    My fluctuations show a slight increase on work-days, and it drops again over the weekend.
    lol I get lighter throughout the week until weekends where I visit the Hostess/Little Debbie warehouse aka parents' house.

    Daily, right after my morning shower.

    If I have notable daily fluctuations, it's easy to directly track it to what I ate the day before. My usual daily range isn't more than a half pound, provided a typical intake. Anything outside of that means too much food, too little food, or food that encourages higher fluid retention.

    I weigh myself every day. My weight tends to not fluctuate day to day. It stays the same all week long and then suddenly goes down one day. It's weird. I weigh first thing in the morning though because it'll go up during the course of the day. And if I eat WAY too much salt it goes up by a pound or two, but that doesn't happen very often.

    I weigh myself every morning even though I know weight can fluctuate. Emotionally, I wouldn't recommend it because if I gain it can really discourage me to the point of wanting to give up. Have to try and keep it all in perspective.

    Every morning here!

    I reached my goal weight Dec 2014 and I attribute a huge part of my success maintaining below that by a few pounds to weighing daily. In the past, when I've lost the weight, I've gained it back b/c I didn't pay attention when the scale started to creep back up. It's so much easier to address a 3 pound gain than a 30 pound one. BTDT.

    I agree with the others who've said that they don't freak out about variations. I range anywhere from 131 - 134. Overeating, time of the month, eating salty foods, and intense workouts all impact this number.

    I weigh once a week on Friday mornings as soon as I get up. The daily fluctuations would drive me crazy. Maybe after I hit my goal I'll go to twice a week. And yes I get anxious about it. By Wednesday night Thursday morning I can't wait for Friday and sometimes I cheat by using a scale at work because if I use my home scale it will automatically update in MFP.

    I weigh myself every morning and track it with some other stats in an excel spreadsheet. I enter every loss in my Fitbit as it occurs. I enter my lowest weight of the week into MFP on Wednesdays. I enter my inches measurements into MFP at least once a month with my weight.

    MFP


    A good part of the reason why I'm here is because MFP offers a collection of tools to use to track the food I eat, the exercise I do, what I weigh, and several other things all in one location.

    Each morning, so I know how to adjust my food, water, exercise, etc.

    Weekly-Friday mornings, after the majority of my exercise for the week.

    I would find daily weigh in too time consuming and for me basically pointless. Yay I gained .1kg, I lost .3kg etc

    Same for monthly it seems too long and you could be doing something wrong for too long before you see it in the scales.

    I stopped weighing myself because I do not want to be obsessive about it. I look in the mirror for differences, see how clothes fit, and feel the structure of my body change. If I notice a great difference, I would probably weigh myself then.

    Every day - and record in MFP once a week. It helps to see the fluctuations. The day before I show a loss, the scale bounces up by a pound or 2 (?water) the next day I see a significant loss. I don't consider it a "real loss", until the scale is consistent for several days. I also use my clothes as a guide. I'm still not into my goal jeans or dress- B)

    I usually weigh myself every morning after going to the bathroom and before I eat or drink anything. I usually only record the losses in MFP.
