    Generally once a week, but sometimes check it in the middle of that cycle just to see if I am on track.

    Once a week. I try to set my weigh-in day after my rest day to reduce water retention in my muscles.

    SO THAT may be why I tend to weigh more the morning after I work out!!!! I couldn't figure it out - why I'd weigh more than I did a few days before! Great tip!

    I weigh every morning, then on Saturday I take the average of those weights and record it as my weekly weight. To track actual weight loss/gain, I compare the average weekly weights.

    Never do lol, the tightness of my clothes is an accurate enough measurement for me

    I weigh myself every morning. It keeps me honest; however, I do not obsess about the inevitable fluctuations due to exercise, sodium, etc. I'm just looking for the trend to be down.

    I weighed daily first thing in the morning while on a strict diet. It kept me focused. I know weight fluctuates daily, but if it does, I don't want to miss the low by weighing just once a week! What if that's my high for the week? LOL I like to see how salt and eating out affects my weight in. Eating out a night (rarely) actually seems to cause my weight to go down a pound or two temporarily for some reason. Perhaps I don't work out on those days, I'm not sure.

    Someone on the boards, Haybaler, I think, reminded me that you should adjust machines back up to your mid-day, clothed weight to get a more accurate calorie burn on exercise eqmt and HR monitors. You are moving more weight. Great point!

    Once a day out of habit now that I found the scale and made it a convenient part of my morning get up routine in the bathroom -- with the understanding and acceptance that there will be fluctuations. As an engineer I know how to draw a smooth line through the data and hopefully see the right trend over time... -)

    No kidding, when I feel... skinnier. Haha. I can't explain. I mean, most of us have been fat here, and you just feel heavy. But you begin to lose weight and it's like walking is easier suddenly, less weight to carry. So yeah, I weigh on those days. Haha.

    But honestly, it's all in my head because the scale rarely agrees. XD;

    As for when I weigh I always weigh in the morning before eating and after bathroom. ( • u • ) d

    I weigh myself every morning. I've only been doing it for a month and I'm finding it really interesting. I track it on my phone on the Withings app so I have a pretty little graph charting my progress. I always used to think weighing yourself everyday was ridiculous but now I'm doing it I'm finding it quite interesting. The more I do it, the more I think it's a good idea. If I didn't weigh everyday, I would have been quite discouraged once or twice by now by the numbers I would have seen only once a week. I also find it kind of fascinating how my body does/ doesn't react to certain things. Plus, I just really like my pretty graph to be honest.

    Every two weeks on Friday after work at the health clinic. I don't even keep a scale at home. I don't want to get caught up in " scale fever "....:o). I am a member for 32 days now and have lost as of last week 8.8 pounds......

    When I started, four times a day (to see my normal fluctuations so I didn't panic every time the scale went up a pound). After I got a good handle on that, Once a day (early morning). After about 30 pounds, once a week...and now, monthly

    I'm usually a daily person but only record one weight a week (same day each time).
    That being said, I refused to stop on today after chinese for lunch yesterday and ham for dinner - I know it's just a number, but I couldn't face the scales after a day with that much sodium :)
