    I weight second thing in the morning on Mondays and Thursdays. I started weighting myself everyday but was getting too annoyed with weight fluctuations... I still cannot convince myself to go down to once per week.
    I take my measures, though, once per week on Mondays in the morning.

    My official way day is Monday morning, but the second thing I do every morning is weigh. I just like analyzing the data.

    I'm so surprised to read that a lot of you are weighing yourselves daily. I would guess that a lot of people would argue against it because of weight fluctuations. I might try it for a bit though. Thanks for your input guys!

    Most every day. And night. Lets me know when it's time to dial it back a notch. Or bump it up a bit .

    I tend to weigh daily because of fluctuations. Otherwise, how will I know if the number is high, low or average? I figure the more data points I have the better.

    I used to weigh myself all the time, like no joke, more than 10x a day like I was really going to see a change.lol. But after initially gaining weight when I started working out and then dedicating myself to this whole fitness journey and reading others advice, I stopped and weighed like once a week and because I stuck to my diet and exercise and always had a calorie deficit I knew there was no way the scale would go up, plus my reflection in the mirror and my clothes getting more loose was better than any drop in the scale, but I'm not gonna lie as soon as I started seeing the weight drop week after week I kinda went back to the daily weigh ins...not sure why, I guess I just wanted to make sure I was never going back lol.

    Every day, after peeing. I use Trendweight.com to calculate the exponentially smoothed moving average, which is the really useful data.

    I TRY to weigh once a week. But if I feel like I have done badly with my eating I may weigh the next morning just to check! Right now I'm loving my scales bc the number is going down but I know soon it will start slowing down. :(

    I weigh myself immediately following my morning run every day. Yes. I understand.....I'm dehydrated. It's a ridiculously low reality. I get it. But it makes me feel better. And I'm consistent about it, so I'm truly tracking the trend. But hey....I had 85 pounds to lose. I need motivation. I'm down 46 since April, so I do what I do.

    I weigh myself daily. I know that isn't for everyone but it helps keep me motivated.

    Every day. I follow a strategy to keep the scales as close to accurate as possible.

    1. Fast for my bedtime hours (including
    water)(I try for 8 hours)
    2. When I wake I empty bladder & bm.
    3. I calibrate scales and weigh naked.
