    I weigh daily every morning as soon as I get up but only record weekly. That way you can see how you're doing but dont have to worry about the usual daily fluctuations :)

    I don't have a scale in the house and don't feel the need to go out and get one. I can feel my body changing all the time. I feel lighter or thinner or see my face slimmer I notice all the tiny changes in my body. I am curious as to whether or not other people feel this too. That said I go to the doctor once a month and they weigh me.

    Every day. Much easier to see a pattern. Now I know how my weight loss works and I laugh if I put on 2 lbs.

    Honestly this is completey up to you and how weighing yourself makes you feel. Everyone told me i should ONLY weigh in once a week. However, if i gained weight i would not know what caused it and i felt like i lost days where i could not correct the weight gain. SO now i weigh myself every morning. I know a lot of people will say that it is not good to do but it works for me. I only record my weight progress on Monday mornings tho. I use to do it on fridays but recording on mondays keeps me accountable on the weekends. I also will measure myself every other Monday. This helps when the scale doesnt move.

    Just remember if you weigh yourself everyday you have to prepare yourself in advance that the scale may go up throughout the week. But it will also help you to see how certain foods affect you and also how different activitiy levels will affect you too.

    But again you have to find what works for you. that might be once a week, twice a week, every other day or everyday. What works for one will not work for all.

    Good luck to you!

    Every day or every other day, but I record only once a week. Like a lot of posters here, I get a better idea of my "habits" good or bad if I do it more frequently. I have learned not to let it bother me if I have a slight up like a pound if I know I have been good. It also helps me when I way frequently to stay more faithful cause I know I will be weighing myself soon.

    Every day but I only record on Friday if I lost. I measure on the last day of the month.
