How often do you guys weigh?

I weigh 2x a week on average, in the morning. The weight just hasn't been changing enough to warrant daily weigh ins.
My nutritionist highly recommends daily weigh ins because you need to have some sort of daily reminder to keep your weight in check and your health at the top of your to do list. But if you're logging your food intake every day on MFP, THAT is your daily reminder, so weekly weigh ins are more appropriate, because we all know the scale is not always the most honest reflection of what's going on.
But if you stop logging, start daily weighing to make sure the scale doesn't start creeping up.0 -

I know everyone says not to, but I weigh myself everyday. It's crazy how much my weight fluctuates! I only record my weight once a week, as long as there is an actual loss on my "official weigh in" day. I last recorded my weight on Saturday the 4th. I weighed in at 202.4. The earliest I'll record again will be tomorrow, but I have a feeling I won't have a loss. But I actually lost weight this week, and then found it again. So last Saturday I weighed 202.4. Monday I weighed 198,and I was so excited but didn't record it since it had only been 2 days since I recorded. I also felt it was too good to be true. Sure enough it was. Wednesday I weighed 206!!! What the crap!?! And I was doing well with diet and exercise so how was I able to go back up to 206? Anyway, this morning I was back down to 202.4. I bet I'll be 203 or 204 tomorrow, which will suck since it means no loss in the last week.
Oh, and I always weigh myself first thing in the morning, but after I've gone to the potty.0 -
I was weighing myself twice a day. It was a problem. I'd get bummed out if the numbers went up by even, like, .2. Yesterday I asked my fiance to hide the scale. I'm done letting it stress me out.0

That's funny, my boyfriend said he was going to hide the scale from me too . All of y'all are doing great. I'm so jealous. I'm going to be so excited when I get down to 199, totally will have to treat myself with something .0

Every morning before jumping in the shower. I know it's a lot, but I want to see my results right away!! I guess I'm just impaitent that way.0

I don't own a scale. I'm not sure that I ever want to own one. I only weigh myself when I go to the doctors. my weight in's have been few and far between.0

Same here!0

I weigh once a week. every Monday. That's just what I do. I might start going every 2 weeks.0
-
Friday morning only. The up and down of weighing daily would drive me nuts.0
-
I told myself when I started I'd weigh once a month, but my scale is in my bathroom so I can never resist so I step on first thing every morning.0

Every day, first thing before using the bathroom. I splurged on the Fitbit Aria, so I often don't even bother to look at the scale. It makes it almost like a video game for me whenever I do finally look at the weight on the website. Sometimes it looks like a bit of a mountain range.
I only enter it here at MFP on Mondays though, and I round to the nearest pound.0 -
Every day, if I'm losing; every few days if I stall.0
-
Every Sunday morning. The rest of the time, the scale stays in the bathroom, unused.
It would drive me absolutely nutso to see +0.2 on Monday morning, -0.6 Monday afternoon, +.11 Tuesday morning, lather, rinse, repeat
ugh
:sick:0 -
Fun with graphs! This is why I said it was like a videogame for me.
Last 30 days:
Since February when I got serious:
Some of the jumps are from switching to a different scale.
Since I topped out:
I wasn't even weighing every week last year.
Please note that 290 is a waypoint, not a final destination. See my profile for further details.0 -

Right now while it is so hot, I weigh every morning, then before I run and again after so I can make sure I drink enough water after a workout.0
