It's personal preference. I weigh daily, but record weekly.0

whatever you feel like but just make sure its at the same time when you do it.
for me its every saturday morning at 8am at the gym sans shoes
i have found as i gauge where i am at during the week that i can swing almost 4-5lbs because i am weighing myself at 6pm in the evening0 -
Weekly is a good choice. If you are watching the scale every day, the normal weight fluctuations will drive you crazy (personal experience there).

I record my weight at the same time every Monday morning in my bedroom ie same place and same scale. Its up to you x0

i wei myself twice per month or every 3 months0

Well done on your weight loss - amazing!0

Weigh Daily except weekends, but only record every Friday. Same time, same clothes, same scale each day.0

I weigh every morning, but only record it once per week or if there is some really significant change after my weigh day.0

I weigh myself every morning, it seems to focus me for the day and record it weekly. That way I also know if the trend is downward even if I haven't lost on my weigh in day as so many things can cause fluctuation in your weight day to day. A large meal the evening before can add 2lbs, constipation, fluid retention, or too much alchol the evening before will dehydrate giving a false loss, to name the main culprits0

Weekly is best. Daily is too often.0

I weigh once a month on same cycle day0

I think it is up to you, but today I was suppose to weigh myself, but my daughter brought up a valid point. She stated that she did not want the numbers on the scale to ruin her day. So I my self did not weigh in today, even though I am pumped for my weight loss journey I am not ready to look at my progress yet.

I'd stick to weekly, try not to obsess with the scale.
The scale isn't a report card, it's a tool to help you watch your weight trends over time. If over the course of 5-6 weeks you notice your weight is slowly increasing consistently, then it's time to re-evaluate your calorie intake.
Weight can fluctuate from so many factors that it is inefficient to try to measure it every single day.0 -
Weekly. Any more and it gets obsessive.0
-
Weekly is probably best for most people. I do it daily out of habit but really only count my weigh in on Sunday as 'official'.0

An age old question LOL I weigh in daily but I do so knowing my weight bounces up and down. In one day I can see a shift of 3-4 pounds. It is really personal preference at this point. Some say it is bad to weigh in daily but it really isn't as long as you go in to it knowing the weight will vary from one day to the next. If that really bothers you then go weekly or even bi-weekly. You have to do what works for you!0

I weigh every Sunday on the same scale BEFORE I eat anything and AFTER using the bathroom.0
