Just curious if you have a specific routine... every week, two weeks??

    Every other day or every third day. I update my MFP weight once a week. I just have a love/hate relationship with the scale. But it's not too bad - I have lost 5 lbs this week!

    I do it every day or every other. which isnt good because it fluactuates quite a bit like that. For example one day I weighed in AM at 199 and at the end of the night I was 204 then the next morning I was 199 again. :huh:

    normally daily, every morning. I have been trying to stay off the scale and only weigh in 2X a month.

    I do an "official" weigh in on Tuesday's- which I record here on MFP, But I weigh myself often just to see how much fluctuation I have in between. Also, it's best to weigh in the am before you eat anything!

    Every couple of days right after I drop the kids off and before I eat.

    Mornings, typically on Monday's or mid week. Only step on it once a week at most.

    I used to have this problem. It was sooo stressful when I went up, which I did pretty regularly. Problem was, the more I went up, the more stress I had, so the more I went up again. It was sabotaging my weight loss.

    So... I finally listened to my hubby and a bunch of people on MFP. I now weigh myself in once a week, Friday mornings.

    And guess what, the scale consistently goes down now. Week after week. Love it!

    Once a month, only because women's weight fluctuates TOO DARN MUCH! lol so i do it once a month to remain sane! lol

    Every Sunday morning, after my monring pee but before everything else. To me, first thing in the mornings are best because you have sweated out a lot of the water overnight, so it "feels" more consistent. Any other time has too many variables with respect to what I've eaten, drank, any bowel movements, etc. I do Sundays because it was the only day where I have managed not to forget.

    Every Sunday morning is my official weigh-in, but sometimes I have random scale addicitions which lead me to weigh myself every day :/ I currently haven't weighed myself since Tuesday, YAY!

    I personally weigh myself daily. I always have, because I tend to gain when I don't. That said I officially record once a week after...waking up and going to the loo.

    I weigh myself every Friday morning after I use the bathroom and before I eat or drink anything, I also do it naked ;) plus I do measurements once a month.

    At least three times a day, everyday.

    I am going to weigh myself every week, on a Friday morning before breakfast. Your weight fluctuates daily naturally so getting weighed every day won't give a true picture (or thats what I've been told).

    Thursday morning only - once a week works best for me

    I officially weigh in every Friday morning before I eat breakfast and after I've done my business.

    I generally weigh myself everyday just to see what is going on. It's interesting to me, but it doesn't really get me down. At this point, I know how my body operates. I know I'll have some up days and some down days depending on my eating, and I'm cool with it NOW. When I first started, I used to freak out. LOL

    Every morning when I wake up. Then, if I had a good day the day before and I lost weight, it gives me motivation. If I had a bad day the day before and I gained weight, I know I need to step it up!

    That's why I had to ask... If I weigh myself daily I have a mental breakdown!! lol

    I decided once a week on Friday :)

    On Thursday morning so I can see how I'm doing for the week, and on Monday morning to see how I did over the weekend.
