    About every month or so. It would be too depressing to weigh in every day and barely see any change or to see 1/2 pound after a week. At least after a month there is a difference of a couple of pounds.

    I step on the scale every single stupid day....I seriously need to get over this.....but I only record on MFP on Mondays.

    This is me, too. Can't stop. It's some kind of sick addiction. Gave up sugar, gave up junk, can't give up the scales...:noway:

    I was the same way, but had to let go, so I'm down to 2 - 3 times a week. I officially weigh-in once a week or every 2 weeks. I try not to make it that big of a deal as long as I am at or around calorie goal.

    I can relate to all of these, lol, but I did tone it down to about 3 times, I only record my weight on Saturday mornings! I am currently in a weight loss competition and that is our scheduled weigh in day, so that is the only one I count!

    Every morning when I wake up. I have my scale in the kitchen and thats usually the first place I go to in the morning other than my bathroom but its kinds small in there and I stub my toe on the scale when its in the bathroom. Although I have 3 bathrooms the kitchen seems to be the best place for it. haha

    Edit: I do strength training so I have a program for roughly how many calories I burn doing this. Every day my weight changes and I have to put in my current weight to get a more accurate reading for how many caloires I burned.

    Every four or five days. I feel like a week is too long and two days is so short.

    Once a week. However, I use to weigh myself on a daily basis, but that's when I was too obsessed with reaching my goal of losing weight. Now I'm much relaxed and allow myself to focus on making better decisions about what I eat so that when I do step on the scale, it's meaningful.

    Stay active!

    I weigh myself once a week, I stress out too much when I see the number fluxuate-even just a few oz. I feel much better when I weigh once a week so I can see the result not the fluxuation.

    LOL I weigh everyday too! I believe it's only accurate to record on the same day once a week so that's how I do it.

    Everyday, so that I can see patterns, but I only record a loss if I see that number for a few days in a row.

    Every Friday morning, so that I do not see the results of a bad weekend!

    I weigh myself every morning and obviously keep a mental note of where I'm at, but I only record it on MFP if it's a loss or if it's very clearly trending upwards steadily.

    I weigh in every Saturday morning. The best time I heard is sometime in the morning without any clothes on, before you eat breakfast and after you go to the bathroom. It gives me motivation for the next week whether I lost weight, stayed the same, or gained. I hope this helps

    Once a month. Too easy to get discouraged by weighing daily.
