    I have a bit of a mad system - I weigh myself 3 to 5 times a day! But I only actually record one each week as my official weight - the heaviest figure I observe. I like doing this because I get used to the fluctuations (so I don't freak out it it goes up a bit). Also, I pick the heaviest because it stops me doing crazy stuff to get an artificially low figure.

    Mad, I know ....

    Yeah. That's not normal. You need help, methinks.

    Monday morning. I don't have a scale at my house but on Sunday nights I stay at my parents.

    Always on Monday mornings... because of this I'm more conscious of what I eat on the weekend knowing that I have a weigh-in soon.

    Tuesdays for no particularly good reason other than that is when we started. Also Fridays as well because of the February Lose 6 Pounds Challenge forum on this site, Friday being the first of the month.

    I have the FitBit scales and use em morning and night usually. I then keep the lowest for the day, yeah some keep highest, I keep lowest, makes me feel better.

    Only times I didn't do at least daily were when I was away from home.
  • Once a week, Friday mornings. I like weighing just before the weekend starts so that if something special is going on where I will be eating or drinking, then I have all week to work it off.

    I have decided to weigh in each Monday morning, but not I'm not sure as I have eaten not so well on the weekends and will this effect it?

    Not sure when is a good idea, when does everyone else weigh in and how often? :)

    As long as you weigh yourself at the same time and under the same conditions, you'll be able to tell if you're losing weight.

    For me it's a matter of convenience - the only scale is at my gym, so I weigh myself at night, post-workout and pre-shower.
  • about once a week. does anyone weigh in everyday?
  • i posted last night, and said i know some people weigh once a week, some weigh, once a month, blah blah. i am going to start weighing, every morning, quickly right before coffee and getting ready for work. What i find happens is, if i only weigh in once a week, if i have a day or two that i blow it, i get hesitant to weigh in, and i push it off. This way, i will weigh in each morning and just get a feel for what i am doing during the week. I may only decide to do it 2 weeks (LOL) but i started this morning.

    I try to weigh in every saturday morning before I eat or drink anything and after I have a bowel movement and urinated....bc this is your true weight...I want to get in the habit of measuring myself bc that can be more telling than the scale....
