Once a week and never any more than that! I put the scale away so I don't see it every day or I would go insane!0

I think, once a week is, what most would suggest because of waterfluctuation etc. The weight changes every day. I personally weigh myself every day. Just a habit.0

I agree. Weigh yourself once a week, on the same day every week, before breakfast every morning.
That's what I do and that's what MFP recommends too.0 -
Personally, I weigh-in once a week. So far it's worked well-- this way, I feel I'm not a slave to the scale but it keeps me honest0

I do it once a week!
Read this article. Interesting

Once a week -- same day, same time, same clothes(or lack of clothes)0

I weight every Friday morning. And I measure once a month.0

Once a week...I used to jump on daily, but I would beat myself up over the slightest negative change. One thing daily weighing did do was let me know how certain eating patterns affect my weight...But now I prefer once a week.0

Hi,
This is totally a personal decision, in my humble opinion. I began my weight loss journey in August 2006 at 197 pounds. I weigh daily (unless I am not at home, because I'd only want to weigh on the same scale). Daily weighing is what keeps ME accountable. For other people, who don't like to see the fluctuations that are normal in weight loss, weekly weighing is best for them.
However often you decide to weigh, do it the same way. For me, that is the same scale, in the same spot, after waking up and using the restroom, and in the nude.
Personal choice

I think it depends I weigh myself everyday but I don't let it discourage me because weight does go up and down a pound or two here and there. I say if it wont discourage you everday is fine I do it to keep myself on track I worry if I don't stay on top of it I might start slacking.0

I weigh myself on Friday mornings, undressed, right before I get in the shower. Your weight fluctuates so much day to day that you can't accurately measure your loss/gain if you weigh more than that.0

Once a week....I see more of a difference that way....its more motivating to me....though I am tempted to jump on there more often...I make myself keep walking past the scale until my usual day...0

Every monday morning!!!0

I personally weight myself everyday to keep myself in check. It's not for everyone BUT it works for me. I find that if I only weigh myself once a week I wont stay on track.0

Yep.0 -
once a week...at the most. I try to go as long as 2-3 weeks but that gets difficult for me not knowing.0
-
Once a week maximum!0
-
daily--just to keep an idea of what's going on. I expect frequent fluctuations.0
-
I do it DAILY at least like 4 times per day. I read in Shape magazine that people that are aware of their current weight, even if it's water, tend to make better eating decisions throughout the day. & I agree.
I weigh more in the evening than in the morning by about 3 lbs, but it's pretty consistent so I know not to "freak out" when the number goes up.
I weigh myself even before and after I pee. It's interesting to see the change.0
