I am throwing this out there just to see what everyone does. I like to weigh myself first thing every morning. Even if I only lose a tenth of a pound. It still makes me feel good. Anyone else?

    I weigh myself everyday first thing in the morning but I only log in on Friday's. It helps keep me in check, usually a 1 lb gain is just water retention so I make sure to drink more water taht day. It seems to work. :happy:

    I weigh myself first thing in the morning after using the washroom. I currently weigh twice a week (Mondays for a challenge from a different site, Tuesdays for my personal weigh). I used to weigh daily, but I found the up and down that occurs with our bodies just really made it hard.

    1st thing in the morning! But I do only "check-in" my weight weekly. When I'm feeling REALLY skinny in the middle of the day, I cannot resist stepping on the scale but it means nothing. Sometimes it is less, sometimes it is more.

    Every morning as soon as I get up. This is not the idea way but it keeps me motivated. I only log if I lose a half pound or more!

    Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. I do occasionally weigh other days, but I really try to keep it to those 3 other wise I find myself getting overly obsessive.

    I log weights on Monday :)

    I use to never weigh myself because the slight fluctuation irritated me and had me throwing in the towel numerous times. My husband gave me a great idea that has helped me....

    I weigh myself in the morning when I get up then again in the evening just before bed. This lets me know what I ate during the day that could have contributed to a huge weight gain. I go by the numbers in the AM as actual weight loss or gain.

    Every morning. I only start to panic if I'm 3 above goal. I've lost 200 pounds and fear it will all come back again so +3 is my limit.

    I only weigh myself once a week or else I'll get obsessed with the numbers on the scale. I'm looking more for wearing smaller pants, not a smaller number.

    First thing Friday morning, after using the bathroom, nekkid. Best way! lol
