    I weigh myself once a week. Same day same time.
    I also measure myself once a month.
    Although they say not to weigh everyday but I do just to stay on track but I only record the once a week one.
    Good luck with your weight loss.

    Weigh in once each week on Mondays - that way you will be good over the weekend!
    Weigh in right after you get up and use the bathroom.
    Either weigh in, in the buff or wear the same thing each time so your weight doesn't fluctuate by the clothes you are wearing.

    Good Luck!

    Most people weigh weekly. Some weigh daily, but that can be dangerous if you are disappointed easily since there are so many factors that can affect a daily weigh in (what you ate, when you ate last, water intake, etc). Really though, it's up to you and what you are comfortable with.

    I weigh daily and take the long view. I also sometimes weigh at night before bed or after exercise. I LOG first thing in the am weights (not after exercise). For me it doesn't make me obsessive if I haven't lost in a few days -- it helps me understand how my diet impacts my weight.

    I weigh in every monday morning after I wake up & have been up for about 10 minutes. Always in my underwear & bra. I take my measurements once a month.
