    I tell myself I'm going to weigh once weekly on a set day, but I get a bit obsessive and weigh everyday. To be honest, it doesn't work for me - I need to drop to weekly.

    Everyday. The fluctuations are normal, and expected, and don't stress me out. I have lost 33 pounds in three months, with 47 more to go. I think, even in maintenance, that every day weigh ins will work best for me. It's way too easy for me to be in denial without them!

    I weigh every day, but I only record when I hit a new low (or I have a gain of 3 or more lbs that sticks with me for a week...so i know it's not water weight). I need to stay vigilant because I think it would be very easy for me to put on 10-20lbs in a short period without realizing it. However, everyone is different. The day-to-day fluctuations don't stress me out, but for other people they do, and so weighing weekly works better for them.

    Every other week or so once I reached my goal. I've gotten pretty good at knowing when I need to cut back on my own.

    Almost every day. I use an app to keep track of my progress so the more data, the better the trend lines. That said, I only post a loss if I come in at a new weight for at least 3 days in a row. It's also good for me to be able to see how my body loses weight--I tend to lose a lb or so at a time, sometimes preceded by a small upward spike. I would probably get discouraged if I didn't know about that spike and it happened to correspond with a weekly weigh-in. Once I'm in maintenance I'll probably only check in weekly.

    Muscle is heavier than fat, the number on the scale doesn't really matter..... Focus on the things you wear regularly, are they getting loose? If yes... Congratulations! :) I usually do it once a week. And do it with an empty stomach.... Preferably before having breakfast..... :) also feel free to add me
