started heavy lifting

With my trainer 3x a week so far I've completed 2 days. One day of arms one day of legs. I'm so sore lol but it's awesome. My question is how often should i weigh myself as i still have 40 pounds to lose. i did weigh my self today and I'm up 1.2 but that's fine as i have not been over eating nor have i been eating bad so if must be from muscle or water retention in muscles.

You'll get differing answers, but I do once a week. More often than that can lead to a lot of frustration, as your weight will fluctuate greatly from day to day. You can only really start to see the downward trend when you space your weigh-ins out a little.

as often as you like

As long as you are sticking to the program and meeting your calories and macro goals there is really no reason to other than your own curiosity.

Are you going to change anything based on the day to day readings on the scale or are you going to stick with it for a while regardless of what the scale says?

Some people can weigh in everyday without issue and some people obsess over what each fluctuation means.

Throw the scale away if you cant handle it. Take pictures, take measurements. In a month do it again.

Since you have only worked out two days and are already asking about the scale I would suggest yo get rid of it. This stuff takes time.
