I'm not very consistent. If I weigh every day it frustrates me. So it's weekly or if I'm doing really well every couple days. 

I was weighing myself everyday and for me it wasn’t good. It didn’t make me happy if anything made more self conscious of myself. I stopped went to one day a week and by how I was feeling and how my clothes are fitting me. For me it works...but everyone is different 

It depends entirely upon you. I do weigh myself daily, but I only track losses. I am aware the scale will go up and down based on a number of factors so I don’t let it effect me emotionally. For some people, they become quite demotivated when the scale goes up. I just look at it as I’m evaluating as much data as possible, making sure I analyze my results without OVER analyzing. It’s just a bit of data (that I combine with other data like how I feel, measurements, how my clothes fit, and how I look overall). No one piece of data can give you the full picture. 

I weigh myself every morning. It is disheartening when the scale goes up, but, when I average out the week, I can see my weight is going down. I might add that my husband at one point confiscated the scale and wouldn't let me look at it for a month. That actually was a bad thing because I wasn't able to see what foods were affecting me in a negative way (I often drank too much coffee with cream, so that kept me from losing, but I couldn't really see it because I wasn't weighing daily). When he gave me the scale back, I had to promise that I wouldn't complain bitterly every time I gained a few tenths of a pound. He actually had a point by taking the scale away. I was becoming too invested in every morning weigh in, and I was unhappy throughout the day if the scale was up even a tad.  

Every morning & try to do it at the same time. 

Don't forget the way your close fit. My scale isn't moving but my shorts and shirts are getting loose. The scale doesn't always show your hard work! I measure every 2 weeks. I measure my arms, thighs, waist and hips.  

Like @katyb said. Every morning, average out the week. I only post when weekly average shows I have lost weight, but I keep track of daily weight, weekly averages and once a month weight in my little black book. It really helps me get an overview of how I am doing. 😊 

Thank you all for the great advise i will definitely take it all into consideration!  

I weigh myself every morning, after peeing. I think it’s ok since I do not freak out when my weight goes up (I admit it’s annoying, but I don’t spend more than seconds thinking about it) 

I check every morning so I can manage my food and exercise. I don't get upset with small movements up or down I adjust daily.  

I'm with Clarissamach. I try to poop too :) No eating until after weighing! 

most of us do and use it as a tool. 

In the beginning I weighed every morning but now it’s twice a week just to keep track.  

I weigh every day - in the beginning no movement bothered me, but not to the point anyone noticed... You'll find what works for you and that's what you should stick with - it's a personal journey. Good luck with your goals!  

I weigh myself first thing in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating, but I only weigh once a week. I have an old scale and I don’t think I would be able to notice any change daily. 

The real changes can be seen better once a week than everyday weight c: 

I didn't weight myself right now, I have a control Jeans and measurements c: 

I weigh every morning just as a matter of habit.  

Every morning I weigh myself to remind myself to focus on staying healthy and make good food choices throughout the rest of the day ,, it's a mental thing. 

I weigh each morning as a way to keep myself honest. I use the scale as a tool to add to the data of what I ate. Don't use it as a moral judgement. Like I was 'bad' so now I gained or I was 'good' so now I lost. It is just a cause and effect and nothing to do with you being a good or bad person.
