just wondered how often you'd all recommend doing a weigh in?

    Once a week is what I do. Or once every two weeks.

    It seems like the consensus is either once a week or twice a week, same day(s) every week, first thing in the morning after releiving yourself but before consuming anything. It will be the most accurate picture over time of how you are doing.

    I have new scales, and when I found the old ones broke, I went from a weight loss of 50 to a weight loss of 26. So, until I feel I can trust the new scales, I weigh in every day at 5:30 am...

    I'm such a geek!

    never :) The scale likes to mess with your head...at least mine does! So I prefer not to use it as often, I use it maybe once or twice a month. In the meantime I keep with the food and exercise plan. At the end of that month, I see great results. Good luck! DO not let the number on the scale get to you, go by NSVs :)

    I do it daily. I feel like I get better idea of how I am trending. Some days are off a bit and I don't put too much weight in it (heh heh). But I also think it keeps me accountable. If I don't do it every day I pretend it doesn't exist and leads to me messing up the plan and losing focus of the goal.

    I have a great app on my phone for weight tracking. There is a graph. I use it in conjuction with my food diary. The days that spike I look at what I ate the day before.

    When I first started I was doing P90X and weighed in when I took pictures only which was every 30 days. I then started doing it twice a month and now I do it daily... :)
