    I used to do once a week, every Monday, log on to MFP and submit it.
    However, at work, a group of us have started a "biggest loser" weight loss group and weigh day for that is on a Thursday.
    So now I weigh twice a week! :blushing:

    I dont weigh in very often, maybe once a month, as I tend to go how clothes fit than by the numbers

    When I do weigh, I'll do it first thing on a Monday straight after the first toilet visit....if you giet my meaning :)

    I'm a daily weigher...I'm just curious about my daily fluctuations (spelling??) and how different foods, etc. may effect my daily weight. I log every Friday morning after getting out of the shower...

    I try to weight myself once a week. To me, weighing daily doesn't really tell me anything because everyone goes up and down on a daily basis.

    Once daily first thing in the morning, and then monthly at my doctor's office. When I register a loss, I record it.

    All that being said, I put little stock in what the scales say. I use other metrics like how my clothes fit, how loose is my wedding ring, etc.

    I also remind myself of the following:

    The more hunger pangs I endure, the more I win.
    The more I go to bed hungry, the more I win.
    The more times I go to the gym, the more I win.
    The more sweat-soaked my shirts are from workouts, the more I win.
    The more weight I lift, the more I lift it, the more I win.
    The more time I add to my workouts, even seconds, the more I win.
    The more miles I add to my workouts, even tenths of miles, the more I win.
    The more I make my muscles burn, the more I win.
    The more I pass up the cake and donuts in the office, the more I win.
    The more I refuse to eat the brownies and cookies at home, the more I win.
    The more holes I have to make in my belt, the more I win.
    The more clothes I shrink out of, the more I win.
    The more people tell me I look like I'm losing weight, the more I win.
    The more I don't cheat on my nutrition, the more I win.
    The more the scales go down, even if only by tenths, the more I win.
    The more veins I see being pushed out by new muscle, the more I win.
    The more I deny myself, the more I win.
    The more I push myself, the more I win.
    The more I refuse to fail, the more I win.
    The more I persist, the more I persevere, the more I win.
    The less I care about food, the more I win.
