How often do you weigh?

I face my scale every Friday first thing in the morning au'natural, but I see lots of women doing multiple times a week. What are your weigh-in times?

I just broke down and bought a scale, so I'm going to try once a week, though I forgot this morning. I won't lie though, I usually hop on the scale once a day, I just don't stress over the fluctuation.0

I've started weight training over the past 2 weeks, so to avoid discouragement I've been doing measurements instead of weighing. I have only been weighing myself once a month.0

I was originally weighing in 1 time a week (on Tuesday---just because that was the day I started).
Lately, I've been weighing in every morning. Mostly because I realize that my weight fluctuates during the week, and I wanted to see the pattern. I've been posting daily because I want the graph to show the up and down progress.
(And I weigh in first thing in the morning--after peeing---with no clothes on.)0 -

Me too. My weigh in day is usually Saturday morning unless we are going to be gone then I weigh in on Friday or Sunday depending on what the weekend holds.0 -
Every morning, usually about 1/2 hr after I wake up and go to the ladies room. :P I don't stress over fluctuations either. I know as long as I keep doing what I'm doing, it will EVENTUALLY go down because I know I'm burning more calories than I'm eating every day!

I usually weigh in every morning, right when I wake up. I don't stress out over a little up and down, and when I stop weighing every day is when I start to get off track...0

I weigh in officially on a Sunday morning, but usually will also weigh myself once a day as well just to make sure I'm keeping on track... just in case lol 0

Sunday mornings after I brush my teeth. More often than that would drive me crazy.0

I started weighing once a week. Then I decided twice a week was good and then I started every other day and then went to every day. There are days I skip or just don't feel like it but I generally hop on the scale just to see where I come in. I don't log gains and sometimes I'll wait until I see a number twice before logging a loss. I went almost a month without a loss and it was frustrating but the scale is moving again so it's easier to get on there everyday0

It is interesting to see everyone's preference. I think I may stick to my Friday morning Nekkid weigh in I understand the wanting to see the fluctuations. I did that before so I could see the pattern my body took and figure out my nightly "gain" fluctuation. 0

I weight in every morning, but I don't get freaked out about the fluctuations. I often eat dinner late and/or don't drink enough water, so I know that it doesn't mean I'm gaining fat. I find I am more accountable when I know I am going to weigh every morning. When I know I've been naughty, that's when I try to avoid the scale.0

I used to be naughty, face the scale and then yell at the scale for being a terd Now while logging I cant really do that lol 0

Pretty much exactly what Julie said. I started weighing in daily because I was getting really weird weekly amounts - sometimes nothing, sometimes small, sometimes huge loss. By weighing in naked each morning I can see the pattern of how I lose and how my actions effect my loss (for example, a hard cardio session at the gym usually means I'll lose the next morning). I can also see how once I lose I almost always hold that exact weight for a few days unless I do another huge cardio session and lose again. I log each loss so I can track it, and because I know if my weight goes up again from that weight it'll just be water or not a real gain of fat, I'm exercising too much and sticking to my calories so my body has no way of gaining fat.0

I weigh daily Monday through Friday. I wear the same clothes so I have a consistent weight. I like to be accountable to myself and a daily weigh in helps me do that. It also helps me be aware of the little things I do that can have a daily impact on my weight....too much sodium, not enough water, etc.0
-
Sometimes I weigh once a week. Sometimes I'll wait 2 weeks especially if its that TOM.0
-
I weigh every day. I can't help it. It keeps me on track. If I see the scale creeping up, I'm more careful with my diet.0

Once a week usually but the scale I was using belonged to my husbands grandmother. She was staying with us for the winter. It moved out when she did. I gots to by me a new scale. I would get the slick one that just beams my weight to MFP but there are sometimes I want to weigh in the next day because I know I've got some water or something doing one of those 3-5 lb weight swings.0

Every day. I don't record unless there is a loss...0
