    Pretty much daily, especially if I've been trying hard with the diet and cardio. I want results, dammit.

    I never measure myself (maybe I should) but I weigh myself every morning after I use the bathroom. Make it a part of your morning routine. Don't get obsessed with it though. If you feel like that's too much try once or twice a week.

    I've never measured which I regret now :( and I weigh myself every day but only update it once a week.. I would recommend weighing yourself every 2 weeks just so that u don't go crazy with weight fluctuations.. It's something I should do too because sadly, I am addicted to my scale :/

    I weigh everyday ,but i dont let the weight intimidate me.I understand the scale weight has many other factors contributing to it like
    1.Sodium
    2.Low calorie
    3.Hydration
    4.TOM
    5.Weight lifting
    6.New workout routine
    7.Other hormonal

    I just measure every day to observe patterns-i record them on a spreadsheet and take an average of them for the week.compare it previous weeks weight.

    Yes, this is me too. I weight every day and the pattern is great to see. You list all those things above to learn about our own bodies.

    First of all, congrats on overcoming your ED and being wary of going back to your 'ways'. That's the best way to never go back there again!

    I weigh myself daily but I do know that a lot of things affect daily fluctuations so I don't get too upset if I gain a few pounds. However....I'm trying really hard to accept a SEVEN lb gain from too much sodium and water the last few days. lol I've never had it go that high in one single day.
    I am also recovered from an ED but weighing myself daily isn't one thing I'll give up. Just today I read on fitbie that people who weigh daily, weigh less than those who don't. I think that's because when we KNOW we will weigh more, we don't, then things get out of hand.
    I measure myself once a week and log it in a journal along with my weight for that day. It is an improvement over weighing myself 10 times a day so I'll take it. :)

    I weigh myself a few times a week and get my trainer to do measurements every 90 days, which includes body fat percentage. I have only lost six pounds and went from 22% body fat to 18%. Then I didn't lose any weight and went down to 15.9% body fat. So that tells you that the cardio is burning the fat and all the protein I'm eating is building muscle back. So don't necessarily go by the scale. I can tell when I put on more fat just by looking at myself in the mirror.

    Multiple times a day just because it keeps me more focused. I take photos monthly.

    I don't measure myself actively, maybe once a year or less. I let my clothes tell me I'm smaller. :D As far as weighing, maybe every three weeks. I usually weigh myself 3 days in a row, at the same time, before I've eaten in the morning, to get a consistent read out.

    I weigh myself once a week, and I do my measurements approximately once a month. That's enough for me. :smile:

    Whenever I visit my boyfriend's parents house. We don't have a scale but they do. Probably a good thing cause I'd probably end up weighing myself every day :)

    I weigh everyday, but only log it on Saturday mornings. I measure once a month. I also take pictures about once a month.

    Wow! I never thought to do it that way. I'm losing "weight" very slowly, but I do see (and so do other people) significant changes in my body. Thanks for the info!
