    I weigh myself every Sunday morning first thing after I wake up, (well, second thing technically, after using the restroom, heh) wearing the exact same thing every single time.

    In the last few months, I've added a Wednesday morning, (same routine as above) check-in, but don't allow myself to jump on the scale any other time, no matter how much I want to.

    The only deviation from that was for about 19 days during the holidays where I was still tracking every bite, but being a bit looser with my calories and not working out. During that time I weighed myself almost every morning. More for the sake of interest then anything. I was intrigued by the general daily ups and downs and how much my weight could actually fluctuate during but still ultimately come out the same in the end.

    Great topic! I am obsessive about weighing myself, and want to every day..Unfortunately, I will get depressed when I don't see any weight loss or see weight increase due to bloating, menustrating, etc..And that sticks in my head the whole day..So, I finally had my boyfriend hide the damn thing. He said I can have it back in a week!

    Barberella:
    I'm that same way. I'm very competitive and I will dwell on things. If I don't see any progress, I get frustrated and depressed and then that just drives me to insanity, where I do things in excess trying to make things happen. Yes, my personality can easily lead to an eating disorder so I have to be careful.

    I weigh in every Friday morning. My wife and I have our weekly "cheat meal" every Friday night, so that gives me all week to work it off. :)


    What a great idea !!!!

    Once a week, Friday mornings :) Sometimes, if I feel like I am having a bad week and I need some reassurance, I will weigh myself on a Wednesday or something.

    I used to weigh daily but theirs too much fluctuation day to day....so I do a weekly weigh in every Thursday morning as soon as I get up and after a wee visit to the loo. :happy:

    I weigh myself daily to keep in check but I dont agonize over the number as I know day to day we hold water etc. Although I way myself everyday I generally concentrate on my Sundays weight!

    Ditto, but I focus on Friday mornings number.

    I weigh once a week. Monday morning when I first wake up, after I've gone to the bathroom and naked right before I jump in the shower. It seems to be the easiest way to get an accurate weight because each time I haven't eaten beforehand and I've emptied my body.

    Good luck!!
