    Once a week, that's it. It would drive me up the wall if I weighed any more often. Good luck!

    I record Saturday mornings BUT I try to not look more than twice a week- I felt like I was getting kind of obsessed with the scale :(

    i record once a week, and skip a week if TOM has arrived - i wait til it's gone cause i know i'm just hanging on to water!

    I weigh myself every monday. I have read its not good to weigh yourself everyday because your body weight changes so much due to water weight. I have found this to be true with myself.. when I first started seeing weight come off I would weigh myself everyday then get upset if it was even half a pound up. Hope this helps! Just remember keep going and you will loose that weight!!

    I agree with the above poster. I weigh every morning but no longer worry about every half pound fluctuation up or down. I generally count the Saturday and Thursday weights though because I always seem to lose weight through the second part of the week for no particularly good reason that I can think of! I like to weigh in every day because I find it makes me less likely to cheat.

    My trainer acctually says to weigh yourself every morning. He says to do it in he morning because that will be your truest weight.

    I weigh in every Friday morning, first thing. As was already said, it's no good to do it more than that because weight fluctuates daily, esp. when you're approaching your period and retain water. I do my measurements every 2 weeks.

    Once a week otherwise you will go crazy wondering why one day you are up a couple pounds and the next day at the same weight. Don't obsess over the scale just keeping doing what you are doing and the weight will come off.

    I weigh and measure myself every morning - for exactly the same reason that people give for weighing only once a week!

    Even though I weigh my "body only" (ie after going to the toilet and before having a drink) first thing every morning, my weight can fluctuate by up to a pound day by day.

    That means that weights taken one or even two weeks apart could actually show an increase, which would be incredibly discouraging, even though the daily graph shows a clear downward trend. Of course if you're the sort of person who freaks out at daily changes, that wouldn't work for you.
