    I weigh myself first thing every morning. Its better to do that and not wait a week to see if you are off track.

    I sometimes weigh more than once, if I feel I might have lost in the middle of the day, but I wont record that.

    I also might weigh before a workout to see how much I sweat off - my record is 4 pounds (not real weight loss)

    I weigh myself every morning. I know they say you shouldn't, But, I'm a little obsessive about it, and If I don't, Then It will drive me crazy all day long.

    Midway through the week I will check in on the scale but my official weigh in is when I wake up on Monday mornings.

    Every day, but don't record it every day. I think I need to look at the scale pretty often to keep on track. I can see what is working and not working a little better that way.

    about twice a month :) every other Sunday or Monday works for me. I know if I hop on the scale everyday I would begin to obsess over it so I take away the temptation. When I see my results they are greater than what they would be at weekly intervals helping me be super motivated to keep up the good work.

    I weigh myself twice a week. Once on Wednesday (the official weigh in that I record) then another a few days later just to make sure I didnt have any after weigh in gains or to see if I was holding any water weight that I lost after my weigh in day.

    I weigh myself every time i hit the gym. Which is usually 6-7 times a week. I love it, keeps me on track and lets me know what's working for me and what isn't.

    I weigh daily to keep me on track, however, I only take it to heart and "officially" count it once a week.

    This is me too.

    I weigh myself when I wake up and when I go to bed and have for ages. Just a habit. I don't find it demotivating at all.

    I weigh in the morning. If I don't, I can ignore the "problem" BUT I only record my weekly Weds result for this site though I do for Sunday and Weds for my own personal. I also did the measurements because sometimes, it is more the changes of the body versus the scale that will help the most. :)

    i weigh myself every single day. 3 x a day. L OL sounds crazy but i keep track of it on my phone and it shows me how i fluctuate and by how much depending on what im consuming that day. so i get up at around 4:30am every day so i weigh myself at5am.. then i go back to bed.. wake up again around 8:30am and do my daily morning routine and at abut 9am i weigh myself. Then i weigh myself right before bed.

    what does this do for me.. well I like to do it like that! , and i think that this routine helps me stay focused as well for the next day. i have found that weighing myself half hour after waking give me the most accurate number. i log when i lose

    I weigh myself once a day, though sometimes I forget. It's not at all necessary, but I enjoy seeing the fluctuations and knowing how much water weight and etc I've got on me. I only log my weight on MFP when I see a loss on the scale. I don't bother tracking the gains.

    I don't recommend weighing that often though unless you know you can handle it. I remember I freaked out once thinking I'd gained 5lbs from one bad day of eating, before I knew how many pounds water weight and constipation can really add. :laugh:
