    I weight myself every morning straight out of bed and naked for consistency :)

    Once a week because I don't want to obsess. Not having a scale makes this easier.

    I weigh and track every day, because I like data and numbers and like to see fun spikes and dips on the graph.

    Then again, I am a giant (well, not so giant anymore :smile: ) nerd.


    Yeah the same here, except I am a small data nerd.

    I weigh daily and we have a withings scale so it automatically sends to MFP. No hiding there, or not logging it. If I gain weight MFP says nothing. If I lose weight there is a party and it is on my home page. I know the body has fluctuations, I just don't like seeing them.

    I do have to say I was weighing myself weekly, but it was the day I saw an increase and that is not fun when only weighing once a week, so I switched to daily.

    After counting calories and exercising for 2 weeks now I have finally LOST 1.8 pounds instead of the constant gain I saw for 2 weeks. Yes, that was depressing.

    And if you haven't guessed by my post, I have a pretty serious case of OCD where my scale and the weight are concerned.

    I weigh every day, but only log the losses. Seeing the spikes from water weight drive me crazy. I like to see the overall downward trend.
