    I weigh myself daily after my morning pee- naked as well. I wish I could last 3 months..... I feel that when I weigh myself daily, I hold myself accountable more. When I have gone months without checking my weight- I gain weight.

    Every other week.

    I weigh weekly, also take key measurements weekly (hips, bust & waist) as they can change even when the number on the scale doesn't budge.

    I try to weigh once a week or the weightloss becomes so miniscule its no longer a bonus,
    Better to see weight coming of in "lumps" rather than teaspoons, The motivation is greater then to carry on.

    If you weigh daily then your tempted to miss bits off your diet which can be dangerous,
    or put your body in starvation mode, and then you stop losing weight altogether :)

    I weigh myself every morning - same routine as several others here: get up, pee, weigh myself.

    There difference from one day to the next can be almost 2 lbs. so the daily weighing lets see through the noise of the short-term variation to the trend.

    I used to do it once a week and found it very inspiring. I'm going for once a month now, cos I want to see sudden drops!

    I'm only on week 2 of my diet so I've been weighing twice a week - especially since I've only just seen the scale move downwards this morning. I would have felt discouraged if I weighed myself everyday and saw no difference to begin with.

    Once I pass 6 weeks I'll start weighing myself more often.

    Every day. That way you know exactly where you stand and learn not to freak out if you gain a couple pounds.
    Weigh myself every day so I can understand how weight fluctuates.
    Every morning....
    I think it helps to see the fluctuations on the scale
    OK, I'm getting it. Weigh myself everyday so I don't freak out.
    I do see people who weigh in daily go into a panic over a pound weight gain
    Don't weigh yourself every day or you might freak out. :huh:
    Problem is if you do it every day your weight can fluctuate
    OK, I'm back on track don't weigh myself everyday.
    If you can't handle looking at the scale and seeing no loss or even a couple pound gain and not being discouraged.
    I don't know if I can handle this, I'm kinda freak'n out right now. I read all the posts over again and I don't know if  should weigh once a week or everyday. Maybe I should spend 5 minutes leaning about how weight can fluctuate. Once I understand that process it shouldn't matter if I weigh myself everyday, once a week or even once a month. Just a thought. :wink:

    I couldn't do it everyday, I would get way too obsessive about it. It may work for some people but it would be very bad for myself lol. I just started myself, only two days away from my first weigh in since my original numbers were taken. I am doing a bi-weekly weigh in. My trainer suggested every two weeks because she says that there will be more of a significant change over the course of two weeks, which will help to act as a motivator to continue the fight :) I weigh myself on Fridays as well, after a long week of hard working out and eating well.

    I weigh every day, sometimes several times a day, but I am trying to train myself not to as I DO get disheartened if I don't see what I want to see and as an emotional eater this can be dangerous.

    So, i'd say ideally once a week - but it's a work in progress for me!

    I tend to do it every morning, even though I shouldn't. While I won't "freak out" if I see an increase (and it's been up as much as 4 pounds, which boggles my brain), it does tend me to make me think in the realm of "and I'm trying for what, again?" :noway:

    I only record on Sundays, though. I figure that there's no point in my recording it every single day when it's only .2, .4 up or down. That would drive me batty.
