    As much as when I was losing - about once every 3-6 months. Not fussed about weight. All about size of waist etc.

    I weigh daily.

    Have been on maintaince for a couple of years. I watch my daily calorie intake with MFP and my exercise calorie burn. I don't worry about the fluctuation in weight daily as long as my cloths do not get tighter. So far I haven't had that problem. Basically I maintain the same life style as when I was losing weight. Watch the fast foods and processed foods with sugar. I keep my daily calorie intake to 1400 max. That will vary from person to person, but that works for me. I am working on maintain muscle tone.

    Maintaining for almost 9 months now. I still weigh a couple times a week as that's enough to notice the trends but not enough for crazymaking! I watch my macros daily though.

    I weigh every morning when I get up because it's what I do. I know it will fluctuate, but then I don't have to think about it.

    My son is on a medicine that is an appetite stimulant so that, while his weight is fine, he needs to watch it. I have told him to weigh every day when he gets up and figure his weight is stable if he's bouncing within the same 5 pound range. It's worked so far.

    I've maintained 2 years.

    Daily.
    Which is the same whether I'm losing, maintaining or gaining weight. I like data and that's all it is - just a part of the jigsaw.
    I find it interesting to see the fluctuations and understand what causes them. Can also spot a trend earlier.

    This is me too.

    I rarely get on the scale at all. And I've been maintaining for many months now in a range. When I'm at the top of my range, I adjust a tad. When I'm at the bottom of my range, I keep chugging along. I can always tell by just clothing fit.

    Same here! I've been maintaining for the past 8 months now and I weight myself daily. I also continue to log my food and make smart food choices about 80% of the time. :)
