    I weigh myself everyday but I record when I see a loss that is consistent for a few days. Major measurement and weight recordings are done monthly though.

    Around Wednesday on here. I have an app on my phone where I record it daily to see the trend on the graph so I don't bother MFP friends with my daily weights.

    I weigh every day, but I only record my Saturday morning weight

    Me, too. Unless it's up from TOM or something

    I record it the FIRST time I see that new number on the scale... then I don't record again until I see another new number. I don't worry about the fluctuations, I know they're going to happen. I just record the first time I see the number and ignore the scale when it bounces back up a pound or two. The only time I record a gain is if it's an actual gain of weight due to falling off the wagon!

    Wednesday is my weigh-in day. I also record my measurements once a month on the first Wednesday of the month.

    Typically Monday morning. If it's a new low, I usually don't count it unless it's been at least 2-3 days because of normal fluctuations.

    I track each week - up or down - so I can see how it relates to how I ate/exercised (or didn't) that week.

    This is what I do, too.

    i check my weight and record my weight every 4 weeks (so every month pretty much)
    that way i can see the progress and feel good about myself and not think that i am not losing any pounds.

    Every morning. I like to understand and track my fluctuations.

    I record right after I stop jumping up and down and squealing.

    I try to weigh in on wednesday mornings as soon as I get up cuz its midway thru the week. But on wks where I'm out of town on the wk-end or something and not sure how much I burned by just movement instead of regular excercise then I will weigh in after that just to see where i'm at.

    I only record my weight when it goes to a new low. Most of the time my weight goes up/down/up/down .... and it's too depressing to record all that.

    I always get excited when I see new numbers on the scale, but I never record that day. I always weigh myself in the morning so it's somewhat consistent and before breakfast so it's usually a bit lower, which is a nice ego boost :P

    I record my weight change as down by 1 pound if I've been lower than my current weight for at least 3 days, sometimes more if I know I'm going to be eating a lot during a weekend. I usually do just 1 pound a week because my weight can fluctuate so much each day. It's also nice because if I lose more then only record 1 pound, I can go back up without feeling like I gained. Mostly, it's just to record overall progress.

    Like now I'm recording I'm at 194, but I've been between 191 and 193 at various times since I last recorded the weight, and assuming I'm lower 193 the next time I record [March 8th] I'll be set.

    Wednesday morning after I wake up. Same scale, same time, keep everything as close as possible to stay consistent and see most accurate results.

    This! but friday mornings for me

    Personally, I understand the fluctuations in weight and don't allow it to get me down... so I like to weigh myself every morning, first thing. However, I usually only log my weight on the site once a week, usually on Fridays. Even if it goes up, I think you get a more accurate tracking of your weight if you're consistent.
