How often should I weigh myself?

I weigh myself every day.

This way I can see how my weight fluctuates but I can also see the overall trend. I have several points on my graph that would paint a wrong picture taken out of context.

I weigh once a week on Fridays! In the morning, um ... Naked..
I try not to weigh myself too much bc I tend to have a problem with water weight depending on what I eat..

Every morning

Every single day, and average it over the week. That way I can see trends and how certain foods affect my weight with water retention. For example I know if I have a ready meal then the next day the scale will be up because of the sodium content. Also, when I used to weigh in weekly sometimes I would tell myself I could have a few days of reckless eating as I had the rest of the week to fix it. Then if the recklessness carried on for the rest of the week I would skip the next weigh in as I wouldn't want to face the gain. This could go on for weeks...

Once a week and after you get to a certain size, stop weighing yourself and just go by the indication of how you look,feel and your endurance in work outs. When I looked my best, I weighed 5 pounds more then I weigh now. Muscleeeeeeee

I weigh myself first thing in the morning after I wake up. I do it everyday or almost every day to keep check to make sure i'm seeing progress or staying the same. if I gain then I look at the day before. did I log properly, was it too much salt etc.
I only post my weigh ins once a week on Friday. it was sunday but I like it being Friday so I have the weekend to relax a bit lol

I weigh myself once a week. If I were to weigh myself daily that would change what I ate and how hard I worked out, I like my meal prep and planned workouts.

Bottomline, you weigh yourself when you want to.

I weigh myself every morning. Only because I am juicing.
