I'm just wondering how often everyone weighs themselves and why? Thanks!

    I weigh-in and measure every Sunday morning--- but usually I'll check in with where I'm at on Wednesday mornings!! Sometimes you may lose inches and not a lot of weight, which is just as good (which is why I do both)!! Good luck on your journey!

    I weigh daily first thing in the morning, and take measurements every Tuesday.

    I rarely do. I try not to have scale-based goals. But whenever I'm feeling really really accomplished, I'll perhaps let myself take a risk of disappointment, usually accompanied with some pride, and weigh myself.

    I am just getting started at MFP, but I will weigh myself weekly, on Sundays.

    Though, I am going to try very hard not to get discouraged by the scale. I am going to pay more attention to how my pants fit, than what the scale says.

    Every morning.

    This is what holds ME accountable. Each person has to do what they are comfortable with. The main thing is to be consistent -- same time, same place, same clothing (or lack thereof :blushing: ), etc.

    It's a personal preference. I just know this is what works for me.

    I weigh myself daily and record it on here weekly. By weighing everyday, it keeps me more accountable. If I do have a high calorie day and gain a pound or two, I can get it off by being aware. I measure myself at least once a month because sometimes when you aren't losing on the scales, you are losing inches. Best of luck to you:)

    Everyday at 5pm or first thing in morning. Comes pretty close to each other.

    I weigh every day in the morning. However, I have chosen a day, Thursday, that I weigh myself to count once a week. =) So, I only log weigh ins on Thursday.

    I try to weigh myself weekly, or at the very least every 10 days. If I think the results are good and might motivate me, I'll weigh myself twice a week! I also keep a graph of my average weight for the month based on all my weigh-ins during the month.

    I don't have a scale out at school, so I can only weigh myself when I go home. I go home about once a month. I actually prefer this, because I don't freak out about small gains and I see bigger losses in that longer time frame.

    I weight myself every morning, but don't worry too much the daily stuff as I do the weekly total. I measure once a month at Curves.

    I used to weigh once a week, then bumped it back to one every two weeks. It used to be Monday morning I'd weigh in, but I've switched to Friday because I feel that is a more accurate weight since I do really well during the week and tend to slip on the weekends.

    I remeasure my waist, arms, legs, hips, etc every 15 days.
