (even by the slightest amount!) so have moved the scales out of the bathroom so I'm not tempted :smile:

    I'm trying to get away from being a daily weigher and do it every 7 days.

    I WEIGHT MYSELF ONCE A WEEK. FIRST THING WHEN I WAKE UP EVERY MONDAY MORNING. I PEE FIRST THEN WEIGHT MYSELF IN THE NUDE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN TEMPTED TO WEIGHT MYSELF DAILY BUT I ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID THE SCALE. I HIDE MY SCALE, I ONLY TAKE IT OUT ON MONDAYS LOL. IF THE SCALE IS OUT OF MY SIGHT I DON'T THINK ABOUT WEIGHING MYSELF DAILY.
