I aim for once a week, but when things are going well, I'm itching to get on the scales every other day. It may also encourage to me to stay accountable and on track.

    Same, I do it every weekend, on a Monday morning, but for a little boost or to see where I am, I hop on the scale. :)

    Whenever I feel like it, I don't have a schedule. Usually once a day, in the morning... sometimes not.

    every other day usually works for me!
    if i'm having a bad week, i usually stick to once a week

    it's different for everyone, so you might have to try a few different methods before getting it!

    I weigh daily and record on a Monday. I will only record a weight loss on a Monday if I have seen that weight for a few days leading up. I weigh before eating in the mornings.
    Good luck.

    I weigh every day. I like to see the fluctuations and trends. If you want to weigh more often than weekly, go for it, just be very aware that weight can fluctuate a lot day-to-day, and don't let that discourage you. Try to look at your average weight over a few days and whether that average is trending downwards or not.

    LOL. Yes. It can become quite an obsession. Plus I don't want to get discouraged by the fluctuations. I also measure - seems to be more indicative of progress than weight.

    I weigh myself every day so I can ensure I am staying on track, but I know not to freak out at every fluctuation. I weigh-in once per week.

    I record on Fridays. I was stepping on the scale midweek to see progress but I stopped that. I do measurements once a month.

    while I was trying to lose I weighed once a week, on Friday's.
    Except for Thanksgiving week, I weighed on Thursday morning :) Now that I have reached my goal I weigh when ever.

    Once every week or two. I like to see progress even if it's only a couple of ounces. If I weigh more often it tends to get me down.

    I weigh every Monday morning. I think weighing more often than that gives false readings and, if it's worse than you were expecting, it could have a negative impact on your focus for the rest of the week.

    On the 1st and 15th of each month. Eventually I'm going to stop weighing altogether (whenever I am happy with what I see!)

    First thing Sunday morning. I also take measurements at the beginning of each month.
