I've gotten in the habit of weighing myself each morning and I think this may be a bad thing. So how often do you guys weigh yourselves, if at all? Also, do you take measurements or track your progress in some other way on a regular basis (e.g. BMI)?
Thanks!

    I weigh every Tuesday morning. I don't like to weigh everyday because weight fluctuates too much to really see how much was lost on a daily basis.

    I am often tempted to weigh in more than once a week, but try to stick to that. I have always heard once a week is best. I do it on Monday mornings first thing

    I weigh every morning (the fluctuations don't bother me.. I was up nearly 2 pounds the other day, but back down those 2 pounds the next, ect). It's more just curiosity for me. I'm also recording my daily weight in my Woman's Log app. I only check in with my current weight once a week (Wednesdays) on MFP, though!

    I started out on weighing and measuring every week. Now I'm at my goal weight and focusing at body recomposition I only do that every other week, because the changes are otherwise too small to detect easily.

    Weigh yourself whenever you like. There's no right or wrong. Some people just don't understand that our bodies flucuate in weight and they freak out because they've gone up .5 or 1 lb when in reality their weight is going down. I weigh myself almost everyday but I only record my weight once or sometimes twice during the week. I like to see the flucuations throughout the week so I know what is normal and what is truly weight gain. Sometimes I even weigh myself in the am and then in the pm to see what my normal daily flucuation is. The key is to decide what day of the week is going to be your "official" weigh in day and stick to that day and time.

    I don't weigh or measure; I go by how my clothes fit. A lot less stress that way.

    I weigh myself every morning. Its nice to see exactly what my body is doing everyday. It helps me to keep going because usually every morning im at least a pound lighter.

    Weight fluctuations suck, and they happen daily due to many factors. Stick to once a week. I also just go by how my clothes feel instead of measurements.

    I weigh myself anymore because I'm a curious cat, but I only record it once a week.

    I weigh myself every morning. If I've had a day where I've eaten a little more, say on the weekend I will wait a day before I weigh. As a rule I do not lose at this time but neither do I gain. Also I take my measurements every other week and a picture once a month. I have also started an album where I record everything. This helps keeps me on track....
