Just curious. Every day seems excessive for me personally, maybe I'll do every week, same time (before eating, after using the bathroom first thing).

Once a week is the right amount. I used to do every day also and it just goes up and down that I started just weighing every Friday morning before I eat.0
-
Every day and I do not get discouraged by natural fluctuations, because I have one official weigh in day that I record my weight once a week, Friday mornings.0
-
every monday......sometimes im just curious and check more but its usually just every monday0
-
Once a week, when I have discipline, ha. It also prevents deterrents.0

My husband stole my scale haha.. I became obsessed and discouraged all at the same time. I focus on measurements now and I get my scale back every 30 days :0/0

I also weigh every day but record only on Friday mornings. It drives my fiance crazy, but I find it helps me stay motivated. I also track measurements once per month.0

I sometimes check during the week, but my official weigh in days are Friday mornings as soon as I get out of bed (after I use the bathroom of course)0
-
Friday AM - I log the weight, even if I gained. I like to see where the fluctations are. Keeps me honest.0

I used to weigh in once every week on sunday... but now I usually weigh once a month, and I find that is good for me!0

I do it once a week (like you said, same time, before eating, after going to the bathroom, haha!). I chose to do it on Friday morning with the thought that if I am a little more lax in my working out or paying attention to what I'm eating, I've got Monday through Thursday to get back on track. It's always worked for me:)0

I'm an every day weigh-er. It does help keep me on track and it's SO exciting to see the scale show me a lower number.0
-
Friday right after my early morning workout....i've done the several times a week then and almost driven myself crazy (see weight fluctuate 6 pounds from one day to another), so now I stick to once a week.0
-
I weigh myself most mornings. I log ALL losses and any gains 3 pounds or more. It keeps me motivated and I have a better idea of when my natural fluctuations occur. In other words, I'm beginning to REALLY know whether that 2 pound jump is really from Aunt Flo & Uncle Crampy or from my own weaknesses in the diet/fitness area.0

Everyday. Motivation if I gain or lose.0
-
I do it every day that I work out. I do it so that I get familiar with my trends. I tend to go up 4 pounds over the week end only to find that by Wednesday its back to where I thought it should be. I don’t get upset when the scales don’t register the way I would like but I do use it to drive me so I don’t slack up.0

Weigh In Wednesdays! I weigh in on Wednesdays and record the weight I see. Wednesdays because it is mid-week when I am more likely to be better disciplined. Mondays are the day after the weekend and I usually drink and eat a little more on those days. I usually weigh more on Mondays compared to later in the week because of water weight from the weekends.0
-
Like every 2 weeks... doing it frequently makes me a little obsessive.0
-
Every day, first thing, but post here no more than once a week, and only if I've lost more than a pound.0
-
I do just about every day and it does go up and down. This weekend I didn't as I was eatting so much, but checked this morning and was up 1-1/2,.
I've turned off my notification as Im just trying to maintain and get stronger, and didn't need the encouragement everytime.0 -
I check myself every monday morning at the same time... helps to be consistent with the time of day too...0
