How do you track your weight?

I started track my weight through a different app every day, have the app average it out every week, and then log the average weight on MFP each Sunday.
What do you do?

I use Happy Scale, a trend weight program. It looks at the overall picture over weeks/months and helps me stay on track and not get freaked out over fluctuations.0

I use a trending app, too (Libra). I enter new low weights only into MFP. Or, if I'm gaining too much from that low (the trend shows I'm gaining), I suck it up and enter the higher weight.0

I don't mean that "you" personally do this, I mean people in general.
I weigh daily & enter in happy scale & log new lows in MFP.

I just weigh myself every day, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and log into MFP. Less likely to fluctuate at that time. Sometimes I might be .4 lb more than the prior morning but I understand how it fluctuates so I don't get discouraged over slight weight gain. One day I weighed in 6 lb less than prior day and it has stuck, haven't gained any of it back.0

Wow that's impressive! I wonder what made something so dramatic happen.
I'm just a bit worried about annoying my followers with daily updates on the scale, haha.0 -

Same here.
Though now at maintenance and hoping to stay there!0 -
I weigh daily, enter it into MFP, and ignore the fact that on some days it show a gain and sometimes i plateau. The overall trend shows a decrease, and it helps when i know im exercising and staying at my calorie goals.

I don't mind seeing it. In fact, I enjoy seeing the success on my newsfeed! However, if you don't want it to post on your newsfeed every time you lose weight, you can change that in your settings. It automatically won't post it if you gained though.0 -
I weigh myself every morning and log it with Libra. Once a month, I put my weight into MFP if I've seen a new low that lasts for 3-5 days.0

@geminigarcia199017 Happy Scale only tracks weight. MFP tracks calories--different things for different purposes. You can sync your Happy Scale with MFP to update your weight automatically. Or you can enter it in yourself.0

I weigh in each day on the Aria scales, they are synched together to keep track of it all!0

I track my weight daily in Happy Scale (love that lovely data!), and log new lows in MFP weekly or when it's low enough to make much of a difference.0
-
I step on a scale most mornings and add that number to MFP. EASY PEASY it's only a number and just one part of success0

I log whatever the scale says on Monday morning, doesn't matter if it is up, down or the same.0
