    My weigh in days are Friday mornings, at the same time, every week. this gives me something to look forward to after eating good and exercising all week. I know when I've had an "off" week of not enough exercise and don't expect much. I also measure myself once a month to see if any inches have come off. Checking weight everyday isn't consistent. When you are on weigh loss programs they do not suggest weighing in every day.

    Some recent studies show that people that weigh themselves every day actually lose more weight than people who weight themselves only once a week. It has to do with constant monitoring of progress. That said, you have to be able to weather than daily fluctuations without emotional stress.

    Can't believe some people weigh themselves once a month. That would drive me mad, I need to see what's happening good or bad as I might try and fit a extra walk or workout in the next week.

    Yes I weigh myself every morning first thing, and keep a record on my food notes. But only do one weekly update this works for me as I could not go all week, not knowing how my body is reacting to the food and exercise I've carried out.

    Hi hubby as you know I weigh every morning before breakfast and being to the loo. I sometimes weigh at night but not always if I've been bad I can access how much damage I've done and sometimes if I'm under calorie goal and not snacked as said before it keeps me accountable. If it creeps up a bit I factor in extra exercise.

    Every morning as soon as I wake up (but after I pee, of course!). Keeps me focused. If I have as light up day, I really make an extra effort that day with usually more exercise and less calories.

    I usually weigh in about once a month, mainly because I feel like I'm losing slowly, and seeing more at a time makes me feel better!

    your most accurate weight should be after you sleep, and wake up and evacuate your bowels and bladder............aka
    first thing in the am, after a poop and pee.

    keep in mind..........you drink a bottle of water.........you just "gained" a lb on the scale

    I weigh when I am at work (doctor's office, I can't stop myself!) but I only count my Friday weigh in.

    Every Monday morning having peeing and naked. And I record that weight. May weigh once during the week but not that often. I also rely on the tape measure too. I measure myself about once a month. I like to see the inches falling off too.

    I think it depends on your personality. I can easily get into the habit of weighing daily, but I get frustrated when I don't see movement that I think I should, so I make myself wait every week if not longer.

    But for those who don't get discouraged by not seeing any movement for days at a time, the daily thing can be helpful.

    I fully intend on weighing myself daily once I hit my goal weight to keep me in check and to ensure that I don't allow myself to gain more than a few pounds ever again.

    I weigh every day but I only "weigh in" once a week on Sunday mornings. That way I see the weekly fluctuations but I only count it once a week. :)

    I weigh like every 2/3 days. I only record my weight though once a week.

    I weigh myself once every couple of weeks. I'm not a daily or even weekly recorder of my weight through MFP.

    Once a week. Otherwise, I drive myself nutso. I usually skip the week that Aunt Flo comes to town because I know that I will be up about four pounds.

    i disappoint myself regularly--- every morning, naked, before i get into the shower. Rarely does it make me smile. I am under my calorie limit every day, exercise about 30 minutes a day, and still no loss for quite a while. I am beginning to hate that little message that always says, ""if you ate like this everyday, you woule weigh 155 in 5 weeks". Like Rot I would!! very discouraged.

    This^

    Every Saturday morning the scale and I meet at the appointed time. Usually after I walk the dog, and have a shower.

    "Hello, scale," I say, daring it to tell me something rude in reply. The scale does not respond, preferring to silently reproach me by the LCD alone. I had approached it hopefully earlier in the week, and it mocked me with numbers that I knew could not be true. Embarrassed by my folly, I slunk away, plotting to replace it with a more agreeable model.

    So, now I have returned on Saturday morning, at the correct time, and before it could think of something cutting to show me, I poked the button with my toe and hopped on. Two pounds gone! Pwned.

    I win this week, scale. Seeya next Saturday.

    I'm trying a no-scale March this month, but typically it's 2-3 times a day. Too obsessed with the scale, which is why I'm going no-scale.

    At the moment, I don't have a scale at home, so I only weigh when it's convenient. Between myself and the kids, someone is at the doctor every couple of weeks, so I just weigh when I go to the doctor. It's usually ever 2-4 weeks for me. Even if I had a scale at home, it wouldn't be more than every week. I'd make myself crazy if I did more than that.

    I weigh in every morning, but I'm only going to log losses/gains on Mondays at the same time every Monday.
