    I weigh every morning right after my shower. I like having more data to work with.

    Personal preference. Some people do not use scales but measurements instead. I weigh every thursday but do not necessarily post it.

    As for tracking, do you mean food? That I do every day. Every BLT - bite, lick, tastes.

    Sorry, I meant I got used to writing my weight down in a personal log. And yeah, that too. I meant to ask if others used measurements to see their progress as well. Thanks :)

    I weigh myself Monday morning. That way, I have a reason to not lose my *kitten* on the weekends, because I know I want to be light as possible for the upcoming scale. I used to weigh myself every morning, but I found that that didn't help me as much because of the daily fluctuations.

    I weigh myself when I wake up and before bed. I keep a close track and record data on my phone app

    Once a week officially. Twice a week just to keep track of progress. I am on vacation right now and it has been 10 days sine I weighed myself. This is the longest I've gone in a year and it is a little challenging!

    I shoot for once a week. I only record when I weight myself at my gym. This is because, I believe in consistency and I don't trust any of the other scales in my life other than my Doctor's. I wear shorts and a t-shirt and no shoes, though I do know approx what my shoes and my cell phone weigh.

    However...I do weigh myself every time I workout. One of the gyms I workout at has a crappy dial scale that's 10 lbs low unless you stand on it really far forward.

    Any time I have at least a 1 lb loss, I record my new weight. I only record full pounds.

    I weigh and record every Sunday morning. I'll step on the scale a few more times during the week out of curiosity, but I don't record it and don't let it get to me.

    It seems like everyone weighs weekly. I know I weigh myself throughout the week out of curiosity, but don't write it down. I think it just gets overwhelming when the scale doesn't move, it's like, can I just throw the thing away and be done with it?! lol

    I weigh every Friday morning without any clothes on, after I've used the bathroom, with no food or water in my stomach. And I take measurements and progress pictures every 4th of the month. :3 (But sometimes I forget/get lazy and it ends up being the 5th.)

    Right now, I'm only weighing my self about once a month, when I go into the doctor's office, or to a friend's house. I tend to get a little obessive about weighing myself when I have a scale at home.

    I think it's truly a matter of personal preference... I tend to take my weight once a week. :smile:

    I used to weight in every Saturday morning, and it was to much. So now I am not going to weigh in till end of January and then start once per months, maybe. For me personally, I think measurements and BF% are key over the scale.

    I know how it is! I weighed myself this morning. At least the number went down a bit lol :)
