    I'm not doing LC for weight loss. At my last MD visit I was down 12#s but that's a bonus.
    My blood glucose #s are usually great eating this way.

    I use a weighted trend-line. So, when I read this, I thought you were asking about what our trend-line looks like. LOL

    I weigh almost every day. Weight can vary by more than a kilogram (2 pounds) day to day. Drops on the scale are almost completely disconnected with what I ate the day before. And, my scale likes to go flat for a while and then drop out of nowhere. I stopped thinking too much about it. I log the weight each day and then move on, trusting my body to handle the actual details about weight control.

    FWIW, I got the glucose numbers under control first with the LC and then keto. Once those seemed to be managed, I started focusing on some weight loss. I ummm... had some to lose. You may be in a better place wrt weight.

    I weigh every morning, post visit to the toilet, and in my boxers.

    I have had a Aria Wi Fi scale for about two years now. I weigh once a day in the morning and can see the trend over the entire time. People get spooky about weighing in and how often. It is just data points and the more you have the better it reflects the overall trend.

    My doctor said to weigh weekly so I wouldn't be discouraged when daily fluctuation went upward; but when I told him that didn't bother me, and that the downward daily fluctuation was fun, he condoned daily weighing in. It'll be unique to each person.

    I lost 175# from bariatric surgery 2013-2014; then started gaining it back relentlessly. In May 2018 I found Keto and got it under control (and there is no longer the constant struggle - just minor easy-overcome challenges every couple weeks or so). Have lost 25# since then. Within goal range now, but would like to get to the bottom end of that range (145 +-5).
