When do you weigh?

When do you weigh yourself? Do you have a strict schedule, a certain day, a certain time, or do you just weigh at random?

I only weigh once a week, always in the morning after I use the bathroom, before I eat or drink anything, usually on a Thursday.

I'm curious as to what everyone else does...?

    Every Saturday morning. Get up, go to the bathroom if needed, take off my clothes and get on the scale. :laugh:
    I used to weigh everyday, multiple times a day. WOW, what a fast way to drive yourself crazy. Weighing in just once a week has been kind of liberating for me.

    I agree, I used to do the same thing, now I weigh once a week and the bigger number give me more motivation to keep going, opposed to everyday and not losing anything on some days. I weigh without my clothes too lol

    Lol, are you actually losing weight everyday? I bet that is nice! I can't weigh everyday or I drive myself nuts if I'm not losing.

    I usually weigh in about once every two weeks. I do this immediately following a morning run and before I eat or drink anything. I also try to focus less on weight and more on how I look and feel.

    I weigh on Saturday mornings before I eat and without clothes. I find it best because if I go out on the weekend and then weigh on Monday, I'm not happy with the results. It's better for me to weigh on Saturday after I've been good all week than to weigh on Monday after I've splurged a bit on the weekend.

    Usually every morning.
    Its always at 6:45 am, after I wake up and use the bathroom, and before I eat anything for the day.

    I usually weigh in on Fridays. Sometimes if I've been having an awesome few days workout-and-calorie-wise, I'll weigh myself again just to see if I've lost. I'm not very addicted to the scale though...I tend to forget to weigh myself until I see everyone on my friends list weighing in.

    I ONLY weigh myself first thing in the morning though after I've used the restroom.

    I agree, but the numbers help keep me motivated.

    Everyday in the morning, just to remind myself to watch what I put into my mouth.

    I used to weigh daily, multiple times a day (before eating, after, before working out, after, etc.) for years. It was a terrible obsession. I finally mustered up the courage to throw away my scale last week. Proud to say I have no idea how much I weigh & that's totally okay with me. I'm focusing on how my clothes are fitting and how my body feels, rather than some stupid number that would make or break my day (regardless of how my body actually looked).

    Random. I don't own scales, so I only weigh myself at other people's houses. Last time was about 7 weeks ago.

    Once per week on a Sunday morning is when I weigh. Always naked, after a wee, when I first rise from my pit.

    Everyday in the morning as I get up...it helps keep me on track.
    I will also sometimes weight at night just cause I'm curious as to how much you lose over night lol

    I weigh-in every Saturday morning first thing. I used to weigh-in everyday but I was finding more disappointment after "feeling" like I had a good day the previous day and seeing a weight gain the next! Weighing in once-a-week has given me a sense of anticipation. It actually has made me work harder during the week and it's a nice reward to see, for instance, 1 lb lost instead of .2!

    I aim for once a week in the morning, but I usually end up weighing a lot more frequently than that :grumble:

    I totally agree with that. I like the bigger numbers!

    Religiously every morning after I pee. LOL...I can't help it. I have to know!

    I also don't like surprises or clowns. It's an ongoing problem...

    Monday nights, at the gym, in my underwear. I know it's better to do it in the morning but it has just become a ritual to do it Monday evening before I work out, and I don't have a scale at home (which is probably a good thing!).

    I checked for the first 2 days ago and don't plan to check for another month or more if I can help it.

    I keep wanting to do it more, but I'd just be depressed if I saw no progress and it'd be super unmotivating for me.
