I was thinking once a week, but have read to do it more often than that. How often should you weigh yourself?

    I don't. Only when I go to the doctor. I let my clothes tell me. Lately my measuring tool has been a skirt that was very, I mean very too tight about a month ago and last week I put it on again and this time I could zip it. Hope this helps.

    Honestly- I weigh daily in the mornings. It motivates me and really keeps me on track with staying on my calorie goals. If I only weigh weekly- I tend to have poorer eating habits at the beginning of the week and then try to "catch up" with my calories reduction for the end of the week and usually have poorer weigh loss.

    Used to weigh once a week but after I had a transplant a couple of years ago, they required me to weigh everyday to make sure I didn't gain alot of weight from day to day (could signal a rejection). Since then, I weigh everyday out of habit but only record my weight on Monday mornings.

    I don't. I just use calipers to measure percent body fat

    I was scale obsessed for a long time.. I would weigh myself
    Atleast 3-4 times a day. Now I've learned that's not such a smart thing to do since
    We weigh different throughout the day
    I now weigh in every Friday :-)

    According to my weight loss doctor.. he recommends every day weighing self. Same time of day and with same clothes. I tend to do as part of my morning ritual. His philosophy is if weighing everyday you can make adjustments to dietary habits before you are in a week and gain 5 pounds..

    I weight every Friday morning. I chose Friday because I am not as strict with my meals on the weekends so I did not want to weigh on Monday morning. I sometimes check during the week to see how I am doing but only post the weight on Friday.

    I check the scale every morning but only record it once a week mid morning to try and keep a more accurate log

    same, first thing in the morning after using the washroom, always allowing 5 or so pounds of fluctuating wiggle room.
    it really does keep you on track, make you want to eat really well that day, makes you want to work out. it can turn into an obsession though so be careful

    I weigh myself up too 4 times a day. Not healthy but I can't help it

    Every day if I remember. I'm fully aware that weight can fluctuate when you check that often, but it pushes me to work harder when I see the fruits of my labor :)

    I used to do it daily and drove myself crazy with the natural fluctuations.

    I'm now only going to weigh myself for reference when the bits that shouldn't jiggle don't.

    Whatever that number turns out to be is not important to me, even less so the BMI.

    I weigh myself every morning. I only record 1 time a week. I do an average of the week.

    I don't weigh myself at all. I prefer measurements or simply using my clothes as a guide.

    A few times a day, but I try not to panic and know that it's normal to fluctuate from day to day.
