    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

    Everyday, once first thing in the morning and once before I go to bed.

    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.

    I weigh myself every morning. I don't get discouraged by it at all, because it's a fact that your weight fluctuates. I'm just fascinated by it and like to see how it changes. I write it down on a calendar in my kitchen and I like to be able to look at where my weight goes during different times in the month.

    Every ten days, on my ten (10, 20 30, 40) day! It gives me time to see a difference!

    I waited 10 days til i weighed myself and lost 2lb. I wouldn't do it everyday because it fluctuates so much so I'd rather wait at least a week til weighing in.
    Also, does anyone know how to make the weight ticker thingy move? i typed in my new weight but the ticker didnt move. I should say that I've lost 2lb but it still says 0!

    4 times every morning, twice on a rubbish set of Weight watchers body composition scales (one contact for each foot - almost pointless, but it's what I started my journey with, so to keep my graph honest I've got to keep on doing it) and twice on my Tanita body composition scales (two contacts for each foot and hand. about as good as you can get for that method of estimate)

    my weight varies, but I look at the trend not the daily reading itself.

    I weigh myself daily, just because I am a curious cat, and plot each day's weight on a chart. I love to see the general trend. I weigh myself weekly for MFP purposes. Always first thing in the morning after bathroom, before breakfast!

    I weigh myself almost everyday butt naked and first thing in the morning after the bathroom. I dont think it is discouraging; it keeps me in check. I know that if I ate something bad for me or too high in sodium or carbs that the scale may reflect it. I also understand that we naturally fluctuate a few lbs... I simply use it as information to help aid me throughout the day. It makes me aware of what I am doing and helps to make sure that I am not gaining the weight back.
    ^ this. Every time I've taken a break from NOT weighing myself daily, I put on some pounds.

    Although I just started with MFP a couple of days ago, I have always weighed myself at the same time every morning - I like to see what the changes are from day-to-day and am prepared for the possibility of my weight being higher in the morning than it was the day before, but I don`t let it get me down. I am thrilled so far with the fact that I am sticking to this plan and love all the different types of communication.

    after a really good poop... :) lol kidding :)

    I weight myself once a week, naked to help out! but shoot it seems like the majority weights daily.

    MFP should put a polling system. It would be easier for these questions than reading through ALL the posts!

    Ive been weighing myself everyday...Looking at the scale makes me happy and keeps me motivated if i have lost and even if it hasnt movied it makes me want to work even harder and take a good look at what i do on the daily. So its a win win for me to check everyday :)

    I know I shouldn't, but I weigh myself every day. The scales are in the bathroom and they're just so tempting because I have to walk past it to get to my room! I only record it once a week though, Sunday mornings in my jammies before I eat anything :)

    I only weigh myself and do it at the same time every morning. I don't see any point in weighing in everyday the weight just does not come off that fast.

    When I had an ED, I weighed myself about 10 times a day. Now I am done to twice usually. I weigh myself first thing in the morning to get my "real weight", and I weigh myself before bed....just out of curiousity really.

    I weigh once a day in the morning but honestly I am considering moving the scale to a hiding place. I gained two pounds but I know why and I know that I am losing inches.

    Awesome, give you props for conquering the ED

    I weigh myself almost every single morning. It actually keeps me motivated and honest about how I'm doing.

    I weigh everyday. While it can be discouraging not to see the scale go down every time, I find it very exciting even if I am down 2/10 of a pound.
