Do you measure yourself at the beginning of the day before you eat/drink and after you use the restroom (like most do when they weigh)?
Also, how often do you measure?

    i have my measurements taken at the gym, so it's usually after a class. but i only measure every 8 weeks. i think mfp recommends every 2 or 4, though.

    Every two weeks on Monday (when I take my progress pics front/side/back)

    I measure whenever I start getting angry at the scale, which is about once a week.

    I take mine at weigh ins as well but I always make sure to compare my monthly numbers, as i only see small changes by week but numbers that feel far more impressive by month.

    Know I shouldn't but every morning, have lost 32 since July 1. From 222 to 190, first time under 200 since 1988.

    I measure once a month before I take my monthly picture. Weigh in days are Thursdays when I wake, either am or pm, depending on my work rotation.

    My initial plan was to weigh in once a week, but I've decided to get on every morning after I wake up. I feel more motivated to make smart choices during my day if I can see my progress and measure it against what I want to achieve.
