    Once a week, but I always subtract 10 pounds. I don't think a lady should be penalized on the scale for her brains and her boobs. :tongue:

    Once a week, Friday mornings before I eat or drink anything and after I go to the bathroom...naked. Sometimes I get a week where I feel like weighing every day but that just drives me nuts so I try really hard to only step on the scale once a week!

    I used to weigh myself every day, back when I had an eating disorder and weighed 7.5 - 8 stone.

    Now, I weigh myself every 4-6 weeks. Always first thing in the morning.

    I weigh myself at least once a week, but try to do it twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, always in the morning at the same time of day. For me doing it twice a week gives me time in between to notice the results I might not notice if I weighed daily, but I feel that the weigh ins are still close enough together that I can hold myself accountable and not gain all of the weight back on.

    I weigh myself everyday, but i only record it on sundays. I weigh everyday to help motivate me. When the scale reads lower i'm like "yes!! that workout was nice! i might be sore but i like seeing that number" and when the scale moves up im like "alright yesterday i did slack i need to work twice as hard this week. I wanna see those numbers back to yesterdays." I weigh myself not to see a smaller number but to motivate me.

    I weigh myself every Sunday am, right after I get up. Then I get a more accurate number change, and I know if I did any good or NOT.

    My boyfriend's mom told me to do it everymorning same time, after you pee but as soon as you can. She said she did a weightloss study before and she said write it down everyday so you know how much your body fluctuates during what time of the month it is. I hope this helps!

    I have been weighing myself everyday. Weighing myself daily keeps me focused.
    I do this too.

    Every night before bed i weigh myself, so see the effect certain foods have on my body(water weight, bloating etc). I also get measurements and BF % done at the end of each month.

    Wow once a month! I could never. I am struggling with every Monday morning. I want to walk around with my scale and weigh myself every hour, but................I will just stick with Mondays.

    Me too, want to sneek a peek every other day, but just stick to Sunday morning when I get up.

    I weigh myself every morning at the same time after I empty my bladder and shed my clothes. I only update my weight on my MFP approx 1x/week.... but I send my daily weight to my nutritionist who is monitoring my diet and exercise regimen.

    I would recommend 1x/week or every other week... always at the same time and either nude or wearing the same thing you were wearing at the initial weigh in.

    Every morning on wii fit. I need to see it to keep motivated.
    other people see a loss or a gain and self sabotage and should not daily weigh.

    Since I am just starting out on this journey I am weighing myself everyday. This way I can see the fluctuations and when I step back to evaluate what I am doing I can look at my food intake, exercise, and weight to see what I need to change. Maybe once I am really rolling with this I will only do it once a week.

    I weigh myself once a week - the morning of my 'cheat' day. It keeps me from going too far off the rails!

    I weigh myself every morning. If it isn't a good number then that makes me workout harder that day.

    i do it every day, and have for just over a year..i keep a journal of my daily weight, and have been doing it since day 1, and will continue to until i get to where i want to be, and can maintain..it is frustrating, but the body works in mysterious ways, and does what it wants i suppose..good luck

    Every other day. I know someone are against it but it works for me. And I know to know how my sometimes poor decisions affect me.
