    Three years of daily weigh-ins, anyone? I'm a tracking nerd. :)

    Congratulations!

    I log everyday but look for the trends. I dont freak out over the daily movements but I look for the longer term trends.

    I try not to weigh too much. Once a week or less. If I have a bad weigh in day it kinda ruins my mood. I would rather weigh less and be pleasantly surprised. Than not see the number moving.

    I weigh myself pretty much every day out of curiosity, then log the actual weight once a week. :)

    Ditto. :-)

    I also weigh daily every morning after I have gone to the bathroom (number 1 and 2, especially 2 makes a difference lol) and before I eat anything. I use the Libra app to monitor my fluctuations and only log in MFP when I've reached a new lowest weight. Don't be discouraged if you see weight gain 1 or 2 days, it's normal. However I had one week where I didn't see any change for the whole week and it was definitely caused by eating bad. Just made me realize how important it is to stay on track. Now I'm steadily losing :)

    Lol! I've weighted myself before and after going and I swear there was almost pound difference. Maybe that TMI... but it's true haha

    I log once I see the same weight on the scale consecutively 2 days in a row, both on here and then on fitbit app...but it's like if I don't see the same weight on the scale at least twice the first low number was just a dream and never happened :D

    I get on the scale usually once a day, minimum. But the only time that gets logged Sunday AM after using the washroom.

    I used to weigh myself every day, only log on Monday. But with a Fitbit Aria if I get on the scale it is automatically logged so that strategy is out the window. New strategy is to weigh and log a few times a week.

    I have found that I can get strangely obsessive if I weigh daily. I find that if I see zero change, I feel discouraged and I don't want that. My solution? "Weigh Day Sundays," as I like to call them. *IF* I am feeling particularly confident, I will weigh on Wednesdays as a spot check, but I try to refrain more than that.

    I weigh everyday but only record on MFP when there's a loss. I dunno why, I guess it just makes me feel better lol.

    Me too. I only log a 1 pound loss or more.

    Every morning in Libra.
    Is this an app?

    Think Happy Scale for Android.

    I found a Withings scale on a clearance table, so I weigh daily and it gets update here, Trendweight, Garmin without me typing in anything.

    Sunday mornings I take measurements. I then punch them into BF calculators to get an idea on my BF% and what's going on. I know they are not accurate, but I'm hoping they trend well. Just over 6 weeks doing this.

    Everything goes into Excel.

    Every morning. And very aware that my weight can fluctuate up and down dramatically depending on what I ate the prior day. A bad happy hour can bloat me up 3+ pounds the next morning. But a good day of water and running can take it right back off.

    Every time it drops... so about every week. Two weeks in and losing 2.5lb per week.
