    Every single morning. Even though I should just do once a week.... I can't resist though!

    I have been weighing daily, and EVERYDAY the scale has been down.

    I weigh myself once a week, in the morning. Otherwise, I'd be obsessed at the scale and depressed because no instant changes. All about discipline.

    Once a week on Friday mornings. You should not be concerned or worried about the scale. This is a journey and your body will fluctuate. You could have a really good week, then the next week not so good, but as long as you keep moving in the right direction and not get discouraged that is what is important. And YES!! How your body feels is a good thing.

    I weigh myself Sunday mornings, first thing. I workout Monday - Saturday and Sunday is my rest day.

    I weigh every morning first thing. I know it will go up and down some and that's okay. It makes me more aware of how I'm doing. I log weight in on Saturday morning.

    Every Thursday first thing in the morning. The important thing is to always weigh yourself at the same time, on the same scale.

    I weigh in every Friday, after I use the restroom and before I fix my coffee. :smile: And I usually try to wear the same thing to weigh in. :tongue:

    If you're actively losing weight, I'd say weigh yourself once a week. That way you don't feel frustrated if you gain a half a pound a day. You'd be surprised how much weight fluctuates.
    Also weigh yourself at the same time every day. I particularly do it after I wake up in the morning or after my workout early morning before I ingest food.

    Well I had been doing it daily, but I realized that I was focusing on that number way too much. So now I'm only doing it on Monday mornings.

    This is a touchy subject for me. :grumble: The scale and I are finally on speaking terms after a few months of it not budging. Granted, I've been circuit training with weights so I built muscle.

    Anyways, I usually weight once to twice a week. The scale and I are back on speaking terms now. :tongue:

    I was doing it weekly, but now I'm on a self challenge to do it monthly.

    I weigh myself almost every morning as a point of reference, but I only update my progress once a week to avoid getting all worked up about any minor fluctuations.

    If you can disconnect what you are seeing daily from the progress you are ultimately making, I don't think weighing daily is a terrible thing. It keeps you consistent and grounded and there are no surprises at the end of the week because you are aware of what your body is doing everyday.

    I think most people don't do it everyday because it's really hard to stay motivated when each time you look at the scale the numbers have no pattern of decline or incline and so every week or every 2 weeks works. And is more of a general progression of what is happening. With no need to fret about the everyday goings on.

    I like knowing daily or every few days what's going on with my body. It doesn't stress me if I get heavier because it will happen. It's the disconnect from what you are seeing and the progress you are making which is the key to doing it everyday.

    Once a week, this is helpful I hate the scale so to get on it stresses me out. But I have to so I can have something to measure my progress.

    I weigh myself and take note of it every night before I go to bed... I don't concentrate too much on gains and losses day to day but it gives me an idea of where the pounds are coming or going over the month or week as a whole. Sometimes I'll make note of if it's TOM or if I had a really 'bad' day or whatever. So long as I'm ending the month with a lower number than I started with I'm happy but weighing every day doesn't work for everyone..

    Once a week. I've checked daily before but that was pointless due to daily fluctuation.

    I started weighing myself weekly..then I started weighing myself daily just to watch my weight pattern..I actually lost 2 pounds from Sunday to Monday..i believe certain factors can cause you to gain or lose without any change in your calorie intake or activity level..If you have a day where you consume more sodium than usual, your body holds on to water..If you exercise hard and build muscle, muscle tension and increasing muscle mass can cause you to gain weight because muscle weighs more than fat..and constipation can make you gain weight..lol
