How often do you weigh yourself?

I weight every morning.... and yeah, it's frustrating, but I can't help it. It's a sick addiction.

I can't help myself either. I like need to know. I sometimes even weigh myself after meals but thats mostly for laughs and not serious.

I'd have to agree with Katie. It definitely depends on the person. If you're looking for instant gratification, but won't get too upset if it's not there, then do it a lot. If not, then once a week or so should be fine. Personally, I weigh myself every morning after I wake up. I'm not trying to cut weight, just trying to maintain, so that may have a factor in when I weigh myself as well. Whenever you weigh yourself, it should be a consistent time of the day because your weight will fluctuate a lot throughout the day.

No more than once a week, always first thing in the morning and on the same.

Personally, my weight fluctuates too much each day to know if it's my diet or something else to blame. I weigh myself once a week. If I'm worried I'm not on track, I'll weigh in every 3 or 4 days, but take it with a grain of salt. I'd say it definitely depends on the person.

I weigh anywhere from every three days to once a week. I work in a healthcare setting and I figure that work's scales are more accurate than mine, so I try to weigh right away when I get in on the first day of my work week. Since my schedule changes a lot, it can be up to a week before I can get on a scale.

For me, if I weighed every day, then I would become obsessive about my weight. Water retention, food, clothes all play a factor in a person's weight from moment to moment. I'd get too caught up in the changing number if I weighed that often. That's just me though.

I weigh on average twice a day. Once when I wake up and once at night before bed, its interesting to note that whatever I weigh before I go to bed the weight I see in the morning is almost always exactly three pounds less than the weight the night before no matter what the weight is.

I weigh myself nearly daily - I LOVE to see my progress. By having a scale accurate to .2 pounds, I can see weight changes in literally 1-2 days, which is awesome and super motivating. Not to mention, seeing my weight (which I'm already proud of just because it's the lowest its been in AGES) every morning is a way to start the day with a reminder of my weight loss. I just feel like it helps keep me accountable to myself. However, I only log the weight if its a loss (unless I wind up gaining weight for more than 2 weeks but that hasn't happened yet). Even if I was dehydrated or whatever on the day that I recorded that lowest weight, just seeing the number (I know its not all about the scale but I like to see numbers) motivates me to make sure to maintain that weight and lose even more!

I weigh and measure every 30 days. It was once a week at first. Now, Once every 30 days.

i weight myself everyday but i only track it once a week. i really dont think i can go more than 1 day without getting on the scale.

I don't even own a scale. I used to weigh myself everyday and now i weigh myself about once a month. my mind set has changed over the years. I eat healthy so I can live a long active life. I want to spend my retirement traveling the world, not spending money on medications. and exercise is my addiction now, not the scale. I know without even getting on the scale when my weight goes up or down.

I weigh myself every morning. I know people say you shouldn't, but for me it's a daily reminder of why I am doing this and it helps keep me on track. I am a creature of habit, so if I didn't do it every morning, I think I would more easily go off the wayside. It does suck not to see change daily, but that's ok, as long as it's not jumping way up, I can handle it. Sunday is my "official" MFP weigh-in day though.
