    Every morning before I get dressed. If the scale goes up I know it is time to start watching the salt a little more closely. But I only post my weight on here one per week.

    Every day. I'm no longer surprised by my body's ups and downs.

    1X week, but that is because I haven't bought a scale yet. I'm sure if I had a scale at home, I'd be in there like twice a day. So maybe it is good that I don't buy one :)

    twice a day - listing the morning check into MFP and the evening one to monitor my body's reaction to food... I've started looking at myself as a "science" experiment anymore... :laugh:

    Twice a week - Wednesday and Sat or Sun. Helps me stay accountable. I don't freak out over minor changes though.

    I recently bought a scales and I am tempted to do it everyday, but stop myself and do it about 3 times a week... In the past i simply tried on a pair of jeans i was trying to fit back into until they were just right - my weight fluctuates daily and i find this has a negative affect on my progress. plus scales dont always show the inches lost from exercise.

    Once a week on Tuesday morning's in the buff after using the restroom and before eating/drinking anything. And I measure every 2 weeks.

    once a week. weighing every day can be very discouraging.

    Ugh. Every day. I can't help it.

    But I only update my weight on here after I've maintained the same (or very close) weight for at least two days. Just to be sure one day was not a fluke. :)

    usually, every 3-5 days

    When I lost weight years ago, I weighed myself 3 times a day, and plotted out the results. I treated my weight loss "scientifically."
    I wouldn't recommend it though, because it is too often.

    Typically once a week.. Sunday's, but when I'm feeling good.. twice a week.

    weekly, on Wednesdays, in the buff after my morning bathroom trip and before i eat anything... I figure I eat more in general and especialy more sodium on the weekends so by Wednesday the effects of the sodium are out of my system and I can see and prepare for the next weekend if i need to step it up (and close the fridge)

    Once a week on Saturday morning.
    Measure once per month.
    Messes with my mind if I weigh more than once a week.

    Once every 2 to 3 weeks. This is my long-term, forever lifestyle. I am losing this weight but it's a slow process, so no need to sweat it pound by pound every day. I love seeing a big drop in weight every 2 to 3 weeks! Talk about motivation. In between, I estimate what I think I've lost since I last weighed, and I work extra hard to make sure the scale reflects that the next time I weigh.
