    I don't have an official day, really. When I'm close to reaching a milestone (like right now, I'm one pound away from 50 lost), I tend to weigh every day to see if I've reached it. Once that passes, I usually weight 3 times a week or so. I record it to MFP when it goes down, I don't sweat it if it fluctuates a little.

    I weigh in on Mondays since its the start of the week : )

    As do I!

    Means all the good days and the 'bad' days are accounted for and whatever I weigh, I weigh!

    I weigh myself anytime I get the urge but I am not very interested in the "number" anymore. For me it's how I feel, sort of what my body says to me not the scale. I wasn't always like that though. I weighed every ounce and sweat it if it didn't go down.

    Every Monday morning so I have no excuses for weekend eating.

    Once a month ONLY- once a week will lead me to check more often, and even though I KNOW my weight will go up and down due to water, it still bothers me to see it.

    I check on the 20th of e very month- and do measurements as well.

    I don't keep a scale in the house, because I tend to get obsessed with the numbers. Rather, whenever I have a doctor's appointment, I weigh myself then. And my strategy has been working...

    My weigh-ins are on Mondays. Helps me to eat right and get my exercise in on the weekends.

    I weigh in Wednesday and Saturday mornings, but officially record my weight on Saturday. I typically have one cheat meal during the weekend.

    I once tried weigh in on Mondays, but I was retaining too much water over my weekend cheat meal that it just frustrated me.

    I weigh daily and log it. For my knowledge and to see how my body changes. But My "Day" is Thursday. This is the day I see where I went each week.

    Monday, to keep me from being bad all weekend. I have to think about what I eat and ask myself if I REALLY want to eat that before I weigh in! :)

    I only weigh occasionally- maybe once every two weeks, at most. I've had an issue with disordered eating in the past, so for me, I have to try to focus on how I'm feeling and just eating healthily/exercising well.

    I weigh-in on Fridays. It just happened that way because that's when I decided to start losing weight.

    Same for me. First thing Friday mornings, and only because that happened to be the first day I weighed myself, too. I hadn't thought about how different days might affect or motivate me differently.

    I keep the scale tucked away under some shelves for all but 5 minutes a week! The little monster has too much power over my state of mind. :laugh:

    That's a great point. I've always weighed on Friday officially (although I weigh other days too) but do find that then I feel I have a free ride all weekend, and am right back up Monday morning. I think I may change to Sunday or Monday to keep me more on track.

    weigh in on Wed afternoon after work. I see my personal trainer at that time so I consider that my "official" weight in like at a weight watcher's meeting. We also take body measurements though so that I can keep track of those. I also weight in randomly through the week just to see where I am.

    I weigh myself daily...If I don't like what I'm seeing...then I start micromanaging my food and nutrients.

    I do my official weigh in on Sundays, just because that is the day of the week I started logging on MFP. But I step on the scale pretty much every morning. I know that doesn't work for everyone, but I don't want to be surprised once per week.

    I have been doing my official weigh-in on Sundays but I sometimes hop on the scale once or twice during the week. Not that I go out much on weekends but I guess it encourages me to stay on track Friday and Saturday, then start the new week off right.

    Every morning! I like to see the effect of the previous days eating/drinking/exercising. I record my weight only on Friday though, which ever number shows up the most through out the week.

    whenever i think of it. sometimes twice a week, but usually i'll forget for three or four. but, i mean, i'm not really measuring my progress by numbers. when i started, i was 160, and the first ten pounds didn't seem to change anything at all. so i'm like "numbers stink!" and now now i don't pay attention to them. i'm just waiting for my pants to get looser, and my tshirt to lay flat over my tummy. i guess it's because i don't know what my body's frame size it, so it's hard to tell what my goal weight should be anyway.

    I weigh myself almost daily, first thing in the morning, but I only record on Wednesday. I use Wednesday because a couple of years ago, when I started this journey on April 1, that was a Wednesday.
