I just read an article on Yahoo, about a recent Cornell Study that found that people that weight themselves daily were more prone to keep the weight loss.
Here is a link to the article: https://www.yahoo.com/health/how-often-you-should-weigh-yourself-if-youre-121841681642.html
I like to weight myself weekly, I did try to do it daily once, but found the daily fluctuation a bit annoying, but hey perhaps, I will give it a try once more.... how about you, how often do you weight yourself?

Every day usually.0

Every day, using weightmeter to log. Once a week, usually on saturday, I update the MFP weight. I can follow my weekly and overall trends. If you want to track daily, use an app that will let you see the trend and don't pay attention to daily fluctuations, only focus on the overall trend for the last few weeks.0

Everyday but I'm conditioned not to expect it to go down every day. I chart my weight in MFP and as long as trend is downward I'm making progress.0

That sounds very plausible.0 -

Everyday. I have an aria scale, so I step on first thing after going to the bathroom in the morning and it updates my weight for me. I also, check trendweight.com every couple days to make sure that the overall trend is going in the right direction.0

Is in the morning best? This is my 1st week of dieting and not sure whether to wait till after a couple of weeks as not sure if I'll have lost much in 1 week.0
-
Everyday, sometimes more. I am curious about it after I eat or exercise. I only pay attention to my first thing in the morning weight for logging.0

I usually weigh in the morning, after using the bathroom (and nursing, cause I am) and before I eat.0
