    I weigh every Monday and Friday so I have an idea before heading into the weekend and then again on Monday to get me motivated through the work week.

    Once a week on a Monday. I think that it gives you a chance to see what is happening and also it allows you to make realistic changes to your eating depending on the result.

    I'm trying to limit it to twice a week, Wednesdays & Saturdays. I tend to obsess if I'm on the scale daily.

    First thing every morning. At the end of the month I graph the daily weights so I can see the trend. It's amazing how it fluctuates from day to day, especially after a busy weekend.

    I do too! Im glad im not the only one. I feel like I can keep better track of how my eating habits affect my weight. I just started MFP - but even before I only logged on Fridays.

    I weigh myself every morning after I get up. The scale is electronic, so I round the decimal because those drive me crazy if I don't (I'll get obsessive over tenths of a pound otherwise).

    I weight every morning too. This way I know what I need to do..... and I can change up either a workout if I gained a little or diet for the day.... I can't imagine going a whole month! But I track my body fat % once a week. To me, that is the best number control!

    Way more than I should (multiple times a day), but I'm neurotic about numbers.

    Wow! That is a lot. I do it once a day every morning as I know once I drink my first 16oz glass of water I will weigh 16oz more that day not to mention the weight of the food I eat. I figure weighing myself after eating or drinking anything in the morning is just measuring the weight of my food and drink and tells me nothing.

    Yes, it is a lot and not what I'd recommend to others. I'm sure I'm not alone, I just honestly admit it. lol
    I'm a fanatic when it comes to numbers; however, I also do it for health reasons. All my doctors are aware of this and they're fine with me doing it due to my health, history and my parent's deaths.
    So, to reiterate, not what I'd tell others to do. :)

    I weigh myself daily, but the weigh-in that "counts" is the one I do on Mondays.
