    Once a week. But I try not to get too into just weight. I do measurements as well.

    I weight whenever I remember to, which is usually every 3 or 4 weeks. I prefer to go by the tape measure. I've lost an inch off my waist in the last couple of weeks but the scales haven't moved.

    Once a week... though some times I admit, I DO want to weigh in during that week, but I don't. When I do, I end up getting discouraged...

    Mornings when I get up, and then before bed. It's what I need to do to keep myself on track. Many would disagree, but it's got to be what works for you and your brain as you make this journey your own!!

    In the morning and then before bed. I like to see how the weight fluctuates, it actually KEEPS me from getting discouraged.

    I log every week, but I do weigh myself every day.

    Every time I'm near a scale, just about. So yes, two to three times a day, if not more. At this point I just do it out of curiosity for some things more than anything. Though I do care what it says every morning. It never upsets me but it helps me see trends based on what I ate the day before. I don't log with each change, though; I like to see if it'll stick around for a while. Generally I log once a week, if not less frequently.

    I weigh myself every day, I occasionally miss a day just because I forget, but on the whole I'm pretty consistent with it. It records on here automatically so all I have to do is stand on the scales :) Because I use the WiThings scale, I have a graph of all my weigh-ins & being able to see how much weight CAN fluctuate + or - 2lbs day to day reminds me that its normal, but I usually go up 1lb, down 2, up 1, down 2, which I'm more than happy about :D

    Sometimes I do it first thing in the morning AND last thing at night, just so I can see what's happened to me overnight haha

    When I'm keeping track, I weigh every day or every other day. Some days I'm retaining water, and if I only weigh in one day a week, I can come up a couple pounds heavier or lighter depending on what I ate the previous day.

    I weigh and record the results once a week, but I must admit I actually check in with the scale every morning.

    Morning & Night, only log when I record a full lb drop two mornings in a row.

    Like most who do the same, its a combination of curiosity, motivation, and accountability for me. Its important to find what works for you though, perhaps try a period of daily weighing and a period of weekly weighing, see which one works better.

    When im on track i weigh daily. When i jump ship I'll wait to weigh till I've been on track for a week.

    first thing in the morning after waking up and using the washroom :)

    Also randomly throughout the day. I now know that my heaviest is around 4pm and my lightest is first thing in the morning. Sometimes I do it right before bed and then I know whether the scale will go down in the morning or not.

    I used to log weight loss about once a week but since I'm doing the 30 day shred, I'm waiting until that's all over before I log in the loss.

    I use a tape measure once a month.

    Official weigh in is every sunday morning when I record the results. On other days I weigh before I exercise and after just to see how much difference there is

    every day! i need to stop.. it's not helping. i need to start doing it once a week/weeks or once a month to see my progress.

    I maybe weigh myself once every other month, if that. I go by how I look and how I fit in my clothes. But I'm not actively trying to lose weight, just trying to maintain and stay healthy. If you are going to use a scale, I'd recommend not weighing in any more than once every 4 days or so. There are way too many things that can cause the number to fluctuate and discourage you.

    In the morning as soon as I wake up, then again before bed. It really keeps me on track and aware of the changes in my body. I know some people are against it, but I don't see how it's so bad.

    I Try to every morning before I eat, after bathroom time. :o) It keeps me on track. when you eat horrible and see the results, you know exactly what did it. And it's better than weighing in a week later and discovering you've gained like 4 lbs..

    I weigh in every morning, but only record on Monday mornings. Not sure how often I'll measure, since I just started. I would hate to see numbers that aren't encouraging, so I'm probably going to measure every other week.
