    If I've been doing good and step on that scale and see it go up my motivation goes out the window and figure who cares if I eat bad, I didn't loose anyway. I think every two weeks will be best for me.

    This is going to sound crazy but twice a day. I like to weight myself in morning and at night. I dont want to lose too much weight to fast. I am trying to preserve as much muscle as I can.

    I do the same, but because I'm curious about how much my weight fluctuates between morning and night. I've learned that it's about 1 1/2-2lbs between night and morning ... occasionally 3.

    I only log once, though-- Saturday morning.

    I only weigh myself on Saturday mornings as soon as I get up. It's easy for me to skip weekday mornings as I am out the door by 3:30 for work every morning and I'm not foolish enough to weigh myself when I get home. After eating and drinking all day(I try to down a 36 ounce bottle of water by the time it's quitting time), there is no way I would get an accurate weight!

    I weigh myself every time I go into the bathroom, because I'm OCD like that. I only record it if there is a significant difference and I only record morning weigh-ins because you gain and lose throughout the day, so I want my weigh-ins to be accurate, same time every day will keep it that way.

    Honestly, I hardly ever get on the scale anymore. During my weight loss phase, I was literally OBSESSED when it came to weighing myself. Now that I'm where I want to be - judging by what I perceive in the mirror - I don't care what the numbers say. I can finally tell myself, "Hey, you look great naked." Besides, muscle weighs more than fat. If the pants are feeling a bit snug, I need to work a little harder. If they're feeling a bit loose, I know I can take it easy.

    Once a week, sometimes once every two weeks. Any more than that isn't healthy for me.

    I weigh myself once a week (wednesday morning), but take my measurements once a month and try to go more by that than my weight. Even though you know it's more about the inches, though, tt's hard to not obsess over the number.

    Every morning. Some say its bad and I will obsess over it but I dont. I know its gonna go up or down depending on the day.

    I weigh myself once a week mostly, unless it's my time of the month. I fight the urge to weigh myself a couple days before my weigh in, like a "preliminary weigh in." Especially when it's close to the last Friday of the month (when I measure myself and take my progress photo for my progress album on Facebook to update my friends who kinda follow me I guess) because I wanna report a good number! :P

    I weigh every day, but I have to stay around the same weight three days in a row before I record it

    Daily, but that's just because that's what works for me. It keeps me motivated, keeps me honest, and I really look forward to my daily weigh-ins. =)

    Once a week and I only record the weight loss once per month. I tried the daily weigh in and it about drove me insane. The weekly/monthly routine works well for me. :smile:

    my trainer only allows me to weigh in once a month. I fought it, but it was the best idea. Not obssessed over the scale anymore.

    I weigh myself every morning, but only post my weight on Saturday mornings - after workout and before food.

    I weigh myself every morning and every night. I do this to see how much I gain during the day and then see how much I lose when I wake up. It fluctuates from 3-4 pounds a night. I drink so much water lol!

    The fitness program I was in years ago (and where I lost 30 lbs) taught me do it once a week. Body weight can be temperamental day-to-day, and if you weigh too often you'll go crazy. You're looking for changes across a long period of time -- and so you probably want to weigh in across a week's worth of time as well.

    When I did the program we met on Thursday nights. That became my night for weighing. It meant that I'd see my progress before the weekend... and i'd want to HANG ON TO that progress. So I'd carry my discipline for eating well into the weekend... which worked out really well!

    Every Wednesday when I get out of bed. But maybe two or three times during the week to make sure I stay on track.

    Every day a couple times a day. I find the fluctuations fascinating!

    I only weigh in every other week, that way I don't obsess over the little fluctuations in my weight.

    I would say that twice a week would be a good idea! Once in the middle of the week to make sure you are eating the right things and exercising enough to maintain your current weight or progress, and then once at the end of the week to record how you did! Definintely don't obsess over it! Hope I helped :)
