How often do you weigh yourself?

    Once per week on Wednesday mornings.

    I don't own a scale, so I use the one at the gym. I think if I owned a scale, I'd obsess and be on it every single day. Having to weigh myself in public at the gym keeps my obsessing to a minimum.

    I also do it at the same time under the same circumstances:

    An hour after I've had my protein shake for breakfast.
    In same workout clothes and same shoes.
    After I've peed.

    That way, I minimize a few variables. Sorry if that's TMI.

    I weigh every night and every morning. I do it at night so I will know how much I will weigh in the morning. It's a little obsessive, but stopping isn't really an option for me.

    Every morning. And usually every night too. I like to know how much I'm fluctuating throughout the day... sometimes it's 2-3lbs.

    Every day I go to work... which is anywhere between 4 and 6 days a week.

    I also log my weight any time I see a definite difference.

    Every morning for myself and every Friday for the Biggest Loser competion at work.

    I've successfully broken the habit of weighing in every morning! For the past 3 weeks I've held out until Friday mornings and I'm much happier! No more frustrations over daily slight losses or gains of a few ounces! Last week I was a bit frustrated over my weekly progress but my diligence paid off and yesterday I weighed in at 2 lbs less! WHOOO HOOOO!!!

    Every 3 or 4 days. A week is a little too long for me to wait; a little more frequently helps me make sure nothing crazy is going on!

    While I take my "official" weight on Friday mornings, I usually do hop on the scale a few times a week. Right now it doesn't mess with my head but if it starts to, I'll dial that back.

    I have a bad habit of weighing in every day, I only log it once a week on Friday. I'm doing a weigh challange now but once it is over I plan to get rid of the scale for a few months.

    you're not supposed to weigh yourself every day. Your weight will fluctuate with hormones, fluides, stress. You'll weigh more at end of the day, or after exercising etc. So many factors. I get easily caught up in the weighing myself every day and i find myself obsessing over it. The recommondation is once a week first thing in the morning.

    Lately, it's been on Wednesdays and Saturdays. But if I feel particularly "light", I will step on the scale!

    I get on the scale every morning, just to see where I'm at but only track on Thursdays.
