success by weighing daily or weekly??

I can't weigh daily, often I don't even weigh weekly. I found myself obsessed with the scale. I gave it way too much power over my life. If it wasn't moving at the rate I thought it should, I felt really down about myself. So I just set the goal to lose 20lbs by Christmas. And I'm set and determined to get it done!

I've tried everything with weighing including not weighing at all. In the end, what has worked the best for me is to weigh every day.

There are some rules with this, however, for this to work right.
Number one....your weight WILL fluctuate. You have to accept that and not let it get to you.
Number two....as long as you're sticking to your guns and eating right and exercising, don't record the highs, only the lows.
Number three....weigh early in the day. I weigh first thing in the morning, in the same clothing, after I've been to the bathroom, but before I eat or drink anything.
Number four....if you notice a steady trend of increased weight that goes on for 10 or more, you need to reevaluate what you're doing and looks for little ways you might be sabotaging your diet.

It works for me.

Another rule? If the scale torments you when you're doing a good job with your diet, stay away from it.

I weigh daily-ish (mostly every day, but not always) and record it in a spreadsheet.. in that same spreadsheet I record my body fat measurements from the scale and have it chart my general weight loss, fat loss and lean mass loss so I can see a visual record of what I'm losing. If I see my lean mass decline more over a given period than my fat, I add in a little more exercise to maintain
