    In the morning after you've made a deposit at the porcelain bank.

    Sorry guys, I should have said how frequent haha
    I mean like once a week/month or twice a week etc

    I tend to weigh myself first thing in a morning too.

    Thanks for all your replies!

    I weigh in first thing every Monday morning, immediately after using the restroom, before I eat or drink anything.

    The first of every month..otherwise I'd getting too hung up on the numbers. It seems to be working - I lost 14 pounds last month! (the first month..)

    I find that if I don't know how I'm doing - I tend to push myself more..

    Every Friday. My company has some weight loss thing and weigh-in is on Friday.

    Every Sunday morning pre-breakfast and post-bathroom. I wear clothes but not shoes.
    I personally wouldn't be able to wait a month to find out if I've lost weight!

    That's a really sensible way to do it I think.
    I'd be exactly like you and get too focussed on how much I've lost if I was doing it a couple of times a week.
    I guess I can only try different methods and see what works best for myself.

    Congratulations on the 14lbs loss though! that's awesome!

    I weigh and record every Wednesday morning. During the rest of the week, I might weigh if I've had a particularly good or bad day... just for motivation. I also do not get freaked out by fluctuations, so it's no big deal.

    Good point! I'd be chomping at the bit to find out, especially if I felt like I had lost some, I'd be desperate to know!

    I usually weight on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. And it's better to do it at the same hour everytime. I use to do it at 6 or 7 PM so I see the differences between everytime I weight myself :smile:

    At least daily. I just think its interesting to see the differences in weight over the course of the days and weeks. I only record when it's lower than I've recorded before and don't worry about the fluctuations.

    Almost daily for me, although I do not count weekend weigh-ins since I sleep a bit later and have normally gone to the bathroom a few more times than during the week.

    I only count weigh-ins that occur first thing in the morning, before 6:30 am, after urination only, either naked or undies only. Only a sip of water to take a pill - no other influences like eating or drinking or showering or working out, etc.

    I know my weight fluctuates some and I need many numbers per week so that I can get a real feel for my weight (basically an average of the numbers) versus getting upset because you weighed on a high day or getting excited about a low number that might be a bit of a fluke that makes your next weigh-in look bad.

    ^^^^^ This, also it allows me to focus on improving myself rather than be OCD about numbers. Rather be healthy than a number.

    Currently I weigh daily as I'm interested in my fluctuations and patterns but the only one that 'counts' and that I record on here is my Friday morning weigh in.
