I do it once a week at the same time (appx). For me, Monday mornings before work.

I say once a month! IMO, body fat percentage is much more relevant than how much you weigh.
People that weigh themselves too much get discouraged very easily when they don't see the number on the scale doing what they want it to do. So I say ignore the scale, focus on eating right and exercising, and monitor your progress by how your clothes fit.

I actually never weigh myself. I always measure myself with a tape measure because I lift weights and run so I don't want to get discouraged if my weight increases with muscle.

I have found the tape measure to be great.
