How often do you weigh yourself

daily and log a weekly average in MyFitnessPal.0

Daily. But I only count and input my lowest weight of the month. I'll input more than one weight if I fall in weight more than once that month. This way I'm less scared of time of the month and sodium fluctuations.0
-
Once a week. If I change my calorie intake, I'll do so once a day for a period of time, then go back to once a week.0
-
I weigh every morning. It keeps me grounded to know my bodies fluctuations and just how quickly weight can be put on.

My official weigh in day is the 18th when I'm at my dr apt. I do weigh in daily at home but don't count any weight loss until I see it my drs scale.0
-
Once a week is plenty for me. I'm not quite the numbers/stats nerd that others are I guess haha.0
-
Daily. Right after I get up and right before bed, always. Occasionally through the day if I'm curious. Patterns are interesting! I've noticed I tend to be heaviest in the evening. Makes sense to me; after sleep it's been hours since I last ate!1
-
I started weighing every day to look for patterns, but I have an official weigh day once a week and I measure myself weekly as well.0
-
When I first started my diet I weighed myself every day to follow the patterns however now I just do it 2-3 times a week.0
-
.. 2 - 3 times a day ... I might be slightly obsessed ..0
-
Even in maintenance I step on the scales most days - I used to track my fluctuations on an app but I've been maintaining for so long now I don't even bother with that.
It is routine for me to check my weight regardless. (it was not stepping on the scales at all was the main reason I got fat in the first place - despite my clothes no longer fitting I was in denial)1 -

Daily, first thing in the morning, and log it on weightgrapher so I can follow the overall trend. I also record once a week in an accountability thread in a MFP group.

Once a week or every two weeks. My weight fluctuates so much with fluid retention that it's discouraging to weigh every day!0
-
Every morning before consuming any water/food and after the bathroom, to give me a consistent dry weight. I plot all these weights on a graph along with an overall trend line & moving average. Oh and yes, I love spreadsheets!!0
-
Every day , too see if my weight is going up, it's not though, damn !0
-
The gym weighs and meassures me once a month. Pre-gym I use to weigh once every two weeks. Because the scale is a liar, and I don't trust it. It's a conspiracy I tell you!! **runs and hides in dark corner**0

Yes!
I was becoming absolutely obsessed with my weight and was making poor nutritional choices because of the impact on the stupid bloody number.
So I changed it round. My goal is not around weight, it's around training for a 100 mile bike ride later this year, and getting in shape for a triathlon next year. I've put my scales in the bottom of my wardrobe, and have resolved to only weigh and measure myself once a month, including blood pressure.
Weight is now a lagging indicator. I'm finding I can train harder because I'm eating better. I easily stick within my calorie limits, and am not obsessed with watching a number go up and down depending on what I've eaten the night before.0 -
Once a month, in the morning, before I shower.0

Daily and logged in Happy Scale and in my nerdy Excel spreadsheet. But only Fridays are logged in MFP. I take my measurements on the first day of the month and log those in MFP.0
