I used to pretty much everyday but now I've switched to weekly (Thursday morning). I guess I realized I wanted to see one big loss rather than many small losses. Still, the temptation is great to check everyday.
I started out weighing only once a week - then, I'd sneak in an extra one. I may start weighing every two weeks. I am at a plateau now & That number just spins in my head and I start obsessing about what I want it to be or what I think it should be.
I am trying to concentrate on lifestyle instead of that d**n number. It's hard to do.

I weigh every morning and the weight and body fat percentage gets written on my calender. It's a conscious reminder every morning before I begin my day of why I'm doing all this.
I 'record' my weight loss weekly though, each sunday morning. (oooh tomorrow is weigh in!)
I have only been weighing myself once a week, but I do plan to change that to daily as soon as I start seeing major results. I want to stay in tune with my body so I can see what works and what doesn't. Probably will only record it once a week though.
every morning in the buff before i eat and drank anything only count it if im losing , i know im doing the right thing no cheating so only need to record losses.. lol
I weigh every morning, first thing after using the bathroom. I ignored the scale for far too long. It has helped me learn that fluctuations are normal and the trend it what counts. It also keeps me accountable, so if I did go way off my plan the day before, I don't get to ignore the scale. Yes it may shoot up a bit due to water retention, but with for me, ignorance is NOT bliss, it is a prescription for gaining.
Ditto! Couldn't have said it any better myself. However, my official ticker weigh-in is on Monday's.
