How often do you weigh yourself?

    I weigh daily and here's why: If I weigh myself only once a week I would allow myself too many cheats within that week with the reasoning that "oh I have 5 days until I weigh in, this will be off by then" etc. If I'm accountable everyday I find I rarely allow myself any cheats. It took me a long time to figure this out but it's been working great for me!

    Every Saturday morning for me. I do step on during the week, but my weight fluctuates drastically during the week that it can be quite frustrating if I let it get to me. The number on the scale can definitely mess with your mind!

    I used to weigh once a week, but now it's more like every 2 weeks, since my weight loss has slowed the closer I get to goal. I get frustrated. LOL Once I am in maintenance I will weigh daily I think.

    Every day. Weighing daily helps me see the fluctuations after sushi, after wine night, when I ovulate(d), with PMS, etc. etc. etc. Helps me see trends, and thus not stress over the daily ups and downs.

    Every morning before coffee and breakfast. And then before and after exercise. I just want to be sure that this weight i lost - is really lost! I still can't believe it when i see i am 25 lbs down! Really - I can't!

    i used to do it everyday but it determined my whole daily mood and what i ate and controlled my life pretty much so now its either once a week, or when i notice a little change in the mirror and want to know if its just me being positive, or a real change

    Every day!

    The little ups and downs don't bother me. As long as I see a downward trend in general. I think it really keeps me focused. I know I am doing the right things when I see results.

    Whenever I remember to - probably a couple of times a week - some weeks I forget. I've been on maintenance for a couple of years now and it's always the same (or up or down a pound depending on the time of the month :wink: ) every time. It's boring and predictable, but in a good way. :drinker:

    Everyday under the same circumstances (after I pee, etc). I do the same as an above PP and I weigh myself a few times in a 5-10 min period and take the lowest number. I prefer to weigh daily.

    every morning after i pee. The scale ALWAYS tells the truth. It might now be the truth i want to hear (like the day after a cheat meal showing water retention) but it always tells the truth.

    and i sometimes weigh in at night before bed just to show fluctuation.

    every Monday morning..i used to do it every day but always got disappointed when I gained a pound sometime during the week. For me its better once a week. I get better, accurate results.

    Used to be daily then i found out my scale is a hateful b!tch and now i only weigh in once a month with my trainer. I have found my tape measure to be a more accurate reading than the scale to begin with.

    Just after midnight on Friday morning. I just think that measuring your weight every day could be emotionally detrimental as I think that a persons weight would likely yo-yo and go up and down daily.

    Every morning unless I'm on holidays but this week I managed to stay off it for a few days and I'm rather proud of myself.

    Officially, once a week on Wednesday afternoons as part of a medically monitored program. Unofficially, maybe 2-4 times a week, if I have my scale with me.
