How often do you weigh yourself?

Right now I'm weighing myself everyday, and I write down the weight along with the date in a notebook. Its really helping me to stay motivated and also to not become discouraged if my weight goes up a bit temporarily. In the past I would weigh myself sporadically, get depressed at my weight and over eat to make myself feel better.

    I weigh daily and use a tracking app to graph my average. It helps me to not lose it if I gain some water weight and has helped to see how fast I gained to know how much over I'm eating.

    I weigh twice a week...Thursday mornings and Mondays, but I only log Mondays. Thursday I call me weekly check in to see if I'm on track. I agree, weighing more keeps me motivated and on track. If I feel my motivation slipping, I take a peek.

    Pretty much a daily weigher for the last 5ish years :) I keep the data in a trending app (Libra).

    Same as the last two.. I am a numbers geek so I do it daily and track it... fun to watch it go up and down but see the trend remain downward

    Once a day after my morning business.
    A weighing consists of 4 or 5 trips to the scale in a 15 minute period taking the two matching lowest results.
    Note them in a note book along with morning Blood Sugar and Pressure .
    Your doctor will love you and it will save lab fees. :)

    Every day. Only count it once a week.

    What I'm looking for is my weight in a scatter graph that shows decreases overall.

    Most days. Once a week is not often enough to catch a creeping weight gain in good time.

    Daily - like to see how different things affect my day-to-day weight. I don't worry if I'm slightly up as I've got to know why by doing it.

    Daily, first thing after le bathroom. Chuck it into HappyScale. Then log on here once a week.

    As people have said, it's good to see the actual trend and not get freaked out by fluctuation.
