I use to do it once a week on a Friday. Now typically, I do 2-3x a week in the morning. I don't worry about .5-1lb variations though since I weigh myself in that much..but i found for myself if was a good way to keep myself accountable. everyone's different though!0

I know you're not suppose to and I honestly don't care but I do it every day.0
-
I weigh in to track on Mondays but I weigh every morning, the same time and in the same clothing to keep myself accountable. It means I know what is "real" weight and what is water/other stuff.0

I weigh in every Friday after a good beasting session..
Or should I say Last Chance Workout...
Sometimes weigh mid week too, but don't take notice of that reading...0 -
I weigh myself once a week, usually on a Monday first thing in the morning, right when I get out of bed. I also try to weigh with the same type of clothes on, because different clothes weigh more or less and will affect the scale.0

Pretty much every time I'm near a scale, even those scales in the pharmacy.0

I weigh every day. I watch the scale go up and down. It can be frustrating BUT I was finding that when I did once a week I didn't always lose and that was worse! For some odd reason, I tend to lose on a 10 day- 2 week cycle. SO I will drop -2.5 pounds then hover around that weight for a while then drop again. I hated the weekly weigh in bc I would stay on plan all week and sometimes not lose! or worse be up .5 or a pound. By weighing every day I can at least know that my body goes up and down 2-3 pounds daily. I drink tons of water and have very low sodium. But I guess this is what my body does!0

I weigh in on Thursdays, first thing in the morning, naked after using the toilet.
Sometimes when I'm at the gym I'll hop on that scale out of curiosity, but I never log that number.0 -
I am an obsessive weigher. I weigh several times a day. Don't get upset/discouraged or too excited about fluctuations, just like to keep on top of the weight thing and see how what I eat the day before/during the day effects my weight.0

i weigh myself every day and write it on a calendar in my bathroom.... but i only count my friday weigh ins... getting on the scale every morning helps to keep my honest with myself... but i dont freak out if i'm up or down a couple pounds throughout the week.0
-
I do it once a day at the same time each day (after i get up from sleeping & post bathroom break).
Should really only do it once a week or so, so that you avoid fluctuations with water retainment but that is why i try to consistently do it first thing in the morning before i eat or add anything that might change my results.0 -
Well to be honest the scale isn't a good thing to do that often because you may get discourage because you may be losing inches and gaining muscles which weigh more than fat; so my previous nutritionist recommend you do it 2x a month, but I only weigh myself once a month. I can tell a different in my weigh lost by my clothes. Just my opinion.0
-
one or two times a month0
-
I weigh in the first Saturday of each month - first thing in the morning.0
-
I weigh every morning. I don't log in a weight loss until the scale says the same thing 2 consecutive days in a row.0
-
I have been trying or intending to only weigh in on Sunday/Monday morning, naked, after going to the bathroom. Thats my tracking weight. However i have been weighing daily, particularly this week. Like others said, i want to just get a feel for what is my normal fluctuation and such. This week i added some intense cardio workouts, and i am not seeing loss, but i think that is to be expected with my muscles holding on to more water, etc.0

I am so glad to see so many other people who are like me!! I tend to weigh every morning. Like others have said, it keeps me accountable for my choices and helps me to see the impact of what I have done the day before. I will only count and log the monday morning weight. It may be a little obsessive, but knowing during the day that I will have to get on the scale the next morning helps me to make the right choices...0
-
Every morning before I hop in the shower. I only log weekly, but I like to keep an eye on it all week so I don't freek out if I'm heavier on my weigh-in day because I ate a lot of salt or was constipated or something.0
-
I step on the scale several times a day because I like seeing the fluctuations for some reason (as much as 5+ pounds throughout the course of a single day) but only record once a week.
My "official" weigh in is done as soon as I get up in the morning, strip naked, and empty my bladder. It's usually on Saturday mornings but sometimes on Friday mornings.0 -
whenever i randomly feel like it lol0
