    I weigh first thing Monday morning each week & I measure the first Monday am of each month. That way I can really track my overall progress! :)

    I was weighing daily, and when it got to the point of TWICE a day and it was really effecting my mood I knew I had to get over the number on the scales (particularly as it didn't necessarily reflect the way I looked or felt) so I gave my scale to my friend. Now I go to his place every second Friday morning (sometimes I'll go weekly) and weigh in and then we go out for breakfast. Works well for me and I'm not going crazy over it anymore :D I take my measurements weekly :)

    I usually weigh myself every 2 weeks, I should probably do it more often than that but I like to step on the scales and see results!

    I weigh every morning. I can't help myself, but it doesn't bother me to see the number go up. I know that fluctuations are normal.

    I hop on every morning first thing (after loo) and it's interesting to see fluctuation and note what's happening at the time.

    Overall trend is what's important.

    I don't stress over scales.

    Been forgetting lately, but usually once a day in the morning. But record it officially once a week.

    I weigh myself several times a week at different times of the day, but only log my weight in MFP if it's a morning weigh-in, it's down AND there's no unusual variable that would artificially influence the "down," e.g., I've been sick, or worked outside in the heat for hours, etc. I'm at 1200 net alories, log everything I eat and drink, weigh and measure portions, etc., and I rarely lose even a half-pound a week, even though it should be close to 1.5 pounds given the calorie deficit. However, by weighing myself at inconsistent intervals, I think I'm demonstrating to myself that a particular weight (high or low) can be arbitrary, so not to put too much faith in that single number and instead concentrate on the longer-term goals and lifestyle changes such as making exercise a regular part of my routine.

    I weight myself everyday, mostly by curiosity...
    but it really doesnt drive me crazy or anything ...

    i do enter the increase if they don't come back down after 1-2 days

    Im a daily weigher but only log my weight once a week (Wednesday mornings before I eat) I try not to let my my minor gains get me down. So far so good!
