    I took measurements weekly and weighed monthly when I was losing. Works fine.

    I weigh daily, but seems like that's not an option for you. I take measurements and pictures monthly. I like seeing bigger drops, so I find measuring too often can be frustrating. Do what works for you.

    This !

    Measuring too often can be discouraging for some. So get your own groove. What works for some may not work for you. I weighed daily and measured monthly while I was losing.

    I really think measuring monthly is best simply because it's easier to see a real change. If you happen to pull the tape a little tighter or leave it slightly looser your number will differ, but when measuring less frequently you can say there's a definite change.
