    Usually every morning because I like to. I only log when I see a loss.

    Same

    WAAAYYY too much...like sometimes 5+ times per day. I obviously don't record all of those weights but I'm just curious. It's probably a good thing my scale is currently low on battery though...I think I need a break from it!

    Once as soon as I get up in the mornings and once right before I go to bed. I like to see how what I eat makes my weight fluctuate. I record on Saturday mornings.

    Every morning. I like to know that I'm heading in the right direction.

    I am a bit unusual as i only weigh in and measure up 1/month or so (At the local Boots store). For me, at the momment, seeing the numbers go down is not top priority, getting myself in better shape and feeling fiiter is.

    only when I go to the docs. My next weigh in is like June 14th. But I prefer it this way or I will become obsessed with the scale. :)

    Once a week, every friday morning. I started stepping on it multiple times a day and I was driving myself insane!

    I weigh and measure daily so that I can spot trends that cause fluctuations, stalling in weight, and loss.

    For instance, I've had some pretty big deficits lately, and my weight either increased a bit or stalled. Yesterday, I managed to eat back my calories... and the scale started to go down again. If I repeat this again today and see a slight decrease in weight again tomorrow morning, and again the next day, then I can conclude that I was undereating and my body was holding on to calories because of it. I do the same with measurements.

    Daily, I find it keeps me accountable. I only log my weight when I have a loss...which has been awhile:bigsmile:

    Every morning, right after I get up, pee, and brush my teeth. I know every day isn't usually a good idea, but I find it helps keep me focused. Plus, when the scale goes down, I take it as a sign of a good day!

    Once a week for me. But, if I'm having a bad week I may get on it just to keep myself in check!

    As of right now I have fallen into my old habit of twice a day. Once in the morning and once before bed.

    I don't consider myself obsessed, I just need to know if what I'm eating and burning are doing what they should be.

    I was only stepping on the scale once a week and that always resulted in confusion. I was bouncing up and down each week between 214 and 218, but never dipping below 214.

    Maybe once a month. I get discouraged easily, and if I had been trying to lose for even just a week and didn't lose at least a pound I start binge eating and undo everything. I'm one of those people who expect weight to fall off in a day. I like to go on the way I feel and how my clothes fit.

    To record an official weigh in? Sat. mornings. I might check here and there but it not my official weekly recording.

    Depends, when I have time in the morning (I'm ALWAYS way to late) on school days and Saturday and Sunday. Maybe four times a week.
