    Every morning but i dont put any merit in the weight aspect, i look more at the break down of my lean muscle mass, bone density, bmi and water density. (fancy scale) those stay fairly the same even when my weight shifts. Sunday am I was 200lbs this am I was 197, but the afore mentioned all remained within a point of each other.

    Fancy or not, those scales aren't very accurate

    Daily, but the number that is important to me is my weekly average. I never freakout on a one day weighing. I remember on christmas week, I had gained 5-6 lbs overnight and my average weight for that week was still lower than the previous weeks average.

    Every day - it helps me understand fluctuations and know that if it shows 2 pounds more after a night out it is not a real weight gain.

    Daily, first thing in the morning. I log my weight in an Excel spreadsheet with a column that calculates a 7-day moving average. It's the trend of this average that I pay attention to, it smooths out daily fluctuations.

    Used to be daily but because I've been away from home for weeks it had been a month until last weekend when I got home again.

    I try every morning before breakfast so that conditions are relatively the same. Even then it can fluctuate +/- 1lbs day to day, so having more sample points is nice to keep track of the trendline.
