    Daily, even if its a gain. I like to track the fluctuations and bounce them off my workouts and sodium intake.

    I keep my own log at home and that's every day, 2x a day, up or down - and then I log only losses here on MFP which is usually about every 2 weeks.

    I usually check everyday Mon-Fri right after I wake up. Sometimes I forget. I also tend to eat worse over the weekend so I'm afraid to check my weight then. I only log it on the website if it is a decrease :)

    I log it when I lose. That's all.

    Same here, with the exception of my vacation when I deliberately gained weight to reset my metabolism. I weigh daily out of curiosity - but I also do not obsess about it because I fluctuate a lot. I take the lowest weight of the week and that's what I go with. Normally that occurs on my regular 'weigh day' (Saturday) but sometimes, especially if I have a big meal on Friday night or some drinks it will not shift until Sunday or Monday.

    Breakfast for me is 12pm since i'm doing intermittent fasting so I keep my weight-ins first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. I consume a lot of water throughout the day so it wouldn't be too accurate at any other point.

    I don't have a scale at my home and I think that it would upset me if I did get one because I would probably end up weighing myself several times a day. I weight myself about once or twice a month though when I'm at the gym or wherever.

    I am pretty obsessive at the moment and weigh myself every day,

    Once a week to temper just the sort of obsessiveness you mention.

    I wait until I lose 5 pounds before I check-in on MFP but weigh myself everyday to monitor the trend.

    I use a Withings Wifi scale. I step on it every morning, when first getting up, after I go potty (TMI). It automatically sends it to Myfitnesspal.

    I weigh daily and put it into weightgrapher.com, but only log here when I have a loss from the last weight I logged here. Mostly because my dad is constantly up and down and it annoys me to see that he "loses" twice a week but his weight stays the same. :tongue: Don't like to junk up my news feed unless its a new lowest weight.

    Some different. I weigh myself maybe once a month, or every 2 months. If I weigh myself every week. It only makes me frustrated.

    I weigh weigh myself first thing in the mornings a couple of times a week. But my "official" MFP weight comes from the scale at the gym, right before I work out on Tuesday nights, because that's the scale and time I was using when I started on MFP. I only record if there's a change in either direction. Don't see any point in logging it in if it's the same. I keep track of my morning weigh ins in a separate notebook just so I can see what's going on.
