    Everyday in the morning as I get up...it helps keep me on track.
    I will also sometimes weight at night just cause I'm curious as to how much you lose over night lol

    I weigh-in every Saturday morning first thing. I used to weigh-in everyday but I was finding more disappointment after "feeling" like I had a good day the previous day and seeing a weight gain the next! Weighing in once-a-week has given me a sense of anticipation. It actually has made me work harder during the week and it's a nice reward to see, for instance, 1 lb lost instead of .2!

    I aim for once a week in the morning, but I usually end up weighing a lot more frequently than that :grumble:

    I totally agree with that. I like the bigger numbers!

    Religiously every morning after I pee. LOL...I can't help it. I have to know!

    I also don't like surprises or clowns. It's an ongoing problem...

    Monday nights, at the gym, in my underwear. I know it's better to do it in the morning but it has just become a ritual to do it Monday evening before I work out, and I don't have a scale at home (which is probably a good thing!).

    I checked for the first 2 days ago and don't plan to check for another month or more if I can help it.

    I keep wanting to do it more, but I'd just be depressed if I saw no progress and it'd be super unmotivating for me.

    The scales at work are only 10 ft away from my office door and they call my name but I only listen to them on Monday mornings :happy:

    I do it every morning. However, I think you need to be able to put things in perspective and be real about it if you do it every single day. I don't expect the scale to budge every morning, but I do expect it to be within a pound or two of the day before. I think I do it every day because I don't ever want to let my weight get out of control again like it did when I was living in Germany with no scale.

    ^^^ Absolutely!

    I took feel like it gives me a whole 7 days to work hard. The other day I made a mistake of putting my hand into a container of cashews 5 times and felt awful about it, I still kind of do. But I told myself you have (this many) days to correct it. Just eat better and work harder. When I used to weight every day and if I made a slip in food no matter how slight or small I would dread the next day weigh in and if it had even the slightest gain, it could even be just an ounce of two I would freak out and berate myself and feel bad all day. Ugh, that sucked!!!

    edit, I agree seeing a bigger loss on Saturday is much better than just seeing an ounce or so lost the next day.

    Every day I wake up, go to the bathroom and then weight myself (naked).

    I had a calendar last year, that I wrote my daily weight, so I search for the last year's same weight.

    Very liberating if you do this a long time, because you see the results of overeating (like yesterday) and how if you keep the plan the rest of the week, the weight disapears.

    You can weight everyday, but you can't expect to ALWAYS lose pounds.

    Wednesday morning, first thing when I wake up, after my morning pee. That's my official weight.

    Sometimes though, I weigh in just to see how I'm tracking. But, I don't count it, it's just for informational purposes.
