    Every Saturday. For me daily weigh ins can be a little daunting some times. However some women/men find the motivational. Good job on the 10 pounds

    once per week is what I do. Usually Sundays or Mondays. I don't like to see it every day because if I gain weight (possibly from being bloated) I get down on myself even though I know it's only one day.

    I do it every morning too. I keeps me on track. If I don't, I find that every day I'll eat a bit more and more. It's funny though because I have to be awake enough (as if being tired makes you weigh more), I won't let myself even take a sip of water and I have to go use the restroom first! LOL If I do any of the above, I won't weigh myself until the next morning!

    I weigh everyday in the morning and every night before bed! I only log my weight once a week, on Sundays.

    I typically weigh myself when I feel my clothes fit different. I only really gain weight in two area and can tell when the scale shifts a little. I only step on the scale when I can consistently tell I've lost a inch or so in that area.

    Every morning and I record when I show weight loss.....my weight fluctuates daily and I don't stress if it is up a pound so. It keeps me motivated daily :-)

    Not sure what "awake enough" means, but I also will skip a morning weigh in if I drink or eat something first. I think daily weigh-ins are fine if you don't get too upset by every little change, but I'm in maintenance, so I want the info. When I was losing, I tried to only weight 2 or 3 times per week. I only record it as a weigh-in once a week, tho, on Sunday.

    Every morning, right after I pee. But Friday mornings are my reference day. This way, if you cheat a bit on the weekend, you still have all week to get in the gym and make up for it.


    Its also important to take measurements. Sometimes you don't lose pounds, but you do lose inches.

    My mom or bestfriend weighs me once every 5 days or once a week. I actually dont know the number the record it and have decided when the time is right they will tell me.

    I weigh myself everyday after I use the bathroom. I find it's more accurate when your body is at a 'natural' weight, like you haven't added any food or drinks into the system, or added heavy clothes (normally pajamas are light and add little if any weight).
    Plus, its also easier to see how your weight fluctuates. I would go crazy if I didn't know how much I weighed.

    I weigh myself one a week (every Monday) after I've gone to the bathroom and in my underwear (so it is consistent :) ).
    I used to weigh myself everyday but I find that it doesn't really reflect much and I get rather discouraged by the lack of shift in numbers. So I decided to only measure myself once a week since then & also measure my waist once a week :-)

    The one that counts (first morning, naked) is Sunday morning. When I jump on the Wii, it weighs me every day, and it can get annoying, because if you work out early one day, and later the next-you will weigh more on the second day. So I don't pay too much attention to that.

    Well I had a baby almost 5 weeks ago, and I have lost 33 out of 40lbs so far, so I weigh every day because it is awesome to see the scale change so much. Usually though, I weigh once-twice/week :)

    I weigh my elf once a year at Christmas.....LOL....just kidding. (there was a typo in the subject line and it made me laugh).....

    I weigh every two weeks. I used to be very obsessed with weighing every day. I finally threw away the scale and went "scale-less" for about 5 years.

    Now I'm weighing for the "weigh to win" program where they reward you if you lose weight. Apparently I'm motivated by being paid to lose weight! :-)

    It's working for me along with My Fitness Pal and my trusty pedometer.

    This ^^^^ - but I only log the Monday morning result.

    I accept there are temporary ups and downs during the week, but personally, I need to see what's happening...........

    I weigh my elf as often as I can catch him. So maybe every 6 weeks or so. He's a quick little guy!

    I do it everyday but you gotta remember that it fluxuates on a number of variables.

    I'm one of those "every morning after you pee" people but I'm going to try to only weigh in on Sundays so that I am not discouraged by fluctuations.

    For me, I try to only weigh myself every Monday morning after I've peed and in my birthday suit (more accurate that way). Once a week is sufficient for because anymore than that and I'll rip my hair out if my scale says I've gained even though I know weight can fluctuate during the day/week.
