    You can weigh yourself whenever you want, but typically once a week is best. Its a good idea to weigh youself first thing in the morning after you go potty. However, again, it is up to you. Just make sure that when you weigh yourself, you do it at the same time of day as your first weigh in just to keep it consistent.

    Hi, I weigh Monday mornings and log my weight but usually have a peak through the week too although I know i shouldn't but it encourages me.

    I often find myself weighing in every day... And let me tell you that is nothing but a problem. I have let the scale take over my life. Starting this week I will only weigh in 2 times a week then hopefully down to 1. Good luck but these other people are right 1 a week is better on the mind!!

    I weight myself everyday, but am finding that it's a bit frustrating. I have an obsession with the scale!!! I only weigh in on MFP once a week, usually on Friday. Always weigh in the morning after going to the bathroom and nude!

    I weigh every morning before food, and after the bathroom. For comparison's sake I also usually weigh myself before bed and sometimes a third time. I am OBSESSED. I log it any time there is a drop.

    I recommend weighing once a week in the morning though!
