    I weigh myself daily, but on Sundays my mom and I share our weights to motivate us and encourage each other.

    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.

    Good idea

    I weigh in every day. However, I only post my weight when I lose, cause that's the kind of gal I am.

    Is it good to weigh yourself everyday or just once a week I read online it's not good to weigh yourself everyday but I could be wrong?

    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? ;)

    When I wrestled I did this all the time to make weight...you dehydrate. Another trick is to just radically cut carbs for a few days and dump a bunch of water weight. Then hopefully you end up on the mat with someone who is actually in the lower weight class when you're about 10 Lbs heavier and then you destroy their world...but then sometimes the opposite happens as well.

    I weigh usually on a Monday but I should start everyday just to see the fluctuations.

    I weigh myself everyday. I find this keeps me on track better than not. But the only weight I log is from Sunday, my weigh-in day.

    I weigh every day, then log it into Happy Scale and an Excel sheet, and Wednesday's weight gets logged to MFP

    On a Sunday for records. Wake up, go to the toilet then weigh. Any other time I feel like without recording it.

    I weigh myself most days, but I log my weight on Weigh-In Wednesday, because it's fun to say!

    I weigh AND log every day. By weighing only once a week, you lose over 85% of your data points. As long as you understand that your weight WILL fluctuate, both up and down, weighing daily and looking at the overall trend is the best option.

    I log my weight in the fitbit app (free account, I don't even have a fitbit), which I have linked to trendweight.com - this is my graph for the past 6 months (been doing this for 2 years now, but you can see better on the snipped graph) - the thin gray line are my actual daily weigh-ins...the thick red line is my weight trend. Doing this has helped me see that I usually have 2-3 weeks where I don't lose, and may even gain...and then 1-2 weeks where I lose a lot...but the overall trend is still down, regardless of what my daily weight looks like....the spike at the end is because we were on vacation from Feb 13th through the 22nd, and I didn't log my foods at all (and didn't eat very healthy...plus drank 3 bottles of wine in 10 days, whereas I normally don't drink at all), and only worked out once.
