How often do you weigh yourself?

I know weighing yourself is an individual thing, I am just curious as to how often people weight themselves... I heard it is not good to weigh yourself daily as you go up and down... once a week?

I don't own a scale so I weight myself every couple of weeks when I go visit my mom...

    When I was losing: Once a week.
    Since I've lost the weight: Every 2-3 weeks.

    Once a day! I only "report" it once a week...but I have a standing date with my scale. In fact, I know that my scale is right, so when I go out of town...I take mine with me. My sister's scale is off by a couple of pounds. I don't want to have to worry about it!

    I can't keep myself from getting on the scale every morning. But I try not to take those weights too seriously, as I know weight fluxuates... I log once a week.

    On good days, once.
    On bad days twelve thousand, because obviously there is something wrong with the scale.

    I weight myself every morning but I only record my weight on Thursday. I just like to know if my weight is flucating every day....:-)

    Everyday. Sometimes multiple times. When I'm home, I can't help myself. Especially lately since I've been at a bit of a plateau :(

    Well I weigh myself every Sunday, at the start of a new week, so that if I didn't do as well as I wanted or should have, then I push myself a lil harder the coming week.

    Every morning, right after I use the bathroom. But I only count the weigh-in on Wednesday mornings.

    I'm an every morning weigher too - I know it's a bad habit but it makes me focus more I think. It feels like I'm doing something to acknowledge I'm on a diet :)

    I weigh myself in clusters. Ie. I weigh myself one day, and maybe the following three days to see what i am averaging in that time frame. And then if i start to see physical change(every 2-3 weeks) i weigh myself in again. I'm more visual as opposed to the scale.

    Pretty much once a week, morning, before breakfast. I don't have one of those that's electronic, so it's more of a guess, I definitely can't see little weight fluctuations, only about a pound or more.

    I'm also guilty of weighing myself most mornings, but do a 'weigh in' on a Monday, which has been a kick in the teeth a few times when I've gained a pound over Sunday night!!

    Am relieved to see lots of others check daily though :blushing:

    Every couple days, but I only log it once per week

    I refuse to weigh myself more than once a week because I know the daily fluctuations would drive me batty. I AM however, planning on investing in a digital scale, because the one I have now is hard to read.

    I check it almost every day, I don't obsess over it, I just want to monitor it. Then once a week is my official weigh in.

    I have to admit I weigh myself every morning after I wake up...

    Yes, there are fluctuations but I'd only go all day thinking about it and end up doing at night after I've eaten all day and then seem a lot heavier lol.
