I haven't been on a scale in months. I hate them, they are inaccurate and you might actually show a gain if you are turning fat into muscle. I use a pair of pants as a measure. The looser the pants, the better I'm doing.0

I weigh myself as often as I want. But to find out my EXACT weight, I do it in the morning before I eat or drink anything.0

I don't weigh myself unless at the doctor office. I judge my weight by how my clothes fit.0

I probably weigh myself 4 or 5 times a week - first thing in the morning.0

I weigh every day because weight fluctuates up and down every day. It has helped me to understand what makes my weight fluctuate, and to emotionally detach myself from the number on the scale. If I gain 2 lbs overnight, I know it's no big deal. If I weighed once a week and saw a 2 lb gain, I'd be wondering what I'd done wrong. If I weigh every day and see a 0.5 lb increase every day for a week, I'd start thinking something wasn't quite right, and adjust my diet.
I weigh first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom, before jumping in the shower.
I'm doing this as well. While weight is not consistent every day I like to see the trends- I would hate to weigh myself once a week if that one day happened to be a "gain day".0 -
Thursday mornings at work. Clothes on, no shoes. The scales read heavier than I actually am, so it's nice knowing that I am a few lbs lighter, but I've been using them since day one so I consider them my standard.0

I weigh once a day, in the morning. its probably a bad habit but it helps keep me focused and on track for the day.0

I weigh once a day when I'm losing and maybe once a week if I start gaining0

Try not to weigh yourself too much. Womens weight sees to fluctuate depending on monthly cycles and hormones. I only weigh myself every 2-3 weeks. Go by the feel of your clothing getting looser.0
