do you do it the same day every month? (example: the 27th of every month)
Every time you are down X amount of pounds?

I'm just curious! :-)

    I do mine once a month b/c often even if the scale is not moving, my measurements are changing.

    I do it whenever I *feel* smaller but haven't lost anything weightwise just to check and see if I'm right or imagining it. Usually about once or twice a month.

    im only down 11 lbs and its only been 3.5 weeks since i did my measurements last but i think i might do them tonight. im anxious to see if those 11 pounds has done anything yet. (though its no biggie if it hasnt. i know i havent lost much and i may not see any difference for a while)

    I do it weekly when I weigh my self, I know my body changes during the month with hormones but I still like to keep track of that.

    I wake up on monday morning, work out and then weigh and measure myself and then tuck into breakie!

    I also measure every week at when I do my weekly weigh in but this site recomends every 2 weeks to once a month. but I like to take my measurements because I'm at the begining and I haven't lost very many pounds yet. It's also too early to see a difference in my body but my measurements are getting steadily smaller and it's nice to see that progress, it's keeping me motivated when the scale isn't.

    I JUST started measuring my waist. I've been at this since August. I decided this past Wednesday, when I didn't lose lbs that I would check my waist measurement. I knew what I had measured before August (in a weird moment of depression I checked my waist measurement and was disgusted) so I knew at that point how well I had done so far!
    I decided that any time I don't see the scale go down I will check my waist to feel better (hopefully). :)

    I have only done my measurements once. did them last week. I guess i will wait 3 more weeks to do them again. How often should i weigh? Right now i am weighing myself every day. Sometimes i think this is a little discouraging!:sad:

    i was told to weigh in once a week for this reason exactly! do it first thing in the AM before eating/drinking, but after using the bathroom
