Just curious! I tend to weigh myself twice a week - Wednesday and Saturday!

Every single day, first thing in the morning - after I take a wizz. This way, I can see trends and how what I eat affects my weight and BF%. After you wake up is also the most consistent time of the day to weigh yourself.0

Every morning.0

Every day here too. I like to know where I am. But, I only log my weight on Tuesday and Friday.0

i don't weigh0

Every Tuesday morning right after I get up.0

My "official" weigh ins are on Wednesday, but sometimes I weigh 2 or 3 times a week...only in the mornings though or I will get depressed.0

Every morning. I write down daily weights and average them once a week for the total picture. This evens out daily highs and lows. The suggested once-a-week for accuracy could still catch you in a deceptive high or low. Averaging is the way I roll.0

Oh yeah, shlluld have said, first thing in the morning is also when I do it! I think it gives a more accurate weigh in. Also someone has mentioned an average, thats quite a good idea!!0

Every day, first thing in the morning. I figure this is good practice for maintenance when I'll be experimenting with calorie levels.0

Every morning here as well. Seeing daily fluctuations helps me not freak out over a gain of a couple pounds and not get too excited over a big weekly loss. It's all about the overall trend.0

Most mornings but my only official weigh in day is friday0
-
Every day right after I'm done with my morning routine of bathroom, shower, brush teeth, run to my room in my towel, drop towel, weigh myself (yes, with wet hair--doesn't make too much difference when it's dry anyway).. LOL
But my official day had traditionally been thursdays but may change to Fridays(as it had been for this challenge I've been doing)..0 -
Every morning0

Normally - never- once ever 4-6 months.
right now?
Once in the morning after I pee.
Once at night after gym- before I shower
Record both.0 -
Every morning right when I wake up.0

I used to weigh every morning, but I read that wasn't good for you to do, so now I weigh every Friday morning.0

Like many others here, I weigh first thing in the morning every day. However, I try to keep an open mind to differences in water retention from day-to-day. So, it I'm a little higher than I expected, I don't beat myself up. As long as there is a general downward trend, I consider it a success. When it comes to recording my weight on MFP, I just record it when I've reached a loss of a pound from my last recorded weight, whenever that happens. I also try to keep in mind that weight isn't everything. It is, however, a good way to note progress and to help make your eating and exercise decisions. I went through a phase where I was lifting regularly and only did weigh-ins once a month. I found that the ritual of regular weighing had helped motivate me and keep me on track, so I went back to it.0

never, I do not even own a scale0

First thing in the morning after going to the bathroom. I only weight myself once in a blue moon...0
-
Every single morning right after I get up. And if I am home at 11am or around there - I weigh myself then also. It is the sweet spot for me and my lowest weight of the day. Totally obsessed and so glad of it. Since I quit logging, and in maintenance before my next loss it is what keeps me on track.0
