    I weigh every day and log it as well. By observing all fluctuations, I think I get a better idea of what kind of weekly trend I'm setting and I can mentally tie my cheats to bad results. In other words, if I know that I'm going to pay tomorrow at the scale for drinking that extra beer, I might be more motivated to abstain. Plus, I just enjoy crunching all those numbers.

    When I lose. Because my fluctuations are almost always water retention.

    Thursdays are my weigh in days...and I enter it in no matter how much I don't like it.

    I weigh in every Saturday morning and record what it says. There is no point weighing in more than once a week as the body can fluctuate up to 2lbs every day depending on water intake etc

    Only when I lose.. Lately, it's every second week or so. Not because my efforts are less or more, simply because that is how my body works.

    Yes when I was losing, I weighed myself once per week and enter it regardless of the results.

    I enter both, as i only weigh about once a month it's often loss or gain.

    Only when I lose. I fluctuate too much. Would drive myself insane every day. If my calories are excessive and they'd indicate weight gain from that, then I would. But, with a deficit and water fluctuations I see no reason.

    ^^ This.

    I only enter a gain if it sticks around for more than a week...which hasn't happened since I started back a couple of months ago after a long break.

    I log my weight only when lose and I only log full numbers, no .2, .6. 1.3 for me. I like -2 pounds, -1 pound, I just want to know my main weight. It also gives me something to keep me going, seeing the scale go down almost weekly and sometimes bi-weekly! :O)

    I enter my weight everyday because I weigh myself everyday. However, if I have 'gained'... the next 'loss' that is only back to where I already had been.. I remove the' post' because it isn't truly a loss in my book. Now, if I end up lower than I previously had been (lowest weight) then I will leave the post. But I always enter my weight so I can see the 'graph'. :)

    This is funny, because I actually went in yesterday and entered every day on MFP that I weighed in but either forgot or was too vain to enter at the time. I weigh in every day, and I keep a nerdy spreadsheet of every day's weigh-in, along with the weight loss the previous 7 days, and charts mapping my progress. It's been a great tool to help me see when I gain (weekends) and cross-referencing it to my food helps me realize what might be slowing me down.

    When I loose. It reflects the lowest point of weight fluctuations. And it's consistent.

    I weigh myself frequently throughout the day, but Thursdays are my official weigh-in day. Right now I only update it on mfp if it's a loss, but I'm still losing pretty steadily so it might only be a week that I skip between recording.

    I'm getting close to maintenance, and then I will probably switch over to recording regardless to keep me honest, but I haven't decided whether it will be weekly or fortnightly.

    Generally only when i lose. Unless my weight gain stays for 2 weeks in a row and then I will add it.

    Every day I weigh, which is every day.

    Why not?

    I've been entering too often - each time I see a drop - I need to just do it once a week. And put in my weight regardless.
