I weigh almost every morning, after my wee, totally nekkid! LOL! Don't follow my lead and weigh too much though. I'm scales obsessed and it isn't exactly healthy mentally 
Once a week is fine.
Morning is best as you're always lighter in the mornings but TBH as long as you weigh yourself at the same time every day you'll get consistent readings as to how much you've lost.

I actually do the same lol! Every wednesday I put the scales behind the sink so as not to weigh in till following wed but doesn't work! I really have to be strict wit myself cause it really gets ya down certain days! Since last wed I have gained and lost 2lbs! It's so irratating so I really hav to stick to the 1 weigh in!

Bad isn't it! I have to say that I'm so used to it now that I kinda don't mind the daily fluctuations. I generally know before I get on cos I can tell if I feel a bit heavier or lighter! So I don't let the number get me down if it's up a little bit. If anything I make sure it encourages me to have a good day and not over-eat if possible. But whatever the lowest weight says whatever day I weigh, I take it LOL!

Morning is the best time to weigh because you'll be the emptiest you can be of food and water (after you pee of course).
Saturday morning is my weigh in because I have my spike day on saturday/sunday. So weigh in has to be before it.
I never weigh outside of weigh in. I used to be a scale hopper and giving up the scales was the hardest bloody thing I ever did, but its the BEST thing. I had forgotten the excitement of a "blind" weigh in and the joy of losing something.
I was never happy when I lost a pound when I weighed every day because I was seeing it come off so slowly, coming off then going back on throughout the course of the week!

I think as long as you're consistent it's fine either way, would hate weighing myself in the evening though eek.. and in shoes, I take my phone out of my pocket for fear that would affect my weigh in ( my OH has a larger phone and his DID affect his weigh in lol.)
Daily weighing can work for some people. I weigh at least four times a week. It's when I don't that I misbehave!!!! Personally the excitement of waiting a week isn't worth the risk of a disappointing result. If I do it daily I know EXACTLY what my bodies doing. If I have a meal out I can see exactly what my gain is and watch it melt away within a few days. I know TOTM is coming by what happens on my scales. It's not as an unhealthy thing to do as people think. It's only when you keep getting on them hoping for unrealistic results that it's a problem lol. Four pounds won't drop off in the space of two hours!!! No matter how hard you diet.

Friday mornings for me! In between peeing and eating. If I have lost weight then it keeps my motivation up for the weekend.
