    I weigh every day. I have a calendar in front of the scale where I write down what I weigh every day of the week for months and months. I can see an overall downward trend and I know days I am up. It makes me consider what I did the day before and if it was worth what the scale says. Its giving me a very good idea of eating certain things does to my body.

    I weigh if I'm bored and I get the urge. But I never count it as my official weigh in until Monday, early in the morning when I haven't eaten yet.

    About 10 times in the morning. Then a few at night.

    I weigh myself everyday. Partially because I'm obsessed and it is now a part of my morning routine, but it also helps motivate me. Just say I lost some weight the day before, I weigh myself the next day and see that I gained it back, I can take note of what I did that may have contributed to the gain and improve the day ahead of me.

    I weigh everyday, and plan to for a long time. Not getting on the scales more often than I did is how I got this big. Obviously I realize that what and how much I was eating is what got me this size...but not getting on the scales and being aware of what the scale was doing was not smart for me personally. I don't want to let my weight 'sneak' back up ever again!!

    I have been weighing myself everyday. I know this is not a healthy way to approach weight loss. What do you do?

    I do everyday first thing in the morning.

    x2s a week. Once the day after my rest days in the morning because its generally higher after rest/recovery days and once at the end of the work out week to give me the most accurate end week result.


    Edit: I'm experiencing Deja vue here lol

    I weigh every day because I like to see how it fluctuates. Even a .2 drop works for me, and I'm not one to freak out if I gain a pound or two in a day. I'm liking the downward trend I'm seeing, and that's motivating!

    Once a week, in the morning, before I've eaten and after I've used the rest room.

    Once a week on Mondays. Sometimes I will hop on just to see during the middle of the week but I try to stick with once a week.

    When I've done well, I'd been weighing just about everyday. Now that I am remembering that I guess I should go back to it. It keeps me mindful and honest with myself.

    I weigh every morning and at bedtime and write my weight in a tablet. This helps keep me on track and I know when I'm losing or gaining. I only record my weight loss once a week on here if I do have a loss. If you find the weighing is driving you nuts, then just weigh once a week. Good luck to you:)

    Once a week, on Friday mornings before I eat anything. If I have a gain I tend to weigh myself every day for the next few days just to see if it goes away.

    I don't own a scale, if I weigh, it is usually at the doctor's office which would be every couple of months or so. I measure weekly and go by the fit of my clothes. To keep me motivated, I took "before" pictures.

    Every morning with no clothes on, so I can get the most accurate weight. I think its a rewarding approach, it boosts my self esteem and reminds me of why I'm dieting :)
