Lot's of people tell me not to but I weigh everyday.0

I've been doing it once a week, but when i know i've been good all week by the 4th day i want to get on the scales and see haha. I'm inpatient to wait.0
-
Currently, I do once a week at the same time.0

Daily, in the morning after I've gone wee.0

daily. I also view it as just a number, not a reason to celbrate or panic.0
-
Every morning. I'd be too scared to wait a whole week and not see any results... better to know ahead of time.0
-
Daily, in the morning when I first wake up. I track it using the Weight Bot app on my Iphone. I love seeing the progress from day to day and week to week.
I know it is suggested to do it only once a week, but daily works for me.0 -

daily but i got discouraged this morning so I'm getting my boyfriend to hide my scales till friday! I have a goal to hit by friday and the way the scales are looking i'm not going to get there so i'm hiding the scales so i don't get discouraged from it!0

Hi I always weigh myself daily, the thing is though it can become a habit and not necessarily a good one!0

Daily. But I have to remind it's normal for weight to fluctuate. I can drop 3 pounds one day and put 1-2 pounds on the very next day, doing absolutely nothing different. As long as the graph shows a downward trend over a couple of weeks or months, I'm happy. I have tried to not weight myself or only weight once a week, but then I just sit there and wonder how I'm doing. Slightly obsessive I guess.0

Tsk Tsk Tsk i see alot of people do it daily it kinda is a bad habit but i always recomend to my friends and family not to do it daily because when i would do it daily i would lose 1-2 pounds and gain 2-3 pounds the next and i would get discouraged, so I weight myself on thurs and then again on monday so i even if i lost one pound i would be satisfied because i weigh less that last time, also if you do it daily it starts to become an obsession

Daily. Every morning as soon as I wake up. I know the scale will fluctuate from day to day, and weighing daily keeps me on track so I don't get tempted to gorge myself on anything.0

whenever i feel like i'm doing some progress - about every 10 days or so - i don't want to look at the scale and see it go up- would prefer to see it go down or stay the same is fine as long as i don't gain.0

Once a week on a Friday morning when I wake up, on an empty stomach.0

Before and after taking a dump - just as a source of pride. Eating A LOT of food makes for impressive bowls full :glasses:
Otherwise I am on a 3 month hiatus from looking at my weight. I am enjoying lots of food and lots of energy to work out hard. If I paid attention to my weight and not my strength gains/measurements it would derail my plan.0 -
I weigh myself every morning. I can't help it, I jump outta bed and hop on the scale. =P
I take measurements and photos weekly.0 -

I love it when a woman isn't afraid to speak her mind!0 -
For the first 70lbs, I weighed myself every morning. For the next 20lbs, weekly. Now, because I'm building muscle and actually gaining weight (but losing body fat percentage!) only once a month.0
