    Every morning and I keep track of it on a graph on a phone app. Daily weighing is one of my maintenance tools (I weighed daily while losing weight too).

    I weigh myself daily, just to get a general idea of where I am at. My official weigh in is every 2 weeks at my doctor's office. I wear clothes and shoes. I try to wear the same thing each visit - jeans, t-shirt, sneakers. My weigh in is in about an hour.

    Seems although a lot of people weigh in everyday, didn't realise it was so common. I've always felt tempted to and I guess it makes sense to see your ups and downs. I'm definitely gonna do that and start taking averages, still love that idea!!

    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.
    I do the same and consider the average of 3 days to see the trend.

    I honestly haven't weighed in a long time. I go by how my clothes fit. If they feel tight, I eat a bit less. I don't usually have the too loose problem though. I used to weigh daily, or even a bunch of times a day, and all it did was make me stressed when I gained so much as a half a pound.

    I typically weigh daily, first thing in the morning. My official weigh in day is Wednesday; that's when I record it on MFP and give my +/- to my trainer.
    I've noticed that it's been getting to me more and more though (the daily weigh-ins) so I think I may try the averaging thing that another poster mentioned. What a great idea!

    Every few days. I've broken with the daily morning ritual. Too obsessive.

    Once a week, Saturdays, same time and using the same scale. I have moved away from everyday weigh-ins. This was too much for me!

    Well my diet/exercise plan has started today and will go for 14 weeks where I will lose 7kg of fat! yayyy
    It happened to start on Saturday, so I will weigh myself every Saturday morning first thing in the morning. Just once a week is fine.

    Notice that fat weighs less than muscle. As in muscle is much denser

    I weigh myself everyday. I can handle the worse days I also know that I shouldn't take it to heart during my monthly cycle.

    I use to weigh myself every single day but then I stopped because I knew some days I would be facing something very unpleasant. I cannot weigh in weekly because that is way too long without weighing myself. I have tried before and failed completely, lol. So, to make this easier for me, I weigh in 'randomly. Meaning, whenever I want to. Haha. So, overall, I weigh in at least 3 times a week.

    I was weighing myself every Monday morning. My scale went caput a little bit ago so it's been awhile since I've weighed myself. Probably for the best. ;)

    I finally realized that for myself and to be sure I am staying on track, I need to weigh myself every morning.
