    Recently, every day, but I only log my weight if I lose because it fluctuates. Also, I must weight the same weight 2 days in a row first thing in the morning for me to feel secure enough to log it! That's just me

    This! I'm obsessed and it helps me to stay on track. Although, I must admit, sometimes I get disappointed.

    Every day.

    I am into tracking trends - not making weight on some magic day.
    Somebody suggested that I should weigh only one time per week, and I found myself going out and running before "weigh-in"; it was absurd.

    I went back to daily weigh-in in the morning before eating and after a good poo.

    I've lost 64 lbs and am about to log in another 1 pound drop sometime between now and Thursday.

    LOVE IT!

    Every few days, but I only log it every week or two.

    :heart: only when i go to the doctor - i've been obsessed before but never enough to buy a scale since i moved out from my parents' over 25 years ago - but i am a real "clothes cincher" that's been my judge of size mostly.

    There are lots of theories and ideas abou weight, weight fluctuations, and weighing ones self - and believe me, I think I have heard them all. Your body fluctuates not only throughout the day, but througout the month - especially if you are a woman. The most logical advice came from a doctor who told me to weigh myself once or twice a week max - choose the day, choose the time, and be consistent. For example, I weigh myself every Monday and Thursday. I weigh myself when I wake up, after I use the restroom, before I shower. I always have the same thing on - nothing. How much more consistent can I get? Ilog every time I step on the scale.
    If I get on more often it can often be self defeating, less often I give myself permission to cheat. Mondays helps me be good over the weekend. Thursdays helps me see how I did during the week.
    Whatever you do, consistency is your key!
    Good Luck

    I used to weight myself every day or once a week, but i stopped since my weight is always between 168-175.
    It Hasn't changed in months, maybe longer but i feel I look leaner.

    LOL SAME! I love pooing now because I know the morning weigh-in the next day will be lower!

    I often post about weird trends in my daily weight and people tend to mistake that as me freaking out over not losing weight. Granted I did have a melt down two weeks ago but that was because I was starting to let myself go.

    47 times a day, I weigh in every morning. I also sometimes weigh several times a day if I have a goal I'm trying to reach. I know thats not good tho

    Friday mornings. Any more than that is counterproductive for me.

    I weight in every morning after rr and then no clothes to get your accurate weight. I go from 130-135. Im in my range. I believe if thats what you want to do then do it. No one has the right to tell you not to weigh in everyday that is your CHOICE... Ive talked to trainers and they say once a week blah blah blah.. I dont believe in that. all though my journey I have done the samething and it doesnt make a difference if you do or dont..

    I weigh everyday, but I don't freak out if I go up a pound or two in one day because I know that I'm doing everything right and usually every 3 days I go down to a smaller weight.
