How often do you weigh in? I always thought once a week, but I was just curious to
see how often everyone else weighs in?

    Every day. Keeps me more motivated that way to see my day to day progress.

    I weigh once a week but there are some who are addicted to weighing. I only post once every 3-4 weeks.

    I want do at least once a week but I think since I've only been going for a month and a half so far right now, I'm going to wait til the end of every month instead and change it up because I'm the kind of person who gets easily down when I don't see progress even if it is still early in the game.

    Years ago, I used to weigh myself once a day...now I keep it to one every few weeks, sometimes even less. I'm usuaing a tape measuring more now as well and since I don't weigh myself a lot anymore I find I can still use my clothes and how they fit as a guide.

    I weigh in every 4-5 days or so and always in the morning. I didn't want to weigh in every single day just because I didn't want to become too dependent on the numbers changing in order to feel good, and I knew that I'd probably be likely to do that whether or not I knew better. (Not saying all people who weigh themselves every day are like that, I'm just speaking for myself and my own tendencies.) Morning time you're at your slimmest so I usually wait till morning to hop on that scale.

    Since your newer on the site...grab some measurements of your bust, hips, waist, and thighs. Weigh once a week so you don't get discouraged if it fluctuates on a day to day basis due to water retention, etc. That way you have a starting point...because when you get most of the weight off....you will notice some weight gain but that is muscle mass....not fat mass....that is why you need the measurements. Even though you are gaining pounds, you will be shrinking in inches. Good luck!

    I am every day right now, just 20 days into it. I am only logging my weight on Saturday, starting this Saturday. :) I hope to be able to get comfortable enough with my routine, and weigh once a week.

    Once a week. My body fluctuates a lot day to day. I exercise 6 days a week and I sweat a lot and sometimes I can sweat off 5 or more lbs in a workout. I stopped doing it daily when I got caught up in the yoyo and a few times didn't drink as much during recovery to try and "shave" off a few lbs. That didn't work out real well.

    So, I weigh on the morning after my day off, that way I know my weight is fairly normalized.
