    I tend to weigh myself every morning just for my own interest, but I only record it once a week as that is so much more likely to show your actual progress rather than your water fluctuations

    THIS.

    So i've come to the nasty habit of weighing myself EVERY morning when I wake up. :indifferent: This isn't a good thing when you make a bad choice the day before (i.e yesterday - pizza! :embarassed: ) So today when I stepped on I had gained a little over a pound back. How often do you weigh yourself? How often SHOULD you weigh in?

    I am a lot like you and weigh myself everyday. I try to log only once a week but, have been know to log twice when in my favor...just a little bonus cheating :blushing:

    I weigh every morning when i get out of bed, helps me stay accountable and know via MFP diary, what is working for me and what is not, post weight to mfp about 1/week...

    Never :happy: Haven't owned a scale or weighed for 48 days & counting. I used to have a major obsession with the scale which would result in me sabotaging myself when I didn't see results or if I saw an unexplainable gain. Not anymore :drinker:

    every tuesday morning. no reason to make myself nuts over the daily swings, and also like to see a bigger loss number each time.

    I weigh every single morning and record it once a week. It helps keep me accountable.

    This is what I've been doing and also thought it would keep me accountable, but today I've read three seperate stories showing how the scale is a horrible demon trying to destroy you and all of the positivity you've been working so hard to keep for ladies who are doing primarily strength training, like me. So my weight has been barely moving/going up and my measurements haven't been moving either. I'm going to put the scale away and weigh myself every month now, I think.

    Weight daily same time morning. Record once a week or so. Measurements (neck, waist, hips) every 2-3 weeks or when I think about it. Using a body fat % monitor once a week or so. That is interesting to track as well. It goes up and down a bit like weight, but the trend is important if you have those sort of goals.

    Everyday, sometimes twice.

    This week I'm having my sister hide my scale and let it resurface on Friday morning.

    I weigh every morning and only log once a week and only if it is a loss, otherwise I discourage myself.

    every Monday or Tuesday, but I'm going to not weigh in for a few weeks because I like my ticker right now :tongue:

    Usually 1 time per week. Sometimes I peek and there are times when I don't weigh in for a month. It varies I guess.

    Pretty much daily, can't help it. I was a wrestler growing up and have always been in the habit of daily weigh-ins.

    I weigh in once a week on Monday morning (same time, just after I wake up and use the toilet) and also on the first of the month. I only take measurements once a month, on the first of the month. (When I weighed in more often than that, I became obsessive as if nothing else in life mattered other than my weight, which actually made me feel worse, not better.)

    I was JUST thinking of doing something similar... I am wearing myself out weighing all the time and getting discouraged LOL

    However much you want. I commit to do it once a week but actually suffer thru 3 times a week out of habit. I always suggest taking measurements but after seeing the following post today you may want to take pictures regularly instead.

    I weigh every morning, after I use the bathroom. I do it to keep myself accountable, and I don't freak out unless the number jumps and stays up for more than 3 days. It's mostly water weight differences that you see day-to-day...it's important for us daily-weighers to remember that!

    Whenever I feel like it but at least once a week. I try not to use the scale to torture myself though, so if I don't think I can take the results, I wait until I can.
