    I only record a loss when I see it 2 days on the trot then I know it is not a fluke

    If I go down I do sometimes relax a bit which is a downside of weighing regularly

    I weigh myself once a week, usually on a Monday. I was weighing myself everydat but there was too much fluctuation and it was getting me down.

    MFP gives me 1200 calories per day. I try not to go over this and try not to eat my calories from excercise but this doesn't always happen

    I try to only weigh myself every few days but sometimes the temptation is too much!

    MFP only gives me about 1300 calories so I usually eat around 1100 - 1300 a day.

    I weigh in every single day. It helps me to stay on track. I don't obsess though. If it's up a little, I don't cry lol I understand permanent weight loss is a slower process.

    I weigh myself every morning (or most mornings when I'm not on the road), and track it using an Excel spreadsheet. I can use the charting function to see a line chart that shows the fluctuations, and a pie chart that shows my progress.

    Don't worry about day-to-day changes, just watch the trend. If you are trending downwards, you're doing it right. :-)

    I officially weigh-in once a week, but I get a little antsy and weigh myself a few times during the week. But there's a lot of fluctuation so the only weight I take seriously and record is my weight on Tuesday mornings. :)

    Wow, talk about organized.
