    As others have offered up, I "officially" weigh in once a week, Friday first thing after the morning constitution. BUT, I also check my weight Monday morning, then the following 2 or 3 days just to keep tabs on myself.

    Once a month, about the 20th of the month, I take measurements and use my Body Fat machine to test progress,

    honestly, it depends on the person. everyone is different and it depends on what will work for you. it's trial and error really. some people are motivated by dissapointment, and if they weigh themselves every day or once a week, and they don't see the results they were hoping for, it makes them work that much harder. some people are discouraged by dissapointment though, and rather need to see results in order to push themselves furhter. and if you're like that, i would suggest weighing in once a month. but alsoooo, some people find they get too caught up in seeing results and losing weight that they're constantly losing motivation and getting discouraged and losing sight of the big picture, and would rather focus on being healthy so that, they will lose the weight, but it won't constantly be about... how much, so they don't weigh themselves at all because that's what works for them. maybe once in a blue moon, but they'd rather focus on lifestyle. and there's nothing wrong with that either. it's all about what works for you, and only you can figure that out, so try it out a few different ways and see what winds up working the best. for me, i sometimes am motivated by dissapointment, but sometimes it discourages me, so i guess it all depends on how i feel, what's going on in my life atm and how things are affecting me, so basically, when i weigh myself is relative to how i'm feeling lol. if i find myself needing that extra push i might weigh myself, and if i didn't lose that'll push me, as will seeing results. but if i'm feeling really down about myself and i've been having a bad day or week or month lol, i might skip it because i know that if i don't see the results i want it will be more counter-productive than anything else.

    I want to weigh myself weekly but I can never be patient enough. So, it's daily for me.

    I weigh in every day right when i wake up. I'll go to the bathroom then weigh before showering or anything. I find that it is pretty accurate for the most part. As long as you are consistent, then the weigh ins should be accurate. I also find that weighing every day helps to keep me motivated

    I weigh myself once a day! Every morning right after I pee and before I hit the shower *and naked*. However, my trainer says to weigh no more than once a week.
