First thing every morning. The weight fluctuates during the week, but I take my weekly weight on Sunday's. I always mark it on a calendar, so I can see trends developing, and can take action early.

I use an iPhone app to track mine...and the DS Lab Rat Data site (that one is monthly).

Hardly at all - because I don't like the number I see.

Used to be a scale ***** - weighed at least every day - sometimes more. 

But - I DO think the scale keeps us accountable - how did we get to the point we did to need surgery?  By ignoring what the scale said (or avoiding it).

Its not bad - if you need to do it emotionally through this journey - do it.  I do think after you hit maintenance and are comfy where you're at, you'll be less obsessed by it.

I am a twice a day weigher, have been since the beginning.  I record it every day, along with my body fat %.  I like being able to look and see how much I weighed a year ago.  I try not to get emotionally involved with the numbers unless it is a big jump up.  Those freak me out but I need to know what I weigh so I know if I am doing okay with my food, if I need to change anything and so I don't go back into denial like I did when I started regaining the last time.  Truthfully, if I am honest about what I am eating there is no real surprise.  I don't want to stick my head in the sand again.

Thanks for all the input. Seems like most of us weigh daily. I think I will keep doing what I'm doing.

Thanks!

 I weigh myself every day but I don't get upset if Ive gained a pound or two.  I know it's jus****er.  You have to eat 3600 calories ( or something like that) to gain a pound.  I am averaging 800-1000 calories a day so I just keep that in mind.

Every day here too.  I've been told I'm a "slow loser" by my team, however I don't let the numbers get to me. I see so many other changes physically (health) that the slow movement doesn't bother me most days.  I like to track my weight daily to establish a pattern of how my body loses.  Right now, I seem to fluctuate a pound or three until one morning it will drop a pound below the lowest & the cycle starts all over again.

I tried weighing once a week & it drove me bonkers!
