I was wondering how often you weigh in? I have been doing it daily because I feel like seeing the loss gives me incentive to keep going, but I know a lot of people are against the every day weigh. What are your thoughts?

    Whatever you want, as long as you can tell yourself to ignore simple day-to-day or week-to-week fluctuations and look at the overall long-term trend.

    Personally I do every week.

    I went the opposite direction. I weigh in once a month, as close to the same place in my monthly cycle as I can manage. But I've been doing this long enough that I trust my routine and I just need to check in once in a while. Plus, even the weekly fluctuations were enough to annoy/depress me.

    I weighed every day when I was in weight loss mode. Now that I'm in maintenance, very rarely.

    I weigh and log daily. The fluctuations no longer bother me and I get an accurate picture of how what I do/eat affects my weight loss.

    If you don't mind seeing the scales go up and down, there's nothing wrong with weighing daily.
