I go 3 times a week for the weight loss phase. Then after that I'll go 2 times, and then at maintenance phase I'll go 1 time a week. 

I weigh twice a week and around the same time with same type of clothing. That way it will be as consistant as possible. 

Yes, i am thinking of going twice a week. Three time is alot, especially since I am such a slow loser. But we'll see, I keep changing my mind. I was with Weight Watchers so long and weighing only once a week and that did me no good at all. I have to confess I weigh every morning on my bathroom scale which is exactly two lbs less than the LAWL scale, but I like the numbers anyway.  

I am a slow loser as well even though I keep to plan fairly well. Don't feel bad about that. Main thing is that you are losing. 3 times is mandated (by contract) for me. It keeps me accountable as well :-) I don't count the less than one pound gains, that to me is just fluctuation. I look from week to week how much progress I have made and then I really go by inches lost when they measure me every month. Also go by the way your body feels, the new energy you have and the compliments you will start receiving! I had several tonight at a function where cake was served. And believe it or not I did not even have a hard time with the cake. But I distanced myself from the table and knew I was going to have icecream at home later on. :-) Keep up the good fight! 

Thanks, your comments made a lot of sense. I had better check my contract, too. I like your distinction between "wieght gain" and "fluctuation". Good words to lose weight by!  

My contract also says I need to attend 3 times a week, what happens if I dont' - do I forfeit the guarantee... couple of the long weekends, i only made it in twice per week.
