Me too.0 -
I weigh daily, only log losses, and only record whole pounds.0

Daily0

Every Saturday.0

once a week, every sunday.. sometimes, once in two weeks..0

Weigh everyday and log it everyday. It's much easier to see a trend with more data points.0

I weigh daily and then average my weight for the week. My averaged weight is what I enter here. That way fluctuations "average out" and I get to see a downward trend.0

Every Sunday.0

I weigh every day but I don't log unless I've seen a loss (usually once a week) AND unless I've seen the number on the scale one more than one day. That way I know it was probably not a fluke and I did actually lose that weight. I like to weigh myself daily simply because it helps me track if I'm retaining fluid and need to take a look at my habits. If I see a sudden jump in the scale then I know it's just fluid retention, and that means I need to watch my sodium intake, drink more water, and consider going to bed earlier that night.0

I weigh daily, I'm interested in the daily fluctuations in weight, it's interesting to me. I have the Fitbit Aria scale so it logs to MFP automatically.0

About 3 times a week0

I don't weigh myself. Lol. My personal trainer weighs me once a month. I probably have to start weighing every week or so though. Since I'm not counting calories anymore. Don't want the weight creeping up on me again.0
-
Every other week0
-
I weigh when I visit my parents. Don't have a scale of my own, but I'm actually happy with that, or I would be on it twice day or so. I do take measurements.0
-
every friday morning, as soon as i get up (after i've been to the bathroom )0
-
Daily or whenever I want. I find the not knowing more of a distraction and am fine with fluctuations I just like data.0

I was pleasantly surprised this morning to be 2lb lighter than my last recorded weigh-in just 2 days ago! Hope I'm still the same when it comes to logging it this Friday as this would be my best ever loss.
weighed myself a couple years ago.0 -
I'm only recently back on MFP but in the past I'd log it once a week but sneakily jump on the scales in between. Mondays are always depressing after the weekend. I also measure weekly as it's a real boost if your weight hasn't changed but your body shape has.
That said, years ago when I went to Curves (we moved so I stopped) they would measure and weigh and check body fat once a month. I think that was a very healthy way to go as when I was on WeightWatchers even more years ago I'd end up getting depressed about 1lb or 2lb gained when really that could go with one big poo! I'm too curious to leave it longer than a week weighing at home but try not to get too upset week to week.
Jeez, I sound like a proper yo-yo dieter. I'm 32 and it's always been a struggle as I'm 5'1" with the appetite of a 6 footer!0 -
I use to daily but I plan to stop TODAY and start weekly. I did my weekly weigh in yesterday and was happy with the number. Got on this morning and was 3.2 lbs heavier. It really broke my heart. So I am getting my hubby to hide the scale and only give it to me on Sunday mornings for my weekly weigh ins.0

Once every week or two. I used to be obsessed and weighing myself multiple times a day so I dont want that to happen again0
