    Yep. I don't think it's a big deal UNLESS you're one of those people who gets freaked out by fluctuations...if you are, then you should weigh less often to preserve your sanity :)

    I usually do once or twice a week purely because I'm way too damn sensitive about the scale. Although I KNOW that weight fluctuates, seeing a pound gain or something can put me in a crap mood the entire day.

    No- maybe once a month or so.
    I'm only losing half a pound a week, so why check everyday to see if I lost weight yet?

    Yup, I do! I only log my weight once a week, though.

    I do. I don't always log it, but I like to see the fluctuations. I often can tell when I've had too much sodium the day before because I'll be up in weight for a day or so afterwards. It works for me, and I don't feel like I'm obsessive with it.

    I do, and it drives me a little crazy, but it also helps keep me on track.

    I weigh every morning, too. I think for me it reminds me every morning to keep on going. When you have a lot to lose you need something to hold onto, something to bring it all in and that is weighing for me!

    I can't help it!! Lol.

    Can if u like.
    But be careful. Fluctuations will drive u crazy

    I would pick one day each week for weigh-in day.
    Where u can recreate the same variables each weigh in

    Like Monday morning
    First thing
    After bathroom
    In underwear or naked.
    No water

    I weigh every day, the fluctuations are interesting. But I'm trying to ignore the fluctuations and focus on getting the body fat percentage down instead. But I don't log the weight on MFP unless it goes down.

    Every day, but Sunday. I ignore the people who say it's bad for you because I don't stress over little fluctuations. :)

    Every morning after I workout and right before I shower. The only day I don't do it faithfully is on Sunday b/c I'm normally in a rush to get to church.

    I do and unfortunately, because my scale is synced with my account, it updates it every morning. Does anyone know if there is a setting you can change to only have it update once a week?

    Yes, absolutely. In fact, I end up weighing twice a day...once in the morning and once at night. If I didn't care what the scale said, I wouldn't be inputting my food with every bite. ;-)

    I do every morning. Partially out of habit but it does help to learn more about how certain foods or too little water or travel...etc will make a difference. I don't get worried about the fluctuation day to day since it can go up or down a few pounds overnight but I like to see the number each morning regardless. Helps me stay accountable and grounds me a bit. I don't weigh myself when I'm traveling or on vacation if I'm away. I only record my weight once a week.

    It's addicting. I do it every morning and night. Ugh. Help! lol

    yes - every morning - and sometimes more than once !!! I don't freak out over it - but it's fun to watch - especially now that I'm tracking everything - I can see trends especially with sodium intake and water retention...
    Also weigh myself at night too... also not freaking out but seriously blown away sometimes by the difference...
    Like today - 7.5 lbs from this morning to after dinner... I think that is my all time most - but it can easily fluctuate 5 lbs from morning to night...
    It will be strange in a couple of weeks when I'm on vacation and won't be able to weigh myself...

    I weigh myself on the Aria wifi scale daily. I don't stress about the gains and losses, but just watch the trends. (I use trendweight.com which syncs with my MFP data.) Super interesting,

    Hopefully I don't annoy my friends list too much on here since it auto syncs daily.

    Yes I do but I do not obsess about minor fluctuations, it helps me to stay accountable.
