    Absolutely DO NOT weigh yourself every day. Just because your scale says one number one day, and a different the next, does not incline that you gained/lost weight. I weight myself once a week, in the morning before breakfast and showering. That way, you cancel out the added load of food and/or clothing that may render the weigh-in inaccurate. By weighing myself once a week, I can find a more reliable measurement of my progress. If you simply cannot resist, however, record a daily weight and then at the end of the week, average it out to find your "AVG Weight".

    But, weighing yourself before eating and without excess clothing is still necessary.

    i weigh myself everyday and do just fine. its just more or less if you can handle disappointment. i log in everyday any weight gained or lost. but i keep in mind that it could be different tomorrow =] it also helps me to make better decisions that day like "ok. so i am still xxx, gotta work extra hard to get that number down"

    Once a week - same day, about the same time. Keeps me in the know - but sane!

    I've been weighing in every morning but I've decided I'm just going to do it once a week now :)

    I weigh myself everyday, just out of curiousity, but I officially weigh in on Thursdays and record that weight regardless if it is up or down.

    Once a week! Also - measurements. I haven't done that for awhile, but going to start again. When the scale may show very small loses - you may find you lost a couple inches somewhere else. That can be very motivating!

    I weigh myself and take meassurements every 5 days (just during the 30 Day Shred) but I usually just weigh myself once a week.

    I weigh every day and only log if I've lost so the weight on MFP is my lowest weight to date.

    I weigh myself every day.

    Try to weight yourself in the morning. Wake up, use the bathroom, take off your clothes, and step on the digital scale

    I try to weigh just twice a week. I started out with just weighing on Fridays when I first started MFP. Then I joined a challenge and our weigh in days are Mondays. So I was weighing twice a week but one of this weeks challenges was to not to weigh again until Monday.

    I, unfortunately, weigh myself every day before I take a shower. I'm trying to cut it down to maybe 2-3 times a week, but it's really hard.
