    Once a week, same time every week. For me that's first thing on a Monday morning before I dive in the shower.

    Scales are the very devil. I WISH I'd measured myself like MFP suggests at the outset. Still better late than never.

    Each week the scales show a 1lb loss which is great, but where I get a real buzz is when I see those inches falling off.

    Ok, I guess I'm different here. I only weigh myself every other Monday. I like seeing results and when it's once every two weeks, I really see some.. I don't want to get discouraged by not seeing movement, so I don't get on it everyday.. One weigh in, I saw a 4 1/2 lb differenc e, the other a 5 lb diff. Next weigh in is next Monday.

    I weigh myself at least weekly now, at the same time in the morning after getting out of bed, using the toilet and having a shower. My scales show BF% etc too which helps as weight isn't a great tool when also building muscle

    I weigh myself after every trip to the bathroom, as the scale is right there and I figure after every trip I ought to be lighter. Realistically, I'm lightest after my first or second trip of the day, but I don't mind comparing as the day goes on. It's not what most people do, but it keeps me on track. :)

    Every morning. In the nud and before brekky. Although it's a good indicator, I never over analyse the results.... the body has so many mechanisms that fluctuate and weightloss is never a smooth downward slide. Use it as a guidance, dont get hung up about it :)

    Every morning before shower. Suppose to give a more accurate read but some times I pick up something and hold it just to see if the thing changes. Two or three days in a row it will not change very depressing.

    Everyday before work. My actual weigh-in day is Saturday though (around 9 or 10 am), has been since I started and it's served me well so far!

    Every morning, naked, after going to the bathroom and before I drink/eat anything. Helps me stay on track.

    I weigh myself every 2 weeks on a proper scale at Boots Chemist at the same store (as some scales vary at other stores) at the same time of day. I find weighing myself every day or every other day is not as helpful as the 2 weekly weigh in as it keeps me motivated when I see the loss. Also my weigh naturally increases/decreases due to monthly cycles and muscle weight and I don't want to freak out if I am a pound heavier today than I was yesterday :)
