    I weight daily and use Happy Scale (IOs app) to track a moving average.

    I often see a 1kg "gain" after high exercise/high salt/higher carbohydrate days.

    Same here although I use Weightgrapher.

    I weigh on a Monday...If I don't like what it says I weigh again on Tuesday and so on lol :D

    ^^^this! No--I actually only weight once a month. Or even less frequently. I don't own a scale because I'd be obsessed with it, and it's the least important tool that I use to assess my success. Body measurements and how my clothes fit tell me much more about whether I'm meeting my fitness goals.

    Weighing once a week seems entirely reasonable, but weighing once a day isn't really going to tell you anything.

    Daily - helps understand why you fluctuate and why it doesn't actually matter.
    I just note any trend in a casual way.

    It's data, why be afraid of a device that gives you useful data?

    I don't like to keep a scale at home due to history with eating disorders.

    I weight myself every other week at the gym. It's really difficult to wait sometimes, but I feel so much better about myself knowing that the number I see represents my overall process better. :)
