      I like to step on the scale every morning, but I only track on Monday's. It is starting to become a mind game that I need to break. Things were so much simpler when I wasn't concerned with a number...

      Everyday, in the morning. Measure on the first day of every month.

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

      This is how I weigh too.

      Daily in the morning.

      Helps me keep track of my sodium and my water intake

      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!
      ^^ This

      I have seen as much as an 8 pound difference in 10 hours.

      3 times a week. twice daily at work. I think because in my job we weigh the patients twice a day, and I work three days a week.

      As long as its at the same time of day and you are wearing the same type of clothes you will be able to chart your weight accurately. I prefer morning because it takes the food I have eaten all day out of the equation.

      Almost every morning (once a day). Right after I wake up and after using the restroom. I understand there are normal day-to-day weight fluctuations due to fluid or whatever, and that's fine with me. I just like to see that I'm finally down a good bit from my HW of 137.5... I've lost almost 10 pounds, the last couple since joining MFP.

      Every morning right after I wake up and go to the bathroom, before I eat. It helps because I'm still mindful of how "good" I was the day before with exercise and eating right.

      Every morning but I started to make a graph of my weight. I'm starting to be slightly concerned as for the past 3 days (including today) my weight is stuck at 67.0kg. But at least I didn't gain :)

      Daily but dont take much notice of it- but officially using chemist scales on Fridays :)

      I do a monday check in on the chemist scales too to make sure im on track and so i dont cheat in the week!

      Every Sunday for my weigh in and sometimes on Wednesday or Thursday to see how I am doing during the week.

      every morning~ that way I know exactly where I am and if it is way up- I know I had a huge sodium overload or mega work-out that is making me have fluid retention...

      Hardly ever...but since im starting this diet im going to try to do it once a week

      I weigh 3-4 times a day. The ups and downs don't bother me at all--I just count the first one as my "official" weight. I only mark it down here when there is a loss.

      Daily ...just for accountability!

      Every couple of days to stay on track and to get a good base line of the weight trend. Always in the morning before breakast. Log every loss, and gains if they happen to stick around for a couple of days.

      I do take my measurements every 2 months at the moment, but think i'll bump that up to once a month to graph my progress better.

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