    Everone has different times to weigh in. I chose to weigh in on the 15th and last day of the month. But I know alot chose to weigh in every week, just make sure you weigh in at the same time of day, like first thing in the morning.

    I would weigh in once a week, in the morning, prior to breakfast and naked so that it is always consistent. ;)

    In the office where I work we have a scale, and I constantly find myself weighing in. I figured that was a bad thing because sometimes it discourages me all together when I see those numbers. I've been told once you start a diet to only weigh in once a week so you can see how you are progressing.

    But it is nice when you see those numbers lower too.

    I'm trying to ween myself off of weighing in everyday. It can be very discouraging as your weight fluctuates so much due to water, so if you can once a week. Some people do it once a month. I'm not weighing myself again till Feb 1st. Always make sure to do it in the morning after you've used the bathroom as that's when you'll be the lightest :)

    Once a week, anymore than that you will get discouraged somedays your body will retain more water. Remember the more water u drink more it will take out your system

    My first weigh in was on a Monday morning, before breakfast & naked in the bathroom...so I do the same every week now.

    Right. What others have said. No more than once a week. In the morning (after a good night's sleep) after using the bathroom, before eating or drinking and naked. I say after a good night's sleep because for me, that is when I have the best weigh-ins. I get to sleep late on Saturday and Sunday, so I use one of those days to weigh in. It works for me!!
