just wondering how often you are all weighing in? I just signed up yesterday so I wasn't sure - once a day? Every second day? Once a week?

Thanks for your help!

    I do once a week, and make sure it's around the same time too. I always do Sunday, first thing in the morning, before I eat anything.

    I weigh in three times a day, seven days a week LOL I like to know whats going on.

    I officially weigh in one day a week. Same day every week and I recommend doing the same.

    I do it twice a week. Once on Monday to see how to start off my work week. Once on Friday to see how I'm going to kick off my weekend. ;o)

    If your here to lose weight, then I would do it once a week on the same scales and at the same time of the day.
    I used to weigh in every day, became obsessed and would get very upset and de-motivated if i went up one pound or two..
    Our bodies go up and down daily with water retensioin and other stuff..
    Since I have started once a week the weight is dropping off quicker and im not getting upset anymore. A friend of mine weighs in still every day and is constantly getting stressed by the constant yo yo ing scales.
    Goodluck whatever you choose.

    Once a week but that was a forced decision! I had a crazy couple of days once where I gained weight and possibly took it out on dear hubby. So, now, my scale is actually hidden from me and comes out on Sunday mornings only :)

    Also, I do measurements once a month.

    I use my Wii Fit Plus and Balance Board to weigh, so I do it every morning when I wake up. I like to weigh daily, because that generates a nice graph. Watching the line go down instead of up keeps me motivated. You can view your weightloss graph under the Reports tab on this site, but if you get nervous about getting on the scale, then rather weigh once a week. Normal daily fluctuations in weight might make you panic unnecessarily! :)

    I only weigh about once every other week, and always first thing in the morning before I eat or get dressed. Measurments are a good thing to track too, but mostly I use my jeans to measure my success they never lie.

    Thanks for all the advice guys!!! Lots of great suggestions! I think I'm going to weigh in once a week but I also like the lady's suggestion who said she weighs at the beginning of the work week and the begining of the weekend.

    once a week seeing such a weight difference is a real motivator.

    I just started, but I'm only going to weight myself once every month or so. I find that I panic and fret if I weigh everyday. With all the water I drink, my body fluctuates a few pounds throughout the day.
