I weigh myself every morning, as soon as I get up and empty my bladder!! And I measure myself every week! I like being accountable to myself and the daily weigh-in just keeps me motivated and the weekly measuring lets me know that my healthy eating and daily exercise is working!! I am 5'4" and weigh 118, but it can fluctuate between 116 and 122 - depending on the time of day! However, I do feel that the measurement numbers are the most important!!

I do when I'm at the gym once in a while, not too concerned.

Every day. That way I can tell which of my eating habits cause me to gain weight and which don't or even which ones cause me to lose.

I weigh myself at least once a week. My weight fluctuates between 270-275 and stand 6'3 with a 38" waist, with 280 being my heaviest (I lift heavy and am shredded, think wrestler John Cena. I do powerlifting meets so I have to eat enough to maintain my size and strength). For powerlifting, it pays to weigh over 240 lbs; especially pushing big weights.

My wife and I are both fitness freaks, so we compulsively weigh-in almost every day. And what's funny about this is that neither one of us needs to worry about our weight. (At least I know I don't; Leah might tell you different.)

This morning's after-sex weight in:

DrummerBoy: 173#. (I'm 6'-2")

Leah: (OMG: she'd put my balls in a blender if she knew I was tellin' y'all this): 133#.(she's 5'-9").

Never. I even refuse to be weighed at Doctor's offices and have them not tell me my weight.

I find is amusing how people weigh themselves incessantly. Most of any variance is water anyway.

I am 5'9 and assume I weigh about 133 pounds. I weighed 125 in High School and can still wear my HS jeans. I exercise religiously and at great intensity and don't need a scale to either validate or invalidate the effort I put into keeping fit.

So if I have a training run of 18 miles and weigh 3 more pounds the next morning, I am doing something wrong or am suddenly "fat?" Give me a break.
