    I weigh every Friday morning. If I weigh more often, I get too obsessed with the weight fluctuations.

    every single day - I love watching my bodyweight fluctuate

    I've even started logging daily so I can watch the trends

    Friday mornings only. Like a PP said, If i weight more than that, I get obsessed with the fluctuations, even though I KNOW they are normal.

    I appreciate everyone's input. I try to stay away from the scale, but it beckons me each morning. In the past, I have become obsessed with the little fluctuations, but I like the idea of seeing the trends.
    I change my weight here on the first week, but wait for my official weigh-in on the second.

    Thanks, again!

    Well after the other week when it went up 4lbs, I haven't been on it since hahaha!!

    I used to weigh every Monday evening and record the details on my phone. I so need to get back on track though :blush:

    This sounds crazy, but two years ago I was 402LBS, now I'm 192. I was very sad all the time when I looked at the scale. Everyday I worked out like a machine @ home of course & in the first month I lost 10 pounds! My suggestion to anyone is not to look at it for awhile! throw it away! Because it can be discouraging because fat can turn to muscle, including water intake & salt intake!

    I'll admit. I'm obsessed. I weigh more than once a day sometimes but always in the morning. I know that daily fluctuations occur. I know that water weight changes frequently. I just like to see how time of day, hydration and exercise change throughout the day.

    every morning. I hop out of bed, take care of business in the bathroom, strip for the scale so I'm not weighing sleepwear and I weigh myself. Since I usually wake up around the same time every day, it eliminates time-of-day as a factor.

    Every morning and I log it and when I come home after work while changing clothes because it takes about 20 seconds to weigh myself.

    I weigh myself every morning, but if I happen to go up I try to remind myself the only weigh in that counts is Friday's. It can fluctuate day to day, but over a week's time it's usually a loss.

    I don't own a scale so I use the one at my school gym. Tuesday just happens to be the first day I can get into the gym so it's the day I weigh myself.

    I look at the scale once a week - Monday morning, and that's when I log in my weight. Whether I gain or lose I log it in. This helps me to analyze my weight over time vs my food intake. If I gained couple of lbs in a week then I go back and check my food diary to see why that is the case. I've noticed over the week my weight will fluctuate between 2 to 3 lbs, no point stressing about that.

    My scale at home sucks (not digital and waaay inaccurate), so I weigh whenever I go see my recruiter (going for military). It's pretty good because I don't weigh myself daily and when I see the loss, I'm usually both surprised and ecstatic! It has turned into a type of game for me and motivates me to keep going :)

    I weigh twice a day -- one at home and one at the scale at work because it says I weight less than the one at home.

    I weight daily because I've lost weight and seeing my weight loss on the scale makes me happy and keeps me motivated.

    I weigh daily but don't pay much attention to short term gains and losses. It is trends that are more important.
