I'm curious how often is a good time frame to weigh myself and update on the site. I've done weight watchers in the past and that is once a week. I'm just curious as to how often others are doing it......thanks for sharing!

    I weigh myself everyday, but only "weigh-in" once a week

    I weigh & log once per week, every Friday. However, if it's that TOM, I will weigh twice during that week just to avoid false readings due to bloating, etc.

    Yeah, I'm trying to get it down to once a week....right now it's at least once a day, which I know is just not good for me mentally. The people I've seen about weight loss, maintainance, and gain (yes, I've hit a point at I've had to gain weight) recommend no more than once a week. Any more than that, and you risk becoming obsessive (I've had issues with it).

    I do it once a week, more often than that and weight fluctuations due to more or less water/sodium/fiber start to get to me. On occasion I will weigh out of curiosity, but I only record after my morning bathroom trip on Sundays.

    I check my weight every morning (becoming an obsession as my scale is right on my way out of the bathroom...) but I don't count it as my weigh in until each wednesday...so once a week.

    I think your obsession dies down a little bit after awhile....

    Don't let it get the best of you...the scale can be a tricky beast

    I do it every Sat. morning with the scale in the same spot with the same PJ's on...lol This Sat. I weighed in and for a twist I weighed my self on Sun. too......lol it was 10# more, So if you want to make yourself crazy weigh in more then one time a week :P

    I tend to weigh myself everyday, always in the morning before eating. I can accept a 3 lb "variance" before getting worried. I read a blurb in this month's Shape magazine and it said that people who weigh themselves daily lose more and maintain easier because you can see weight creeping back on.

    Well I have avoided stepping on the scale at all since doing it on Monday and signing up so I hope that won't become an obsession for me! Thanks for all the great advice!
