How often do you weigh yourself?

I was wondering how often everyone weighs themselves? I know some people that do it everyday and some that do it once a month. I tend to lose motivation if I don't weigh myself everyday.

    I weigh myself everyday or every other day. Keeps me accountable. If I see the number going up I know I need to kick my butt in gear and exercise and eat better. If Its going down I know I need to keep doing what I'm doing. But thats just how it works with me!

    I weigh every morning and hate it when i can't. The fluctuations keep me on track and I find that I get a little lost without the daily accountability.

    I weigh myself every Friday morning and post a progress photo on my Facebook weight loss album and measure myself the last Friday of the month. :P

    The scale and I are not friends. Seems like no matter what it says (and I'm not kidding, it could even be an awesome #), I feel like it isn't enough and it just upsets me. I stay off of it as much as possible now.

    I am going to continue to modify my behavior no matter what the scale says, no matter how slow or quick I lose weight, no matter what. Short term behavior changes will not allow me to keep the weight off.

    I prefer to measure my success by means other than the scale as well. Measurements and endurance are huge indicators of how well I'm doing.

    I avoid the scales at all cost. About the only time I weigh is when I have to, like at the Dr.'s office.

    Every day now that I'm at the point where I don't freak out about normal weight fluctuations. It took me a while to get there I must admit!

    Every day, however with strength training I am training myself not to do that because it is not an accurate representation of my progress and just frustrates me.

    Weekly. Usually on Mondays. Keeps me accountable over the weekend.

    I count my weigh in on Sunday as soon as I wake up as my "official" weight, but I jump on the scale almost every day just to see how things are going...

    Daily. I used to log only 1x per week, but I find it more motivating to log daily also. But, because I know it fluctuates, I didn't want everyone to congratulate me every time I had a tiny loss, so I turned off the alerts that tell everyone when I've lost weight since my last weigh in.

    Every day as soon as I wake up. I don't count when it goes up a little, I just track it when it goes down. But it lets me know if I need to eat lighter or get some more exercise.

    I weigh every morning. I believe it keeps me going also helps me know if I should eat a smaller meal. or if I am doing great then I can have a little extra treat.
