    I am terrible about checking weight---I look daily to see how things are going. I only do my official weigh in, though, once a week on Wednesday first thing in the morning.

    Right now since I am on a food plan I weigh in every Monday morning before breakfast. As I come off of the food plan I will probably weigh in Sun. and Wed. or something like that. Also, measurements once a week.

    Every morning, post-potty and pre-shower. I'll also weigh a couple of times during the day/evening, but that's because I'm a nerd and the fluctuations due to water and sodium fascinate me. I only record on weekends, normally Saturday.

    Well I didnt weigh myself for a couple of weeks. Instead I measured my waist and that was a better indicator. That and I would look at myself in the mirror. Muscle weighs more than fat so I didnt think it was accurate. However, i did weigh myse so lf the other day and I had lost a pound or two so clearly, I didnt drive myself insane counting the numbers and its been smooth sailing. Although I do like LOOKING at it

    As you can probably tell, everyone is different, and you need to find what works for you. For me, daily weighing is what holds me accountable. I don't stress about going up, unless I see it is a definite trend day after day. My weight fluctuates about five pounds, and I don't stress about that. Each person is different, and you just have to find what works for you.
