    Daily...however I do a little self talk prior to getting on the scale so that if it is up that I don't get discouraged and dwell on the number. The scale is only one measure of progress. :happy:

    I'm weighing myself every morning; right after I urinate and strip. I think weighing yourself in the morning is better because you shed water weight overnight. For me, the difference between weighing the night before and the morning after is 2 lbs.

    I agree with this!!

    Usually once a week, Saturday morning! Though lately, I've been doing a middle of the week weigh-in too. I need to stop being so paranoid :P

    Some people create charts. We had a family chart. In fact, some scales create an electronic chart for you.

    One high or low value doesn't matter as long as the trend is downwards.

    I weigh in every day and log it in Excel. I use a digital scale that also gives me body fat.

    I have a formula that throws out the high and low numbers each week and then averages the remaining numbers. I then graph each week's average so that I can see how my weight is trending.

    This way if I eat too much one day, it's not going to hurt anything but I can still see the effects that it had on my weight so that I know what to expect in the future if I do the same thing.

    I weigh myself every day to see how I'm doing. At times I get depressed because it is hard to believe a person can lose or gain 2 pounds or more in a day. I only write it down once a week on Thursday. I was doing it on Monday but I found it better to wait a couple of days after a weekend.

    Every single day, first thing in the morning~ if you have a digital scale, you have the reward of seeing ounces gone each day. That's a real boost to keep me motivated. Otherwise, I lose focus.

    First thing in the morning, every day.
    You get to know your daily fluctuations better IMO.

    Every few days, right after getting up, and completely naked. I only want to enter it here once a week, because of fluctuations.

    I weigh myself twice a week but only one counts, if that makes sense. I do a preview on Wednesday, but my official weigh in day is Friday. Whatever I weigh on Friday, is the weight that I write down for the week.

    Why Friday? Because then I can relax a little and maybe splurge over the weekend. :drinker:

    HI there. I weigh in every Friday morning. I keep it at the same time, and same place. I make sure I weigh in before breakfast. And I keep what I am wearing at the time the same. I find that if I weigh my self daily I easily get discouraged as weight fluctuates so much day to day. I do measurements about every two weeks and record those as well. I picked Friday as my weigh in day as it is the day before the weekend. I tend to not watch what I eat as carefully on the weekends, so Friday I weigh in I enjoy the weekend and then I have till the next Friday to get my *kitten* in gear!!!!!!
