    Every two weeks - after bathroom break but before eating that day.

    I have been doing it daily, but recently I had a reading that I had gained 5lbs. Now I know that I can't gain 5lbs in a day and that it's just water weight but that really frustrated me. So I have decided that I will weigh in less often. I think I won't do it again until July 1st and see how that works for me.

    I step on the scale and log it every day. When it's down, I love it. Makes me happy, helps me to take note of what I did right the day before. When it goes up, it motivates me, challenges me, helps me to reevaluate what I did the day before. It usually makes sense as to why it went up or down.

    Me too!! I step on the scale in the morning and before I go to bed.

    If it goes up, I figure out where maybe I went wrong (maybe too many carbs, or I've had rice). It doesn't really discourage me much, I'll just work harder the next day :)

    I weigh every day and then take an average so that I end up with a weekly weight. Gives me a better idea of my losses throughout the month.

    I weigh every day after my morning workout, but I only log it on Tuesdays (my official weigh in day)

    I step on the scale every night and I read its not bad to do it daily. Sometimes when I did good the day before I also weight myself in the morning to see a 'low' number and then I'm happy lol.
    I also try to wear nothing so I don't stand there wondering how much my clothes weight :)

    I'm one that steps on my scale every morning. I've read no, only once a week, the same day each week, at the same time wearing the same clothes, or no clothes. My weight fluctuates a couple pounds every couple of days. How do I break the habit of weighing myself every morning, when my mind has to be conscious of what I eat and making sure to exercise since I have a very sedentary job??? UGH :angry:

    Why bother "breaking habit"? Just do what you do and do not worry about it

    I weigh daily, for much the same reasons as you. It suits some of us, others it does not, bit like food / diet, do what suits you and not some idealistic goal

    I totally agree. I weigh everyday and that helps me keep on track as well. Why fix it if it's not broken???

    Ok. I'm so glad I'm not alone. Here I was feeling guilty for weighing everyday.

    I just broke myself from the habit of weight 3-4 times a day 2 weeks ago. THAT helps me quite a bit.

    I am trying to break the habit of 3-4 times a day!!!

    3 times a day.

    I like to make sure my deficit is not too high or small.

    I "TRY" to only weigh in once a week.
    However that is not usually how it goes.. Sometimes I will weigh in in the morning and if my weight is up from previous days I end up weighing myself 3-4 times over that day to see if it was an error or if it went down.

    Every time I workout in the gym (roughly 3x per week).

    If weighing yourself is something that you feel like you NEED to do, then record your weight every day on a graph. (get some graph paper, or just use your fitness pal app.) that way you'll be able to see where your average is traveling over the weeks. Up or down. :) that's what I do.
