    I weigh daily if I can (was on a cruise and scale was in gym--didn't weigh because I typically remove EVERYTHING). I record it in MFP and find it helpful for trends (i.e. lots of salt = high weight, alcohol = high weight), and it keeps me focused. Now when I start to trend upward I can do something about it before 2 lbs becomes 20.

    Daily, with an electronic scale.
    I really like the decimal point. If I lose even .1 pound, that feels very good to me.

    I weigh once a week and log once a week. i know your weight changes through the day but if i see that scale up and down i cringe so for me every Sunday morning...even though sometimes I really want to in the middle of the week lol

    I do my weight and measurements at the end of each month. I started MFP a few weeks ago so I am looking forward to my first check in. When i lost weight before I found it more rewarding to only do it monthly. The numbers were bigger :)

    I weight myself three days a week. Deadlifts on Monday, squats on Wednesday, bench on Friday.

    Ha! Awesome!

    Right now I am weighing myself once a week, so I do not get discouraged. I know that my weight may flucuate from time to time due to a heavy meal or more water intake during the day.. Bottom line is, I don't want to get to weight conscious. This is a life time journey and I want to make it as simple as possible.

    This - plus log onto MFP every day and log everything !

    Sadly, I don't have a scale :( So, I weight myself at the gym. I go to the gym usually every night and if I have time, I do it there. Then I log it into MFP if there's a 2+ lb difference.

    Every weekday morning. I log every weekday morning as well.

    I think the long term pattern data will be interested to view. Although it's a bit discouraging to see "4lbs down!" next to a "2lbs down!" day sometimes - since weight fluctuates. But I like to see the progress.

    I dont have a scale at home so i weigh when im at a friends house. Keeps me from obsessing over every little fluctuation due to water or tom =) I try to focus more on how i look and feel rather than the number because its not always the best thing to go by.

    I was weighing in every morning, but I quickly got discouraged. Which led to me having a few bad days....so I stopped. I plan to check it every 3 days or so. :)

    I'm just wondering what everyone's habits are as far as #1 - How often do you weigh yourself? & #2 - How often do you log your weight onto MFP?

    I have joined the weigh in challenge and we weigh every Wednesday. I weigh at home daily, just to be on top of myself. I log in my weight loss:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Once a week, whether I want to or not! And I always plug it into MFP, though some weeks I turn off the option to show losses on my feed.

    I weigh myself every morning religiously. I don't expect to see a change, but it is a good habit to have, and it keeps me honest during the day. I update my weight on MFP about once per week.

    Daily, it helps me be more aware and the fluctuations don't normally bother me.

    As often as I can before and after exercise to see how much water I need to drink.
