I force myself to weigh once a day. Like everyone has said, it helps to keep me on track. I'm a lot less likely to overindulge when I know I will be getting on the scale the next morning and will be diappointed if the number goes up. My weight got out of control in the first place because I'm the queen of denial and just keep overeating and telling myself that I had probably only gained 5 pounds (when it was really 15) or that my pants were tighter because the dryer shrunk them. The scale keeps me honest, even if it is frustrating sometimes and easy to get discouraged when the numbers vary for no apparent reason...

i'm with lumifan4ever on this one. It really helps me to calm down when i see a high number on the scale. Because i've learnt how my body fluctuates, i can usually put it down to one of many reasons and it also lets me know when i've had too much salt or (The obvious one) eaten too much that day.

I weigh once a week and thats on Friday - gives me a more acurate reading of where I am with my goal

I do pretty much the same, but my weigh in day for counting purposes is Wednesday. And in the morning too, before I eat anything. Too many variable throughout the day, I'd make myself nuts if I weighed myself more than once a day.

I weigh in every Tuesday and keep a weight loss chart on my computer
