I originally thought I'd only weigh in once a week, but I'm getting antsy! How often do you weigh in?

    I weigh daily, but only record on Thursdays. I like to see the impact of food on my waist and I totally get that an increase is water weight.

    I have heard that it is not good to weigh in daily, but I must admit I weigh in every morning as part of my getting up routine. It helps keep me on track. If I was a little off the day before and pick up a few ounces I will be more mindful that day and if I lost then I'm in a good mood and still reminded to stay on point. So it works for me.

    Probably 15 times a day. Bad habit, I know. lol But I like to see how much it fluctuates. Official weigh in days are once a week though.

    I never weigh myself. I see my progress through the way I look and feel, and what I can do (ex. how many more pushups I can do, how far/long I can run, etc.).

    I weigh myself every couple days or so cuz I'm curious but only do official weigh ins once a week. Your weight fluctuates throughout the day and daily so I try not to really pay attention to all the in between weigh ins and only take stock in the weekly one for progress.

    Every couple weeks or so, depending. If I've been really good about my eating, exercise, etc I will weigh every 2 weeks. If I know I've screwed up a lot in the past week or two, I skip for another few weeks until I get back on track. If I don't do this, seeing the numbers go up or stay the same on the scale is upsetting and screws with me.

    I weigh daily and log it weekly.

    I weigh daily because I find it motivational. Even though scales fluctuate for reasons out of our control, it motivates me to work harder the days that it goes up even by 0.1

    I weigh myself every time I'm in the bathroom (I broke this bad habit awhile back, but I've started doing it again).. I only log it once a week. My weigh day is Friday morning.

    I weigh myself several times a day, out of curiosity about the fluctuations, but I only record it here every Friday.

    Unfortunately daily, and it's driving me nuts with the ups and ups and not too may downs. I officially check in my weight on Mondays.

    Once a week.
    Every Sunday morning before breakfast.
    It's how I like to end my week, so I can see how much more I need to push myself in the upcoming week, lol.

    Daily just frustrated me cause it's up and down all the time, lol so weekly works better for me.

    I weigh myself every Tuesday morning before getting into the shower. I figure if I had a crazy weekend by Tuesday my body should be somewhat regulated. Its just become a routine now.

    Once a week...........I made a deal with another MFP friend to weigh & record on Monday's. I know it's working for me cuz I don't want to break that promise with another person...weird thing I break promises to myself ALL the time it seems! Go figure!!!

    Your weight naturally fluctuates 5 lbs. Weigh in once a week at the same time in the same clothing.

    I weigh once a week or every other week.

    I weigh every day, but I log once a week.

    This month I am keeping a daily journal of weights every day, what days I'm at the gym, and how many calories I ate that day so that I can see what is working best for me!

    Whenever I get curious! BUT I only record on Saturday mornings, before eating or drinking anything and after using the bathroom. Even though I might check everday and the numbers might not change, I can FEEL the difference.

    twice each on two sets of scales each morning, then calculate the 7 day average from the first set of scales and log that to MFP

    I weigh in daily, but only log loss as well. Weighing in daily shows me how much my weight fluctuates. Also if I'm up several days I can be more strictly adherent to my diet, it sort of motivates me.
