    FAAAAAR too often- three times a day at least! I only log it once a week though, but feel I need to stay in controle by checking the scales three times- in morning, when daughter goes to bed and then when I go to bed- to prepare me for the morning ahead.

    Get really nervous in the days before weighing day... am a bit opsessed at moment. Hope it will pass when I reach my target weight!

    Once a day. I like to see the trends and how what I eat affects my body weight -- I find it interesting.

    Me too - it's really interesting to see how much weight can fluctuate from day to day. I don't get upset it it's a few pounds higher one day and I don't celebrate if it's a few pounds lower. I only record once a week.

    I like to weigh myself every morning, buck naked (except for my glasses, without which I would not be able to read the weight...hmmm maybe somedays I'll begin to take them off, first), after I pee first. It's like Christmas! Always a surprise, some good, some bad, but I've become a pretty good judge of which direction I'm headed before I take that step. I like the instant feedback of the previous day's activities. But that's just me.

    About once or twice a week. When I blow it off for awhile, it seems like the weight starts coming back. But if I do it daily, the fluctuations can drive me nuts!

    Everyday, sometimes a couple times a day, but I don't record it until weigh-in day which is Friday.

    Actually, you can just click on "Settings" at the top of the forums and tick the box to show your ticker automatically. :)

    Staying on topic, I weigh myself in the morning and at night before bed. I'd like to think if I weigh myself daily, it keeps my weight loss journey fresh in my mind. Also, if I weigh weekly, I am more likely to cheat, convincing myself I can "make up for it" when it gets close to weigh-in time.

    I got Wii Fit for valentines day so I weigh in daily with it. I absolutely love my Wii Fit and would recommend it to anyone!

    not often actually, I like to determine my goals more on how I look and feel rather then the actual weight. Maybe I'm just weird like that. I mean if I lost weight but I can't "see" it then I'm still like :(

    I my weigh myself everyday sometimes more than once. During the week I weigh myself when I wake up and before I go to bed. I don't freak out over my weight much. I know I will weigh more at night and that my weight can change from day to day. But I like to weigh myself often, it helps me stay focused and if I notice my weight seems to be going up I can look at what I have been doing and change it asap :)

    Also I only truly weigh in once a week, on friday. That's the only weight that 'counts' for me.

    I read a study recently that stated people who weigh themselves daily are more likely to loose weight and keep it off. The thinking behind the findings is : the accountability of seeing your weight daily has a greater effect on how you choose to behave the rest of the day.
    I think the important thing is to do what is best for you! I've seen people post that weighing in everyday drives them crazy; to see the numbers go up and down has a negative impact on thoughts and then behavior...this is clearly an example of a person who should NOT weigh in every day!

    weight loss and health is an individual journey. It's a race you run at your own pace. It's all about finding out what rules work and dont work for you! the basics are the same; eat less, move more.

    Here is to healthy living!

    Every day....Sometimes a couple times a day.....

    I broke that habit today though.....I am only weighing once a day and in the morning before breakfast like your suppose too :drinker:

    i'm the same way! i, like a lot of americans, want instant gratification, and enjoy seeing the scale move down :)
