    I step on the scale every morning, keeps me in check! :-)
    Check my body fat about every few weeks to make sure it's also in check :-)

    My wife and I weigh in twice a day (morning and evening). This includes a body fat number from the scale as well. We record all of this on a sheet in the bathroom. I log the morning weight and % body fat online.

    Every day, but I don't really care about the numbers. I just want to make sure I'm either not gaining for a few days in a row, or staying put for a week or more. If I do then I try to change something.

    It is great to weight all the time when you're losing..then it is not so great when you plateau. haha. You need to weigh to make sure you're heading in the right direction. But i'd say do it every week or two..and daily when you maintain.

    I log my weight on Wednesday morning, first thing. (Mondays are bad enough I don't want to do it then LOL) If I am curious, I will jump on the scale, but don't hold all your faith on that number! :-)

    I weigh myself every morning and record it in my weekly planner. My scale keeps me from going on an eating binge :)

    once a week is fine...the only true fluctuation is water weight which is sometimes good to know... I weigh before and after so i can drink enough water so i dont dehydrate..the biggest thing to focus on is not how much you weigh but how you feel, look, how certain cloths fit..etc best measure

    I only record once a week (Monday morns) but I'll weigh myself most every morning, and every night just to see how my daily eating/activities may be affecting things.

    I do once a week, but the time in between kills me. I like to see a bigger drop at once then a bunch of little drops. I used to do the every day thing, but I got obsessed with it.

    Once every few days. I try to give myself time to make progress so I'm not discouraged.

    I try to weigh in once a week, but I definitely know how easy it is to want to weigh in more than once when the scales going down! (especially in the beginning). I usually weigh in twice a week.

    I weigh myself every morning. I can fluctuate 2-3 lbs in a day so I like to track often. I don't worry about a gain as long as after one week it's still down.

    I agree. Weighing everyday is good. I think it keeps you focused better

    I weigh and log every time I go to the gym. Get changed into shorts and a t-shirt, weigh, workout, weigh, change again. It's routine, and it's just a number.

    My attitude is that as long as there is a consistent downward trend, then it doesn't matter what the actual number says.
