How often do you weigh?

I'm debating on whether I should weigh once a week or once in the morning. The once a day thing is getting very depressing because I don't see anything happening. What do you all do?

I continue to weigh at least once a day. I just got back from vacation and was looking for scales while I was there...I would have taken mine if it wasnt glass...lol but thankfully no wt gain!!!!

I started out weighing once a day. Then I would stand on it twice and sometimes three times a day. So, I went to the opposite extreme and weighed only at my dr's office once a month. Both were making me crazy.

I've finally found a balance that works for me. I do it on Wednesday evenings at the gym - always on the same scale and try to pay less attention to the actual number than the direction I'm going because I know it won't weigh the same as my dr's scale.

Girls I need to flow with as much positive information as possiable. I weigh every two wks at home followed by monthly with my Dr. I will not be bothered with the flucuations of my weight on a daily basis

I weigh every morning. I do wii fit and it weighs you every time. So every morning for me. I like even if I have not lost because it motivates me to see a loss the next day.

I try to weigh myself daily. I think it's the only way to keep you honest. If you see the number creeping up you can quickly adjust your diet/exercise. If you wait to long to weigh it can be discouraging if it jumps to high and to me this causes failure, but that's just my opinion.

I weight daily, after I get up and use the bathroom. I find weighing at the same time is more accurate.

I weigh at least twice a day. Usually before I go to sleep and when I wake up.

I weigh myself every morning before I've had anything to eat or drink.
