I used to AT LEAST twice a day, but that's dealing with some eating disorder crap-ola we do not want to get into. :P

once a week sounds lovely! That's what I've recently switched to...difficult, but doing it.

I weigh in every time I go to the gym which typically equates to 5 times a week. I even weigh in on Saturdays even though I go before lunch rather than after like all the other days I go. So I keep that in mind and never log a Saturday weight.

Used to do it once a week. Recommitted March 1st and I decided to stay off the scale for a full month. I just care too much about the number on the scale. This go around I'm trying to focus on just eating right and exercising. It's going great and I barely think about the scale. =) After the first month I'm going to weigh in on the 1st and 15th of every month. Once I get closer to goal I might change that to more often. We'll see.

Daily.

Once a week...then you are likely to see a loss everytime you get on!

I weigh daily. Usually twice a day, first thing in the morning and the last thing at night.

Gogirl008 03-10-2011 08:17 PM

Pretty much daily, but I also remind myself that there WILL be flucuations. I usually log the lowest weight I've seen in the week and that becomes my new low.

2-3 times a week, to keep myself accountable and on track. Everyday would drive me nuts

Daily, at the same time relative to waking. Once in a while I'll hop in the shower or eat breakfast before weighing myself so I just skip recording on those days. I'm thinking of switching to once per week though.

Daily, but I only update my Fitday when the weight drops.

That keeps me accountable without stressing me out.

Twice a week. Wednesday morning and one weekend morning. It's working for me. Spaced enough to give me something to look forward to/plan for but not so often that I'm obsessing.

I weigh daily and keep a log. My weight fluctuates daily, but if I compare a Wednesday to a Wednesday, I can see the progress I am making.

I used to daily, but it was driving me crazy! So now, I've talked myself into once a week. It's helping me! I've also decided I'm not gonna weigh myself during the week of my period. I think I'm too fragile right now to bear the thought of gaining BACK water weight !! Silly I know, lol

Daily and I track it on a calorie counting app, but I try to look at the weekly difference and not get caught up in any daily fluctuations.

This is my habit as well.

I like seeing the daily changes, and where I am at night relative to the morning. It helps me to understand how my calories, sodium, water intake, exercise and TOM impact how my weight fluctuates. Maybe my body won't always work the same way, but right now the patterns are pretty clear.
