    I weigh most days but record once a week on a Thursday - just because I started on a Thursday :-) Amazing how much it can vary!

    Everyday and I record it everyday. I like to know how what I eat effects how much I weigh, and I don't obsess over the number.. but I like to know :)

    No. It depresses me because of water weight fluctuations. I do it every Friday in the morning.

    I try hard not too but sometimes I can't help it, I like to make sure I'm on the right track!! But at the moment I'm trying not too, and haven't weighed myself since Wednesday.. I hate not knowing if I'm losing weight or not but I'll soon find out when this wednesday comes! Lol x

    I do, but I only record when I lose. It helps me stay focused and on track.

    I do! And I record it when ever there is any loss.. even 2 oz. Cause every little bit that I lose means "I already did that"-I won't be losing it again! :)

    I do weigh myself daily. I record it daily and look at the fluctuations on the graphing functions.

    I only do it once a week, I find it's a nice "treat" after my week of hard work and I like to guess how much I've lost from the way my body looks!

    Yes, and also everynight and sometimes more than once, I am a numbers person and I can deal with daily fluctuations with water and hormone changes. It keeps me honest and I only record once a month which so far has been about 10 lbs a month. 110lbs lost in 9 months and still counting

    I used to weigh myself everyday.... got so frustrated, so I got rid of my scale and now I weigh myself 2x a week: Sunday and Wednesday.

    I only weigh daily if I feel like I lost. If I feel bloated or fatter then I pretend I have no clue what that grey device on the floor by the bathroom sink is.

    I used to. But now I am seeing that it's better for me not to. I would see the number drop one day and the next go up a little, It would make me obsessive and I would just start skipping meals, so now I am only going to do it once a week.

    I do weigh myself every morning but I only record it when I lose ;-)))))

    I concur with you. I weigh myself pretty much every day. I noticed that of course, like most others here, my weight fluctuates. But I record my weight when it goes down past the last recorded weight. I do this only because I'm curious to see if I will actually lose an average of 2 lbs a week. I suppose it's all about personal curiosity. Since I KNOW my weight fluctuates I don't freak out that one day the scale gives me one number and the next it will give me a higher number. I've noticed that ever other day the scale goes down a few ounces or more.

    NO!!!! it gets you feeling defeated if you don't see any loss. I weight myself once a week - every Saturday morning. That's it. And I always get a surprise by losing more than I thought I would.

    Give yourself a break, ease up and don't be so tough on yourself

    Yep, sure do. Record it everyday and do an average every week.

    I keep the scale in the cupboard near the bathroom, so although it's not staring at me every morning I see it when I open the cupboard to get towels out. I weigh about 5x a week but have only recorded once in three weeks because my weight went up and down so much. At the moment I'm 100g heavier than the last time I recorded. I might record it tomorrow if it goes down again.

    I weigh 3-4 days a weeks and sometimes multiple times a day. Trying to break the scale addiction.

    Yes. I am in maintenance so this enables me to keep a check and ensure I am not gaining/ losing.

    i try to avoid the scale as much as possible, because i get down on myself about the lack of results. i only weigh myself once a week unless i'm particularly antsy about my weight (:
