    I have a bad habit of doing it every day, although I only update it on here once a week. If I go down any, it makes me motivated to keep eating better and exercise, and if I gain any it makes me depressed and mad at myself, so then I make even better choices (most of the time) I used to and still now on occasion, but it's getting easier, used to think, awesome I lost weight since last night, I guess I can eat something deliciously sweet :P I But it;s getting easier...I am obsessed so if I miss a day, I freak out!

    I weigh myself every morning when I get up in my pj's. You're body can fluctuate several pounds a day so I would recommend staying off the scale after your morning weigh in. I have a scale that measure by the 2/10th's for me this is motivating because I can see the smallest loss ;o)

    FYI It's also really normal to drop pounds for several weeks and then gain or stay the same for a few days or week so don't get discouraged if that happens to you. You're probably just getting ready to break a weight plateau!

    I do it twice a week, my first day of working out and my last day of working out for the week.
