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.
