For those who weigh only once per week, what day to you weigh?
Is there a reason why you picked that day over others?

    Friday, in the mornings.

    I like Fridays. =)

    Thursday morning, naked, after I go to the bathroom. I picked Thursday so that is a few days away from the weekend, when there is a good chance I will have splurged a little on eating out or drinking too many beers and that way I have time to exercise some of it away. :)

    Tuesday. That way I have Monday to "recover" if I had a not so great weekend.

    I'm fairly new to MFP and I'll admit I step on the scale every day. Now though, I only track on Monday mornings soon after wake up but before breakfast. Helps keep me from pigging out /too/ much on the weekends.

    Friday, first thing in the morning....I'm usually really good during the week and that is where I see my loss is prior to the weekend which includes my cheat meal at some point!

    Monday mornings because it helps me stay in check over the weekends knowing I have to weigh-in on Monday. It works for me.

    Morning I'm my lightest. Friday seems to be a good day for me too

    Tuesday. It's the same day my wife has her Weight Watcher's meeting, so that way we weigh in on the same day and can compare notes and share encouragement.

    I still weigh myself every day but I log my weight on Monday mornings. It keeps me from splurging on the weekends.

    Hi, I weigh once a week on a Monday which is the day I joined MFP - so if I'd joined on a Tuesday I'd weigh on Tuesdays..
    I try not to weigh in between as it's easy to let things get a bit obsessive, and as this is meant to be a lifestyle change I don't want to get myself chained to the scales 24/7, but keep a bit of perspective.

    My weigh day is Saturday first thing in the am because I started on a Saturday. But I often weigh Wednesday too because for some weird reason it is usually my lightest day of the week.

    Friday mornings. I'm usually really good during the week.

    Friday, first thing in the morning.

    I pick Fridays because I don't want to weigh myself after the weekend if I ate a little extra. It gives me all week to work it off.

    Wednesday mornings before breakfast. It's mid week so can treat at the weekend and get over it before weigh in comes around. Plus I started on a Wednesday.

    Saturday morning.
    Get up - take care of any Bathroom business (3 S's) - hop on the scale in just my skivvies.

    I picked Saturday morning as it is the first day of the week where I am not rushing off to work.

    I also thought that for any times when I gained from one week to the next. This would be a reminder to be extra careful over the weekend when I tend to want to snack.

    Sunday because I started that day. I'm think about changing it to a weekday though because my routine is all over the place on a weekend, times I eat etc Friday and wednesday seem to be popular

    I weigh Sunday mornings, after bathroom. Not sure why I chose that particular day, it just works for me.

    Monday, right after I wake up. Just because it is the beginning of a new week, and I started on a Monday. I am thinking of changing to Friday or Saturday, because I can't really relax on the weekends. I don't really eat over my calories, but while out and about, I tend to be around more indulgent foods that may stick on me for a couple of days.

    I weigh everyday but log my weight Saturday morning unless I met my goal on Friday, then I use that. I have a goal of a pound a week.

    Saturday has always been a good day for me. Saturdays are when I tend to over indulge for one reason or another and then I have the whole week to stay on track and load up on water to flush the water weight out.

    I started weighing on Fridays only because that was the day I was usually at my boyfriend's place and could weigh myself on his scale. Mine was broken but decided to start working again, but I still stick with Fridays. My best friend weighs herself everyday; I couldn't do that , it would drive me crazy!
