    Every morning before I shower. I graph daily to watch the trends.I fluctuate about 4 pounds up/down during the week. It doesn't bother me or ruin my day when the number is up. I am getting pretty good at predicting what the number will be!

    I record my weight every Monday morning, but step on the scale at least once every morning, and some nights too.

    I log my weight everyday at the gym. In the morning at the same time wearing the same type of clothes.

    i've been told and read that you shouldn't every day because it fluctuates so much day to day. if the scale is there i will weigh myself multiple times a day, however, my boyfriend hides it from me until it's time for my weekly weigh in and i actually kind of prefer it that way. lol

    every friday morning. sometimes I have to push myself to even do that... I get so nervous, I don't want anything to do with it. I hide it high up in the closet during the rest of the week.

    3-5 mornings per week. I only log increases if they last for more than 3-4 days. I log decreases everytime I see them.

    I officially weigh in once a week, on Thursday mornings, but I do hop on the scale a few more times during the week, to see if I'm on track, or how bad my weekend was.

    I was stepping on the scale everyday..but it fluctuated too much. So Once a week on the same day works for me now. I have to say though..it's taking me 3weeks to see a weight loss...which is aggravating..but i will lose 3-4lbs. I just have to be patient and make the right food choices and it will eventually pay off...not as fast as I would like..but than again--i'm not consistent in exercise yet either!

    Every single day sometimes more than once a day lol I am obsessed with weighing myself. I love to see how what I ate the day before effects my weight and sometimes at night after I'm done eating I like to see how much more I weigh than at the beginning of the day. I know I might be a little weight crazy.

    Every couples days, pretty regularly, it really shows you where your "normal" is. My weight fluctuates about a pound and a half and I do notice a difference considering what I ate the previous day. But it's always firt thing in the morning, with no clothes on before I've eaten anything. If I forget in the morning, I don't weigh myself until the next morning, I don't want to be discouraged if it's higher than I'm used to during the day. I think consistency is important.

    Every two weeks-ish. Last time I weighed myself was mid month and then again at the end of the month. I'm not really a weight watcher as much as an inch counter. My pants are so loose now so I know I'm on my way.
    PLUS!
    If you're honest with your count and fitness then every two weeks when you've weighed a loss of 2 or 3 you feel awesome!!!

    I only step on a scale at the doctor's. I meant to weight myself yesterday at the gym but completely forgot! I don't own a scale but I am curious what my weight is.

    I just ripped the battery out of my scale....I was getting a bit obsessed! lol Just need a break because it can be so discouraging when you work so hard and nothing is moving!

    Every morning and every night before bed. Just curious how much I gain in a day and if it's different again in the morning.

    Almost everyday before I hit the shower, only log on Friday mornings though, but it's fun to see if anything has happened. This past week I've avoided the scale though, I want tomorrow to be a surprise! :D :P

    Just curious how often everyone steps on the scale and why you step on it that frequently or less frequently?

    Every morning I am at home. Why?
    For guidance on whatever I am working on.

    Every morning as soon as I get out of bed, it keeps me motivated all day. My official weigh in day is Saturday, that way I can't flub on the weekends.

    every morning first thing...I know but it helps me keep my salt intake down, cause I can see when I had too much the day before!
