    That's how often I weigh myself. I used to weigh myself every day but it got to be a bit frustrating. Then the batteries on my scale died and I didn't replace them for a month.... I found that not obsessing helped :) haha! Once a week, at the same time, under the same circumstances (nekkid vs un-nekkid) and you'll have an accurate guage.

    I try to stick to just once a week but that darn cute Wii Fit Board gets all sad if you don't do a daily body test (essentially a weigh-in)...I find when I weigh myself every day I get a little disheartened as the weight does fluctuate daily so once a week is definitely better in my opinion....or every 4 days as I usually can't wait that long!

    Every morning. I dont see the problem with this as long as you understand there will be day-to-day flucuations

    The little Wii Fit board is very cute and kind of persuasive lol ;)

    I weigh myself every day but I know that my weight will fluctuate and I don't worry about it. I only log my weight when it drops lower than it's been before. For most people I would recommend once a week. =)

    I weigh myself every morning. That way I don't get too far off track if/when I overindulge.

    The scale is my friend. I hop on that thing like a surfer hops on their surfboard. We ride the waves toward smaller numbers together, enjoying the warm summer breeze~

    A few times a week. But I only log it on here if I have actually lost a pound. I'm attempting to lose 1/2 lb a week so it's slow going. If I start to get frustrated, then I take a break from it.

    I am only weighing in once a month. In previous attempts I would obsess about the scale, and let it dictate how my day was going to go. Nope, I am not doing that anymore.

    I have a lot of weight to lose, so I am confident that if I am doing all the right things, the weight will come off. I want to focus on exercise. Measurements. Getting all my fruits and veggies in. Different goals than just weight.

    Every morning, right after peeing (TMI??). That way I know its at the same time of day, same clothes (essentially....not many :p), and under the same conditions (just woke up, haven't eaten/drank anything). Yes, its the "lightest" time of the day, but that's okay by me :)

    Every morning before coffee that seems to be the best baseline for me.

    Honestly, I know I shouldn't but I do it daily. ALTHOUGH, I only really seriously pay attention to what the scale says about once a week if that makes any sense at all. LoL
