    This

    Weighing daily helped me see that a 1 - 2 lb. up or down fluctuation daily is perfectly normal and has nothing to do what I did or did not do the day before. The number I pay attention to is the weight on the first of the month and the weight on the last of the month. I try for that second number to be 5 lbs. lower than that first number, but I still have a good deal of weight to lose and I am no where near maintenance yet.

    I weigh myself once a month. My home scale broke a few months ago and I've been too lazy to fix it so I use the one at the gym.

    I usually weigh myself every Monday morning! I might during the week, depending how the eating habits were. I only log it on MFP on Monday mornings though!

    Daily, first thing in the morning, post-bathroom, pre-dressing. I don't stress about day-to-day, I log weight to a spreadsheet on my phone and look at my 7 day average at the end of the week as my gauge of progress.

    is there a certain app you use with the spreadsheet?

    I track randomly, but naked in the am after I pee. I record only weights that are lower than the last weight I recorded. This works to keep me motivated and not emphasize the gains. So far it's almost 10lbs lost since Sept. 20th! Please add me as a friend if you are in the same boat as me - fairly new to this, trying to figure out what works and still keep some remaining balance in lifestyle. Also, I'm a proud Canadian Hockey Mom! (*)

    will any team in Canada win the cup ever again ? lol just playin, I'm a big NY Rangers fan. Just added you.

    I weigh myself as soon as I have taken my first pee of the morning. I log everyday.

    I do it every 2-3 days, and will not always log a loss into MFP. My ''official'' loss for the week comes on Monday morning though and logged into the challenge I'm taking part in on r/loseit. I like the weekly weigh ins, but having lost 26 lbs now since I started I actually can't wait to step on the scale.

    BEST once a week on friday! People eat healthy during the week so you weigh less and it gives you motivation

    I weigh myself every day because I could gain a lot of weight, relative to my small frame, in one week if I don't. I don't stress myself if I show one day of weight gains. If I show two days of weight gains, I try to eat healthier. If I show three days of weight gains, I dropkick my *kitten* into action! Conversely, if the scale shows that I am losing too much weight, I eat more.

    I weight once every 4 weeks. Usually 6 or 7 pounds, sometimes only 3 or 4. Depends on what was going on during that 4 week period. The fluctuating that goes on when weighing weekly drives me crazy!!!!! So, if I weigh once in 4 weeks, I'm sure to have lost weight & I feel good! Once I get closer to my goal weight, I will start weighing once a week. You have to find out what works best for YOU in your weight loss journey. Good Luck!

    I weigh myself every morning, with no clothes on, after I pee but before I eat. It's the lightest weight of the day, and I find that motivating.

    Once a week, same day, same time.

    Usually once a week, some months once every other week. I try to keep it on the same day and the same time.

    Twice a day. First thing in the morning and again just before bed. I only record it once a week. Some may find this obsessive but it keeps me on track.

    Every morning first thing when I wake up, but I only record once a week.

    Saturday, midday, every fortnight. I never used to measure which is a shame as I've reached my goal weight now - I don't know how many inches I've lost :/ I would probably have measured once a month...really wish I did now :s
