What do you guys recommend for how often to weigh yourself? I have heard every morning and others say once a week. I am afraid I will get disappointed if I weigh in each morning and don't see results.

    Honestly? I weigh myself 3 times a day at least! I can't help myself. (I only log it once a day, in the morning.) The biggest thing is to remember that you weight will go up and down naturally - and progress won't be eveident everyday so I really don't worry about it as long as it's going down over a week or so. By weighing myself daily I do notice monthly trends of weight loss and such due to hormones that I may not notice once a week.

    I don't have a scale. I weigh in with my nutritionist every other week. I don't like to see my weight fluctuate so usually I show a loss or at least a stall after two weeks.

    Since it seems you cannot psychologically handle the day to day fluctuations in your weight, i would weigh once per month

    I weigh myself every day, and know that my weight will fluctuate from day to day. I only record a loss if I hit the same weight 2 days in a row.

    I weigh every Sunday morning. No more, no less. Gives me something to shoot for, and inspires me during the week! " Do I want to eat that Ice cream? Nah... I have to weigh in on Sunday. I better skip it!"

    HOLY COW 3 times a day! :ohwell:

    I suggest every two weeks but if you cant stand that, then once a week is okay. I find that many people get upset and are demotivated by the scale, if we do not use it often, then it can not hurt us can it?

    Every morning for the past 3 years. Learned a lot by doing this. Learned when I eat taco bell or chick-fil-a I'm up 2 pounds for a couple days. Also learned that 2 weeks after tom I eat a lot for 2-3 days, used to make me scared that my body was against me and wanted to be heavy.

    I weigh myself in the morning and evening. I only record the morning weight though.

    I weigh myself almost every morning. I have tried not doing so, but the scale is right there in my bathroom when I am getting ready, so I can't resist. But I do not record a loss unless I hit a lower weight a couple of days in a row, to make sure it is not just a temporary fluctuation.
