How often do you weigh yourself?? I try to do it every week, but sometimes I just can't help myself, so I would say I probably do it every other day...... is that bad??

I'm much like you! I plan to weigh in on Monday mornings, but there's other days that I just can't help myself. Usually Thursday comes around and I just HAVE to know if I'm on the right track. I think it's okay, as long as it doesn't become something you're obsessed with. If I absolutely couldn't go a day without weighing myself, I'd be worried.
But I would like to encourage you to take the measurements that mfp has other than weight. Sometimes the scale doesn't budge, but the hips or waist goes down a bit. That helps so much in not getting discouraged.0 -

I weigh myself almost every day, but I try to do it first thing in the morning so I am consistent.0

I weigh almost daily, but I only take other measurements once a week. I just can't stand waiting a whole week to know how I am doing.0

I weigh every morning, but I use it as my visual reminder to stay on track. I rather need things "in my face" or I can ignore them pretty well
I have found that seeing my weight is extra motivation to watch my portion size and meal frequency. 0 -
I typically weigh in on Saturday mornings. During my last weight loss attempt I got pretty obsessive with daily weigh ins, and I found that if I didn't like the number, then it affected my mood for the day. This time I had my hubby hide the scale, so I can only weigh once a week! It probably sounds silly, but now I can go about my business without thinking about it all!0

I weigh myself once a week, on Fridays, at the same time in the morning.0
