    I weight every morning. Not for everybody for sure.

    I'm the same way. But I'm not neurotic about daily fluxuations - rather I find it taught me a lot about my body. I found I can easily gain 1-2lbs. if I have a high sodium day. I can go up 2-4lbs. just before and at the beginning of my period. It's a constant pattern, that I am happy to have learned about in my body. My periods are inconsistent - so this helps me i.d. when it's on its way! I know that as long as I'm staying close to my daily calories... I cannot gain 1 lb of body fat overnight - so if I put on a pound, I honestly don't flip out - rather I take a good look at my diary/cycle/etc. Daily weights has definately helped me learn to better control my sodium intake.

    Every 5 weeks, on Saturday mornings before I eat or drink anything :)

    Now that I'm losing I'm tempted to weigh in more but I feel like it will make me obsess over every little pound instead of living life and focusing on being healthier, which is the whole point. Plus it's less about the number on the scale, more about inches, how your clothes fit & the way you look/feel.

    I'm going to try this once I pass the 50% marks - I can feel myself getting more and more obsessed by what the scales say, have gone from every 2 weeks to twice a week and it's too domarlising if i don't see a loss

    I'm weighing in every morning this week to see how my body reacts to my TOM and then I know what to expect in the cure. My heart sank when I weighed in the week nd had gained 2lbs, but90% of that was go e the next day.

    I have a chart in the bathroom and take down my weight every morning. Somtimes up, most often times down. I like seeing the graph over time. It keeps me motiviated.

    1-2 times per week. Friday is my officially weigh-in day but it seems I see a little loss on Friday and a bigger loss on Saturday. I should just make Saturday my weigh-in day :smile:

    Twice a day (first thing in the AM and after working out, sometimes before too). But I'm not neurotic about it at all. I track the lowest number for the day in a spreadsheet and use it to extract my maintenence level intake, long term trends and whatnot.

    As others have said I find it fascinating. Especially as I've been in various BF% ranges as it has acted differently.

    I am a nerd. I love data; love manipulating data, love graphing data, love finding useful patterns in data. A big spreadsheet full of numbers is a video game to me. Weighing in daily is just part of that puzzle.

    I hop on the scale every morning, but only record it here once a week. It seems as though my scale knows my weigh-in day and, being a particularly ill-tempered scale, always spikes upward on that day. I still record that number, but I know in my head that I'm trending more downward.

    LOL! Me too, I think I must've bought the same scale as you.

    I only weigh myself once a week. And I do it at the same time each time. First thing in the morning before I jump in the shower.
