How often do you step on the scale?

If you weigh yourself once a week, which is recommended, it's the most accurate way to tell if the plan you are on is working. You fluctuate so much during the day and day-to-day that weighing yourself more than this is misleading and can lead to you feeling defeated if you see an increase on the scales which will probably just be a water fluctuation.

Resist the temptation to weigh yourself more than this and good luck!

between every 4-6 days

I weigh every morning sans clothes & breakfast from the bathroom. I don't let the number dictate my mood, however this habit keeps me accountable every day, and confirms my estimates of not enough water intake or too much sodium :-)

Daily but. that is because I am trying to measure unconventional exercise calories burned. And even so it's still going to be a pretty rough estimate.

It depends on the person. I started out weighing once a week. Then I bought one of those digital scales that measures weight, body fat, muscle and water percentages, so now I weigh every day to get a better idea of what my body is doing. But if a person gets obsessed with the number on the scale, its better not to weigh too often.

I just started to weight myself every two weeks and not around TOM. In the mean time, my mirror/measurements are providing proof that I'm shrinking.

Scale is in the same spot in the bathroom (level surface). If I move it, I re-calibrate it. I also weigh myself 3 times in a row. If the number appears 3 times, then I jot it down.
