    I weigh myself intermittently through the week but log on Thursdays and Mondays. Thursday so I know what kind of weekend I can have and Monday so I know how rigorous the week has to be to make up for it. >:)

    I weigh daily & log with "happy scale" to see & understand daily fluctuations. I log losses with MFP to keep calorie needs accurate. I've tried a specific day weigh-ins & it makes it so much worse for me.

    I weigh myself pretty much daily but my official day is Wednesday. Your body weight is like a wave...it is always fluctuating. There have been studies that illustrate that Wednesday or Thursday is typically when people are lightest. I'm usually lightest on Thursday with Wednesday's weight generally being somewhere right smack in the middle of my heavy day and my light day.

    I was a daily weigher for a long time. Multiple times a day in fact. This was more to see the fluctuations throughout the week and I thought I needed at least daily in order to be accountable.

    I now weigh in once a week, on Saturday. This has helped me a lot in that it has allowed me to have the confidence that I don't need the scale as much as I previously thought I did in order to reach my goals.

    I weigh in Sunday mornings. It just happened to be the day I started weighing in.
    I record the weight and don't step on the scale until the next week.

    I weigh myself everyday. The app I use averages my week and I go with that. My issue with once a week weigh-ins is that I can manipulate the scale and almost cheat it. I rather see my daily fluctuation.

    How can you manipulate the scale, and why would you want to? Isn't that only cheating yourself? ;)

    Psychologically, different things are going to work for different people. For me, I don't weigh in every day, because I know the daily changes I might be seeing fall well within the margin of error for the device. Once a week seems like plenty to prove to myself that the process is working. Even with that, I'm not going to panic if one Saturday morning I show myself a few ounces heavier. It would take a couple of those in a row before I reevaluate my plan.

    I weight almost every day for fun on our bath scale, but only weigh every Saturday on my Wii balance board which I then use to update the weight here. I picked Saturday so if I want to eat a little extra on the weekend, I have 5 days, (Monday-Friday), to recoup. It's worked so far.

    I weigh everyday, but I log Saturday morning's weight.

    Everyday

    Knowing and being in tune with metabolic rate and predicting increases.
    Another example why daily may be opportune. Consumed 4700 yesterday and woke up 1# heavier. Anticipated 2-3.
    This tells me getting depleted and more structured refeeds and nearing peak before lean bulk.
    Daily can often catch more but nothing wrong with weekly as well, just use it to a benefit :)

    When i started my diet i weighed everyday. Eventually i stopped feeling motivated. I eat healthy every day now since February 23rd. I got MFP last Thursday. I weighed February 23rd and i was at 156.0lbs. Two weeks later, Sunday morning i weighed and had lost 8lbs. That's what motivates me. I've never seen 140 something.

    Whenever I feel like bringin' out the scale and jumpin' on. Typically 2-3 times a week, but there's no rhyme or reason. Just do checks. Main log day is Monday, but you better believe if I have a good day Thursday, I'll log it too!

    I weigh at night be for my bath. I know I generally have a 2 lb drop over night. I then weigh again in the morning. I I have been doing it this way since I was a teen. I post the weight I have had for a couple or 3 days. It takes 2 days for the body to show what you did to your self by eating that cake or doing well.
