    Once a week on Sunday night after I've gotten my final workout in for the week and finished eating. Basically before I go to bed lol.

    On the same topic....

    Do you weigh at night or in the morning?

    I used to weigh in almost every day but it got to be too nerve-wracking! ; ) Now, I weigh myself once a week, first thing Friday morn. I switched to Friday from Monday as it was a truer representation of my weight since Hubby and I eat out a couple of times on the weekend. (I only log my weight here once a week.)

    I weigh every day for tracking stats on another app...i only report my weigh in on Mondays :)
    It helps me stay on track, work harder and keeps me motivated!!

    I weigh in before and after my workouts every day I am in the gym. It doesn't change very much most the time, but I am starting to be able to tell what is effecting my weight.
    The kinda weird thing about weighing after workouts is I will be between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds lower, which means somewhere I left behind a quart of water. :S

    If it motivates you do it. If not, don't.

    I like the idea of weighing myself daily (same time same clothes) to give myself motivation! I think I will do that too but only log once a week like some of you say. Thanks for all the input! You guys rock!

    I used to hop on the scale daily, and I drove myself insane by doing it. Now, I put it in my closet, and I only weigh myself at the gym, which is usually twice a week.

    I try to remember to do it daily, but I'm maintaining so it's just to make sure I'm on a normal fluctuation and not accidentally eating too much.

    I always forget though so it ends up being 4~ times a week.

    Weekly - same day, same time....ie first thing in the morning. Its the best way to be accurate. Daily weight fluctuates too much.

    I weigh in everyday so I can see how my exercise and eating effects my weight but I log on the same day every week to record on mfp. So Tuesday will be my first weigh in.

    I weigh in daily but with ZERO drama.
    It's just a number, and I see these weekly weigh-ins as foolish.
    There is never any virtue in not knowing your weight when you are trying to lose.
    I recommend tracking weight trends over weeks into your program just to gauge progress.

    Too often people get stressed over a fluctuation or under pressure to fast or sweat water before the dreaded weekly weight in.
    That's just absurd.
    It's just a number.

    And we should all be tracking bodyfat as well.

    Remember, you rule the numbers - not the other way around.

    I can't stop myself from getting on the scale every day, but I only record my weight once a week. It keeps me from getting too obsessed with daily fluctuations.

    I weigh in every morning when I get up and log it. My month long graph looks like a saw blade at a 45 degree angle. Up down up down up down... but the overall trend is down.

    I agree about the fluctuations, but the daily weigh in helps in watching the trend and and staying on track, for me anyways.

    Also, my weigh in process is the exact same every day - I wake up, go pee, and then step on the scale. I find it to be most consistant this way.

    I weigh every day at the gym and log it in another app. Here I save for my official weigh-in at the doctor's, which is once a week.

    I weigh myself every morning after I've gone to the bathroom and in whatever I've slept in, which is usually a t-shirt and underpants. I log it every day. I have a digital scale that goes to the tenths place, and I like to see the ounces coming down. I don't usually sweat the pounds until I've gone up a pound. Any gain is motivation to work harder, or if I've skipped a workout, reason to not skip that day.

    I like knowing that even small progress, on the report graph, is still progress. Its also helping me see how having a cold is effecting my weight loss. (For those curious, its slowing it WAY down.) For a few days I was losing a half a pound a day, and it was freaking me out, but the daily weigh ins have helped to to wrap my head around the idea that yes, I am losing weight. (Unfortunately, the cold has helped me put some of that back on. :grumble: )

    Weigh in every morning to make sure everything is on the up and up, but it only counts as my 'official' weigh in on Fridays.

    I weigh in daily because I like getting a stamp on my calendar from doing the body test on WiiFit. Each month I choose a new stamp - hearts for February! But I try not to stress when it goes up because I know it'll go back down. I only record losses on my app and only after they're consistent, i.e. several days in a row at a weight.
