How often do you check in?

I've been doing it weekly as well, always on a Thurs. So far I've been losing a pound a week just like site promised0

I used to weigh in once a week but I have been trying to do it daily or every other day lately. I like to look back at my progress charts and look at trends. I wasn't getting the detailed info I wanted from the weekly weigh ins but it's all up to you. Weekly is probably the best since it will give a more accurate long term loss reading. I guess it just depends on what your motivation is and how susceptible you are to what you see on the scale. Good luck!0

I used to weigh in daily, but I found myself getting far too obsessed with the numbers on the scale. Now I weigh in and measure every Monday morning before my run, and it's been working out well for me.0

Once a week on Friday mornings. I don't want to drive myself crazy with any day-to-day fluctuations.0

I weigh myself most mornings, cause I'm curious. If I forget, it's no big deal. I'm in two challenge groups that have weigh-ins -- one on Monday, one on Friday. I record in those groups what I weigh that morning. I post my weight to MFP only when it has gone down, which doesn't seem to be often enough!
I recognize and accept that there are fluctuations. It might be down yesterday, and up by two pounds today. No big deal.
When I get discouraged because it isn't coming off fast enough, I remind myself that I didn't get fat over night, so I can't expect it to come off overnight, either. I remind myself that if I loose it slowly, it will most likely stay off. I remind myself of how much energy I now have; if I eat too little, I will loose that. And, finally, I remind myself that eating the right foods, in the right serving sizes, is the beginning of a journey that will last the rest of my life. It's worth the wait!
Good luck to you all!0 -
Every Tuesday morning!
I used to weigh myself everyday, but it made me crazy.

First thing every Monday morning, before i workout.0

The Wii Fit gets mad at me if I go a few days without weighing in, but I wait it out a few days if I can. I only record my weight on MFP if I hit a low.0
-
About once a month. After my cycle or after a rest week to make sure water retention is at it's lowest. With strength training and eating at maintenance, my weight isn't supposed to change much.0
-
Every morning.0

I weigh and measure once a week (Tuesdays), in the morning, before eating breakfast, unless it is that time of the month. Then I skip that week.0
-
Once a week on Friday's...unless I'm starting/ending a specific program or challenge then I'll do it for those.0
-
Hi I weigh myself once a week usually on the same day. I also do my measurements at least once a month0
-
Once a week, on Saturday. My nerves can't take the day-to-day fluctuations LOL0
-
See, the scale and I broke up a long time ago (around December when I was weighing myself every day) and then I decided that it wasn't good for me mentally and now I have an affair with the scale only once an month.0

Everyday0
-
Every day but I do not stress over the daily fluctuations0
-
I'll often jump onto my home scales a few times a week but only for interest as my weight fluctuates a lot from day to day. I have an official weigh using a pharmacy's scale which also measures fat % on the first working day of each month which I will log here, along with roughly weekly Friday ones without fat %.
I am tempted to just weigh monthly but wonder whether that would affect motivation? Or it could make my exercise burns less accurate.0 -
I weigh daily, but I log it in Friday morning!! Gives me incentive to behave over the weekend!!0
-
Although I've only been on MFP about a month, I've been losing weight since May 2011. I decided at the outset that I'd only weigh myself once a month, on the first of the month, to stop myself getting obsessed or depressed about daily or weekly fluctuations. This really works for me.0
