How often do you weigh in?

I'm just starting out and tempted to weigh myself every morning. I'm sure it will be motivating in this first week as pounds seem to drop quickly at first, but I'm wondering if this is a good idea for the long run. I think once a week would be a good idea but I don't think I could wait a whole week between weigh-ins!

How often do you weigh yourself? And how often do you update your weight on this site?

    I personally weigh myself every Wednesday and not only enter it in here but also have a chart hanging on wall at home with dates and weigh in totals. It helps motivate me!

    I just got a scale for Christmas...I have been weighing myself at my parents' house once a week. With my scale at home, it is pretty tempting to weigh myself every day...I am trying to defy temptation and weigh-in just once a week.

    I'm a compulsive weigher. I just got a new digital scale for Christmas so, i'm constantly jumping on to see where I'm at. I find it keeps me motivated! And I log it on here whenever I notice a difference in my morning weigh in.

    I weigh in every morning. This way I know if I am staying on track. I log it every day too. I am sure my friends on FB will soon get tired of seeing it posted, but oh well. It is my motivation!!

    I weigh myself every morning, but only log once or twice a week.

    I cant seem to wait to do it weekly. I tend to do it at least every other day

    ...I understand that I am going to fluctuate regularly so I don't get upset with that ups and downs.

    Good for you if you can wait to do it weekly!

    I do it twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. I report it here too, even if my weight goes up.

    I weigh myself mostly every day. Sometimes I don't. I think it has really helped me to understand exactly how my routine affects my body. Plus, instead of getting me down when I see a little weight gain, I just know it's time to get back with the program!

    I say weigh yourself whenver you want, multiple times a day if it's what keeps you motvated!

    LMAO- I do the same thing. Sometimes I even say "I'm nneeekkkiiddd" outloud. Is that weird?

    Either way, I normally record my losses on Wednesdays.

    I used to do weigh ins all the time, and sure you see your weight either dropping slightly or yo-yoing. I've just started so I want to see if I can check in every Thursday (start of my weekend) and go from there :)

    I check in every other Sat, first thing in the morning. I don't have a scale I use the WII fit board and I know if I tried to do it every morning I would run late for work! I find that spacing out my weigh ins I work even harder to make sure that it goes down.

    I weigh in every morning to keep on track.
    I try not to let the yo yoing get to me.
    I have to be accountable that is what
    works for me. Good Luck!!

    I weigh and record the weight daily per my doctors orders. I try to weigh at the same time daily.
