    I weigh daily, but only once per day and it's usually right after I use the restroom after getting out of bed. I think it helps to know if I've lost or gained so I'll know if I need to work harder or if I'm on the right track,

    Daily in the morning, as soon as I wake up. Helps me focus on the exercise I am about to do and keeping on the straight and narrow.

    In the morning ....I used to do it every day, but when I stopped the weight came back. ..so now I'm making it a priority to start my day on the scale!

    I do it everyday just to keep myself in check and then I log the new low number. Even if I only lose 2 oz it still feels like a mini victory every few days.

    Once a month to twice a month. Whenever I visit my recruiter's office. I trust his scale and no one else's, haha.

    Officially, once per week on Friday mornings.
    Unofficially, up to 3 times per week because I'm curious!

    I usually will do it once a week in the morning after the bathroom...otherwise I drive myself nuts if it goes up. Sometimes I will wait 2 weeks

    When I didn't have a home scale I was only stepping on a scale once a week at the weight loss clinic I was going through, but I kept finding their scales to be inaccurate because I was going in the middle of the afternoon, clothed, and after I'd already eaten breakfast and drank three or four 16oz servings of water.

    Bought a home scale two weeks ago and I weigh every morning, write the day's weight on a sticky note, and just record it all week until I get to the day I usually recorded it here and record it or what number cropped up the most/was the number I stayed at several days in a row. For example my weight this morning, my recording day, was the same weight I've been at the past 5 days, so that's what I recorded.

    I step on the scale every morning and every night. I wish I could do it less because I think I would lose more weight if I didn't know exactly where I was at, but I kind of have to do it as an OCD habit I guess. :blushing:

    Every morning. I like to see to daily variations and speculate as to their cause.

    Every day first thing in the morning, but not on weekends - because I eat a bit more on weekends and the weight is meaningless and is gone by Monday.

    Every so often I weigh myself a second time later in the day, if my morning weight is unexpectedly high and might be just water retention.
