    As long as you are consistent with scale and time of day/clothing, it should accurately give you a read on how much you are losing. I weigh myself every single day, when I first get up. If I'm a bit up from the previous day, it tends to keep me on track even more for the day. If I'm down even a bit, I record it.

    While I have a scale in the bathroom that I use every morning, I use the shipping scale at the company warehouse when I swing by there for work for my "official" myfitnesspal weight.

    Once weekly (Friday morning), after I wake, pee, no liquids/foods, naked ... try to be consistent with the once weekly and not worry about day-to-day fluctuations.

    First thing in the morning, after bathroom, no fluids or food, naked. Just be consistent

    This.... I am now down to where I weigh on tuesdays and fridays every week. I would do it everyday, but weight can fluctuate so much day to day depending on so many things and I found myself being obsessed.

    Once a week, Every Monday morning at 5:45am. I feel that if I weigh myself all thru the week in can mess with my mind some.

    I weigh in once a week, in the morning on an empty stomach and I also make sure its the day after my rest day so my results aren't influenced by retained water in the muscle tissue that can happen post workout. Works for me.

    I go to the gym 6 days a week. I work only 3-4 days a week but don't always have time to weigh myself, being that it's work and all.

    Looks like I should invest in a good bathroom scale to get that nice naked morning weight. :)

    I weigh myself in the morning and sometimes before I go to bed and usually in the buff, sometimes with my night gown on, it depends.

    First thing in the AM- Naked after I have used the restroom, before drinking anything- usually twice a week with bath room scale

    I weigh in once a week before I eat or drink anything. Every Thursday morning with a digital scale.

    I used to weigh at the gym but then became convinced their scales are retarded. I then began weighing at a Rite Aid in my town (this way I could check my BP too) but this to me became way to tedious (the Rite Aid with the scale is way across town and our little town only has 2 Rite Aid stores...lol). I then invested in a bathroom scale but it wasn't digital and I realized I would need to weigh while on my hands and knees to read the results. From here I invested in a cheap WalMart, digital scale but I am now convinced it is the distant relative of the gym scale and it somewhat retarded, at the least. I am now back to weighing at Rite Aid again...first thing in the morning, no breakfast, no coffee, in my work out clothes and barefoot (I wear flip flops to Rite Aid so I can toss them off real quick then switch into my tennis shoes when I get to the gym).

    SOOO COMPLICATED I KNOW!

    OMG! LMFAO. I bet Rite Aid workers know you by name, hope you buy something while there to make it worth the trip. :)

    Once a week. Doing so more often you set yourself up for more disappointments. Also when you weigh yourself less often you are more apt to be happier when you lost that 1, 2 or 3 pounds. Making it more exciting to get weighed on your weigh in days.
    Scales also are different and no two scales will weigh identically. Pick a method /scale that you feel to be most accurate and stick with that for your main source of information. Going from one to another will get you frustrated.

    Weird. I also weigh naked in the kitchen. There's just something about putting your scale there that reminds you to eat fantastically.

    I also weigh daily, but I don't record it. Also, sometimes I step on the scale after eating, drinking a huge amount of water or a bathroom trip just out of curiosity.

    I walk across bridges of varying capacity and if one collapses, I take note of the posted weight limit. Just kidding. ;-P

    Generally, Friday mornings after my bio break and with few clothes on in the bathroom on a scale.

    Cheers,

    Sean

    Well I don't have a regular scale so I use my Wii Fit Board to weigh. Then it tracks my weight for me. I've compared it to my Dad's scale when I go home to visit and it seems right. And of course I weigh first thing in the morning with light pajamas on, usually after using the bathroom, before eating or drinking.

    ^^ This :happy:.... oh and I've switched days multiple times. used to do Saturday mornings, then Mondays when I did a March challenge and now I'm doing Wednesdays so that the fluctuations from different weekend habits can't skew my results!
