    Friday morning. If i have a tendency to eat more on the weekend I have the following week to make up for it.

    My scale automatically uploads results so every morning I remember to weight myself first thing is official weigh day. That's most mornings. If I forget to weigh myself first thing I don't bother until the next day so it's consistent.

    I weigh every morning, after I use the bathroom and before I drink a glass of water to take my vitamins. I jot down my Body Fat %, Body Water %, BMI and weight on a lined pad. Been doing it 6 or 7 months now. I check-in here on Thursdays. Used to be Fridays, but I was going to be out of touch one Friday, so I switched it up.

    Today's numbers.

    Body Fat 21.6% {down .7 for the week}
    Body Water 57.1% { - .5}
    BMI 24.3 {- .4}
    Weight 173.9 {- 2.7}

    My goal weight is 176, so losing almost 3 pounds was not what I was trying to do. I'm trying to increase strength and gain muscle. Must eat more calories, or do less cardio. Or both.

    Always on a Saturday morning. This gives me a week to make up for eating too much on the weekend :)

    Mine is Saturday morning before breakfast. I weigh other times sometimes out of curiosity, but Saturday I weigh and track.

    I got in the habit of making Tuesday's my official day when I was working with a personal trainer (we met that day and he would do my monthly weight/measure on that day). It has worked as an 'average' day.

    Monday is my official weigh-in day simply because I started using MFP on a Monday. I weigh daily, first thing in the mornings after using the bathroom, so I can note trends and make corrections in my eating patterns, but only record officially on Mondays.

    Edited: I should note that Monday is my record day for MFP but I have an app on my phone where I record my daily weight.

    Every day. I know there will be fluctuations, but I like having all of the "data points."

    This.

    I weigh in every Thursday. I do not weigh between days. You can drive yourself crazy!!!! Watch for how the clothes fit -- that will tell you more than the scale

    Wednesday morning, as soon as I get out of bed. Hump day seems to be one that is easy to go with.

    Monday morning. It keeps me from cheating too much on my diet over the weekend.

    Friday first thing! Gives me a whole week to recoup just in case I didn't behave the weekend before.

    I like weighing in at the beginning of the week - it helps reset me for the coming week, and also helps keep me honest over the weekend when it's most challenging for me.

    I used to do Monday morning weigh ins, but now that I'm working with a dietician, my weigh in is my appointment with her, whenever it may be.

    Every 3-4 months when I go to the doctor. No need to check every week or two weeks and freak or get too excited, especially since my weight hasn't changed in 5 years.
