    I weigh every day & track it in Libra as well. I've pretty much stopped logging it on MFP. I've finally figured my maintenance # though & have been maintaining instead of losing.

    Each morning I put on the same clothes, go downstairs, and weigh myself with the scale on the kitchen linoleum floor. Then I go to the computer and log my weight. When I want to understand something about my journey, I have the data to learn with.

    I weigh myself daily and log it when I see a decrease.

    I'm trying to only do it when I actually lose weight, not when I gain. I try to log on days like Friday when my weight loss will make a difference on the scale after a few days of watching my weight. :smile:

    I weigh myself every time I go to the gym (3-5 times a week), but only ever log when I see a considerable difference (1-2 lbs). So about every other week.

    I weigh daily since I'm prone to gaining water weight, but I pair this with TrendWeight to see the weight loss trends (compensates for swings in weight due to water).

    I log daily, both here and in happy scale. Daily or weekly fluctuations don't bother me, as long as movement is in the right general direction.

    Log on MFP every morning. I don't care too much about day to day fluctuations, but it means I have accurate data to draw trends from.

    With FitBit Aria scales integration, I log every day without lifting a finger. My scales automatically do it over wifi - All I have to do is stand on them. It helps with understanding how your body responds to certain foods. having data trends on my weight compliments my diet.

    i weigh myself sometimes every couple days, sometimes several times a day. Whenever I see a lower number, I log it and I don't log the higher ones along the way. Sometimes I log every day, Sometimes a couple times a week, depending on what the scale tells me :)

    Cheat!! Just kidding. :)

    I weigh and log every day in Libra. I log in MFP every time the trend weight seems to have stabilised. I like seeing the daily fluctuations and being able to cross reference that with what I've eaten, I think it keeps me accountable.

    So I log my weight daily on a personal tracker outside of MFP but I only log losses on MFP since it can be seen by others. I feel there is no need for all the daily fluctuations.

    I weigh myself and log nearly every day. If I've taken a day or two off of eating properly for loss, I don't weigh for a couple of days afterwards. This way I avoid the shock when I gain several pounds due to salt & alcohol bloat.

    I usually weigh daily, and only log a number if it stays put for 3 days.

    I weigh every day, but I only log the losses. As long as it's a downward trend I'm happy.

    I weigh and log every day, but go back and delete all entries except the 15th of every month, it's just a bit cleaner over time.

    I was doing weekly but I haven't logged recently because I was getting tired of logging all my fluctuations where on week I would lose a lb then next week gain 2 then lose 1.5 then gain .2 and so on. Once I actually start losing instead of maintaining I'll start logging again.

    Everyday. Of course, I have the fitbit scale so it does it automatically. It is annoying sometimes, because my wall is filled with losing .2 lbs or whatever in fluctuations, but it gives my weight loss history lts of info.

    I'm still trying to get the courage to weigh myself again... I used to weigh myself once, twice, twelve times a day and now I'm basically leery of the scale. I really have to get over this. Seeing that you're all pretty much doing it once a day is definitely an eye-opener. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to the old me, sort of!!!
