    I weigh myself every day but only log once a week. I find it interesting to see what certain foods or exercises do to my weight, eg I had a chinese takeaway on Monday night and was up 2.5 lbs on Tuesday morning but was down again this morning.

    However if you are in any way obsessive about the scale and what it says then I would recommend weighing weekly.

    Once a week works for me same time every week keeps a focus on your weight but not obsessive!

    I agree. I weigh myself every morning, but I only log once a week.
    That way I know what foods and excercise May or may not be working!

    However often you feel like. Some go every day to see the fluctuations, some go weekly, and some don't at all.

    I tend to way myself every couple of days. I'm not very consistent with the days I weigh, but whenever I do, I always weigh myself in the mornings. And since I don't weigh myself quite often, I log the number whenever I do.

    I've been weighing myself obsessively (basically every time I use the bathroom to pee - which is often because I drink so much damn water). I know this is not good, but it's sorta fun to see my self lose 3 pounds of sweat after running, and then gain it back in literally 10 minutes after I chug a ton of water. I wouldnt recommend this to others, though, ha!
