I weigh myself all the time. It helps me keep tabs on how I'm doing and reinforces my goals! If you wait a month and have gained you've wasted all that time that you could have adjusted your patterns of eating and exercise! If you don't need to lose a lot then waiting longer isn't going to hurt but I don't think weighing yourself every day is a bad thing. As long as you don't freak out about it and obsess over it constantly.

I weigh every day but my weight fluctuates 10 lbs within a month. I have pair of calipers that I use to keep track of my problem areas. Lets me know what kind of weight I'm losing.

My doctor actually told me to weigh each morning so that I could see how to eat each day. It really worked for me because when I don't get on the scale for weeks at a time I'm not as accountable. I saw whatever works for you.0

Every morning. It keeps me on track.
My parents say the same as yours but.. Different strokes for different folks.0 -
I weigh myself every morning. It helps me learn more about my body. Because of this, I learned to lower my sodium intake a great deal. If I gain, I don't get upset, I analyze and make a few corrections. Now I know before I step on the scale I'll see a gain or loss.0

Most people understand that there are normal fluctuations and are OK weighing themselves more frequently - they don't panic when they see the scale move up a pound from yesterday's reading.
Other people obsess and go into a tailspin when they see that number move up - those people are better off with once a week or maybe even once a month measurements.
As long as what you're doing is helping you get where you're going - keep on keepin' on.0 -
i weigh in almost daily. lets me know how i'm doing. but i don't freak out if i see the scale go up a pound or two. generally i know what's going to show up on the scale based on how i ate the day before.
i was weighing in one a week or even once a month for a while. i was trying to tell myself that it wasn't about my weight, that it was about my performance and how i felt. but because i didn't see that number on the scale, i got a little complacent.0 -

Same! I weigh twice a week. However, I don't record my midweek weight. The midweek weigh in assesses how I'm doing.0 -
If I kill it at the gym the next morning I'll weigh in just to see, even if it isn't my normal weigh in day... (or if I wake up feeling skinny) Don't worry about being 'Normal'... being yourself is the best way to be!0

I never weigh myself anymore....it gets me too hung up on a number rather than overall fitness and athletic goals....there are so many variables involved that can make weight fluctuate wildly from day to day.....my clothes and the mirror don't lie...scales do....or at least it doesn't tell you the whole story....you can be skinny and still be fat (skinny fat) which is what happens when you solely focus on weight loss and not building/maintaining muscle mass.0
