    on average twice a day, morning and before bed. Maybe a third time before a shower if that falls between hopping on the scales. At night I like to guess what it will be in the morning. If seeing weight fluctuations every day bothered me I might avoid it, but it doesn't. I can easily not get on. I only record a weight it if has been the same two mornings in a row though.

    I weighed 2x a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays but then when I hit my plateau and didn't lose anything for over 3 weeks, I started getting obsessive, weighing every morning sometimes 2x a morning waiting for my plateau to break and all of a sudden lose 2 lbs overnight like I've seen people write about. Still hasn't happened......... I know I need to chill and take it down a notch..

    I personally hate the scale and prefer to focus on NSV's. I do weight training so I'm pretty much replacing muscle for fat so my weight does not change much but I can see my body transforming. I weigh in once every two weeks! Sometimes the scale can be a huge appointment's so NSV's for me!

    I think of it as a science experiment, and I like to know how various foods and activities affect me and how fast they appear to burn. If it drives me crazy, then I stop for a bit. This helps keep me in line. If I didn't do it very often there's no telling how motivated I would stay. It's a personal thing preference, and everyone is different.

    About every 3-5 Days, it all depends on if I remember to. At first I weighed every day and the fluctuation was discouraging even though I was losing over all. I usually weigh first thing in the morning.

    Multiple times a day. It actually keeps me from being frustrated about slow losses because at some point in the week I generally dip to a new low, which may or may not be visible on weigh in day. I don't log these weight fluctuations, but I like to see them!

    I weigh myself about once or twice a year when I go to the doctor. Last year was more, since I was pregnant :smile:
    We don't own a scale. I just go by how my clothes fit and how I look in the mirror.

    Once or twice a month. I am way more interested in my measurements, and how my clothes fit. My body flucuates too much to weigh every week. I would get depressed if I didn't lose, or even more depressed if I gained!!!!

    Once a week on a Tuesday morning, in the same spot.

    Once a week over the summer, once a month during the winter. Or rather, during the school year. I get busy.
