I'm sure this has been asked before, but how often do you weigh in? Daily? Weekly? Just curious!

    People say not to but I weigh myself daily. I helps me to keep on track and seeing those .2 pounds lost helps!

    once a week! If you are eating properly and exercising there should be nothing to worry about in between.

    I weigh in daily. It was habit when I went to the gym all the time. Now I'm not going to the gym but I am getting up and working out at home. So I have been weighing myself in the morning.

    I weigh daily but I'm weird like that. I usually only enter my loss when I lost a whole pound.

    Definitely weekly- I think daily would be discouraging due to water fluctuation, etc.

    Every morning. It helps me stay focused. If I gain a pound I work harder at the gym, if I lose a pound it makes me feel like counting the calories and keeping up with MFP worth it.

    I want to do it daily but I have decided that weekly should be fine. It gives me something to look forward too. Tomorrow I weigh in and I am so excised.

    Daily. It helps keep me focussed on what my goals are.

    I do weigh daily but I also know my body better now. I know when I had a lot of sodium or didn't drink as much water or if I did a particularly hard workout that the numbers will be up a little. I don't freak if the scale shows I'm up 2 pounds because there's always a reason for it. I know it's not permanent unless I way overate for weeks at a time.

    Every Saturday. Keeps me motivated so that I don't have the urge to indulge on Fridays (:

    Usually every other day. It drives me mad if I do it daily, but I can't seem to stand doing it once a week. My bf had to take the scale out of the bathroom when I was going all 2-5 times a day crazy with weighing, but if I only do it once, I'm not quite as bad off.

    Daily.

    While most weight loss programs don't encourage the practice, a new study suggests that daily weighing may be better for weight loss and weight control than weekly or less frequent weighing.

    People in the study who weighed every day lost more weight or maintained their weight better than people who did not.

    Im currently hooked watching the Biggest Loser - so I do my weigh ins at the same time! :)

    Watching it gets me motivated and when I hit the scales I'm motivated to carry on regardless of what they say! :)
