I try to do the wii fit body test daily and that measures your weight, so every day

I weigh myself every morning. It doesn't *count* per se... I don't log it, but it keeps me going until my official weigh-in.

I was weighing daily, usually twice a day, but now, I'm trying to do it only once a week. I realized that when I wouldn't see a good change, I would just end up getting very frustrated. So, now I'm trying to focus on how I feel. I might change it over time, but right now, I'm taking a little scale diet. ;)

I weigh first thing every morning. The fluctuations don't bother me much as long as the trend is downward. An upwards tick always motivates me to stay on plan. I just read some interesting threads in the Maintainence forum regarding this. Apparently weighing every day can really keep you on track.

I weigh myself once a month. I've learned not to be controlled by a number, I prefer to be the one in control.

I used to weigh-in several times a week, but if I saw a tiny loss or no loss, I would get so disappointed that I'd give up. Now I weigh-in once a week.

I'll keep doing it this way until I decide to stop losing, and start maintaining. When I'm maintaining, I'll weigh-in every day so I can see if I'm starting to get off track and nip it in the bud.

I love to weigh myself all the time!! I like to see how my body weight changes through out a day

I'm new to 3FC, ha, sorry for posting this question again. I was just really curious on what works for people. Thanks for all your input!

I was having a lot of success with weekly weigh ins. I was very lucky that I had fairly linear weight loss. It was rare for me to lose under 1lb/week. So every Thursday morning, my weigh in day, was like Christmas. I looked forward to seeing that number all week.

However, now that I'm getting closer to goal, my weight loss is finally starting to slow down. I realize that I'm going to have to refine my diet/exercise a little bit to get down to goal weight. Also, as has been mentioned, daily weighing is a good habit for maintenance. So from now on I'm going to start weighing daily as much as I can. That way I can see the effects of different exercise/foods. I'm going to have to force myself to accept some fluctuation and just focus on the downward trend.

I normally weigh myself about 3x a week. If I notice a change I'll go til everyday until the scale starts going back down.
