I am making myself wait, doing it every Monday.

    Often. But do I believe it? Not really. I've stopped taking what the scale says seriously a long time ago.

    I've found other more reliable ways of tracking my progress.

    Every day, throughout the day (for fun). I can handle the fluctuations because I've learned how my body works.

    I used to weigh-in everyday, but now I log it weekly.

    I've tried a lot of variations and found what works best for me is to get on the scale every other day.

    When I feel skinnier. I let my body give me a hint, like I'm having to wear a belt with a pair of pants that I didn't need to last week. Things like that.

    It turns out to be like every 10 days or so.

    Once a week, just to see how things are going. Go more by how my favorite jeans fit. They don't fit yet but they will :)

    I measure every week - but I weigh every two weeks...it's a way of avoiding my t.o.m and having it affecting me lol

    I weigh myself (naked) every Friday morning before I shower.

    I try not to take it too seriously, but I am very fearful about gaining weight mainly because I lost a lot of weight my last couple of years in college just to gain it all back after I got married. I want to maintain my weight at about 140 lbs. so I'm paranoid to eat over my calories allotted. I run 10 miles 4 days a week and have a day at 13 miles (around 7:30 minute mile pace; training for my first marathon in December). Luckily even with a couple of days a week being over allotted calories I seem to stay right around 139 lbs. - 142 lbs (which I am assuming is more water weight than anything).

    I log my weight in on Friday mornings when I wake up...after I have been good all week. I do weigh myself every day and sometimes a few times a day but I dont take it too seriously.

    Every morning, but I log it every Friday and I just started taking my measurements. Today was the first time since last Friday and there was some loss, but I am thinking that once a week might be too often for measurements...maybe every two?

    I prefer to weigh myself every Friday AM right after I wake up...because I am very disciplined Monday through Friday...Friday AM gives me an idea how my weekend should be.

    Weigh less in the AM after waking up.

    Whenever I feel like it. Like the other poster, I don't let the fluctuations bother me too much as long as there is an overall downward trend.

    I log once a week or less.

    I weigh for myself every day, but I only log it in MFP once a week. I like to see how it fluctuates, and I'm tracking it on a spreadsheet so that I get an idea of how everything affects those daily fluctuations.

    Used to weigh multiple times a day. Haven't weighed myself, or had a desire to do so, for 52 days & counting. I've found how my clothes fit & how I feel to be a better measure of my success rather than the scale. I threw my scale out the day I saw I gained 7 pounds yet my work pants were too big for the first time ever :drinker:

    Twice a month! First and last day of each month (includes body measurement as well). I used to weigh twice a week in March and April, which showed me I was gaining weight despite losing inches. It made me crazy even though I know not to rely solely on what the scale says.

    I tend to weigh myself everyday or every other day, but I only really care about what it says on weigh in day and log it once a week! :) I really wanna stop weighing all the time though because sometimes it affects my mood!

    That is exactly the weight I am going for.
    Once I get to it, I won't be counting calories anymore.
    With your metabolism, surely you won't have a problem!
    I Love to exercise. Thanks for sharing.

    few times throughout the week, whenever I feel like stepping on the scale at the gym.

    Not to drive myself insane or anything, but it's amusing to see how it fluctuates. Once in a while I weigh myself before i pee and then after just for giggles.

    I know the feeling! And I am making myself WAIT, but using the motivation to keep working and making improvements...hopefully this will give me encouraging results on the scale this coming Monday! :)MinMin
