    I was doing it monthly, but I haven't the last couple of months. Gotta get back into it. It's nice to see change on the tape measure when the scale isn't cooperating!

      At first I measured every week, but after the 1st month I decided it was best for me to go to once a month.

            I do it once a month. I find that I don't always have exactly the same tension on the tape and if I measured more frequently I might see gains instead of losses. If I only measure once a month then I usually see a good loss no matter if I don't measure in exactly the same way or place.

            It's not about the results. Its about the process.

              Every other day. I did not measure this morning because the scale showed a 5lb gain...I'm still trying to figure that out.

                  Like most i measure once a month. In the beginning I was measuring once a week, but now that I've slowed down a bit I don't see the differences weekly.

                    I measure monthly. I don't tend to get enough of a difference to warrent a weekly task!

                      I measure at the end of every 6WEC challenge. It's required.

                      I used to do it only twice a year because I always thought it was nuisance but now I see that it does help sometimes when the scale isn't co-operating.

                        I measure weekly, but I'm thinking about going every 2 weeks or so because I'm not seeing a whole lot of change when I measure that often.

                            Probably not as often as I should!!!! I know it's really a valuable tool to see how one is doing.

                            I always get screwed up on where to measure and then I get majorly frustrated!

                            I measured my stomach lastnight (and stopped there). It was an exciting change.....I haven't measured for months.

                            What can I say...I a scale addict!

                            But besides that....I go by how my clothing fits and the new sizes that I can purchase.
