    6+ times a day...at least everytime I use the bathroom at home. After a few days solidly either at or below one weight, I enter the evening weight (generally 2 pounds higher than my next morning's weight).

    It seems obsessive and a little crazy, but I just like it. I'm not too bothered about my weight vs the quality of my diet and fitness level, but I enjoy the reinforcement. I also measure my heart rate a bunch of times a day and if I had a blood pressure cuff or blood sugar meter, I'd be checking those constantly too, lol.

    One thing I've noticed is that on me my weight changes seem to reflect the choices of the day before yesterday...there's a bit of a delay.

    When I'm on track, every morning. However, I find that on the days I eat poorly or don't workout, I don't have the same eagerness to weigh in. That's how I slip up. I think every day is the best way to be held accountable.

    Made myself put it away because I used to weigh several times a day and it distracted me from what was more important-- getting healthier and stronger! There are so many things you can be proud of without relying on a number to substantiate improved health. I love the whole NSV (non-scale victory) thing. Anyway, I'm shifting from daily weigher to monthly. Changing the habit has been painful but so worth it! Now I notice things like my pants fitting looser, I can exercise longer, have more energy, my back fat rolls are getting smaller... all the things I kind of dismissed when I weighed every day. To each his own! :)

    Every morning, nudie before my shower. Then maybe just before bed for the fun of it. I like to see how much my weight changes throughout the day.

    After every bathroom visit when at home. Primarily though, I weigh before breakfast and dinner, as I use the weight on the scale to determine how much I am allowing myself to eat in the meal to follow. I try to stay within two or three pounds range and find this makes it easy to lose 2 to 4 pounds a month without thinking about much else other than sugar consumption. I have lost 45 pounds and maintained 30 to 40 pounds loss for almost two years now (holidays is where I gain the 10 extra, because it is not about giving up enjoying life). I still struggle due to some uncontrollable situations. I try to keep sugar to less than 50 grams (including fruit) when I really want to lose weight, while other people may find need to watch out for extreme starch intake.

    I like to weigh in every morning after I wake up, after I pee, before breakfast, in my pj's. I record the loses, but this helped keep me in check. I know that after a weekend of heavy eating and drinking (which is not the norm but happens), that I am going to be up, but I like to see it go back down after the water weight is gone. I took a couple years off and maintained where I am by weighing in every day or every other day and when the scale would creep up, try to eat a bit lighter for the next couple days. Logically I know there are fluctuations so it does not drive me crazy when I have an 'unexpected' weight gain or am stalled out.

    Daily, first thing, post-bathroom, sans clothing, while my coffee heats. Coffee is my reward, lol.

    very rarely, I can't remember the last time I looked at the scale. I like to track the notches on my belt.

    Where were you people when I posted on a thread similar to this and people freaked out on me for saying "every 3 days to a week?" Geez! I actually did daily this week because I made the mistake of following MFP's calculated calorie intake and noticed I was regaining weight but in general every 3-4 days for me.

    Daily, every morning after i get up. and record it. it shows or makes me aware of the trend=))

    Every Friday. Too much fluctuation on a daily basis and has a tendency to discourage you.

    Only when the circumstances are right. I will only weigh myself first thing in the morning after I pee and only if I've pooped in the last 12ish hours.

    ETA: and I won't weigh myself the week of my period or the few days before and after.

    Every day after I have my shower. Go for weigh-in every two weeks. Log when I have a loss. My reward is my breakfast.
