Every day and log on a weight tracker to watch the trend.0

Every day.0

Weekly but thinking about going back to monthly.0

I weigh every day and I log it here on MFP.
By weighing every day, I see trends and patterns. So if I gain a little bit one day ... chances are I expected to do exactly that because it fits within my trends and patterns, and so I don't worry about it.0 -
I've been weighing once a week on Monday morning, but I'm thinking I'd like to do it once a day for a couple of weeks just to see the daily fluctuations. I have an appointment with my doctor for the end of August (the doctor who told me to lose weight because of my a1c result) so I've also been toying with the idea of not weighing in at all in August, so I can be surprised when I go to that appointment. Not sure I'll be able to do that though. lol

Every day and track in an app. It's crazy to see fluctuations of up to 4 lbs. from one day to the next. It's made me less freaked out when I see them now.0

I weigh every few days, but I only log it once every week, two weeks, er..when I feel it's accurate now. I'm not as obsessed with it as I used to be. It gets extremely frustrating. One day I'm at my lowest weight and the next day I have a beautiful little 7 lb food baby. Haha. Stepping away from it even more and relying on measurements because I'm working with a trainer and know I'll be gaining muscle and losing inches. Do both because the scale will drive you mad0

I weigh daily for curiousity's sake, and to see the previous night's damage.
I record my weight once a week (every Monday).0 -
every day
I love the fluctuations and working out why0 -
I weigh daily but only log weekly on Sunday morning (occasionally I'll add in another day). I like seeing the fluctuations. As my weight has consistently gone down, so have my fluctuations. My "higher" weight has trended down with my lower weight. It's cool to watch
This is mostly me as well (except I log my weekly weight on Thursdays). I have an app on my phone where I do log the daily weight so it's not interfering with my weekly weigh-ins on here. In the past, I've found that I am much more confident and consistent in my loss when I weigh daily - the fluctuations don't bother me.

I weigh daily. It helps me see patterns and helps me avoid "number creep".0

I weigh everyday and log it on a weight tracking app so that when there are fluctuations I can still see if there is a downward trend, makes me worry less about the ups and downs. I log my weight every weekend on MFP as well.
I do the same. I take the average of the 7 days and log it on MFP every Sunday.

Just once a week - Sunday mornings. I don't want to be bothered by the daily fluctuations which are normal, but will make you crazy.0
-
Every day, and I track my fluctuations. I log my weight on here usually once a week.0
-
I never weigh myself. But I get weighed once every two years as part of a general health check (a legal requirement for working people in this country).0
-
I like to see my fluctuations due to my various types of workout but I only weigh myself once a week.0
-
Every Sunday on the scale at the gym. It calculates everything from weight to Body Mass and Fat Percentage. I then log it on MFP on the same day.0
-
Every morning but I don't agonize over the .1 or .2 fluctuations. If I have gone more than 300 calories over my goal I wait 2 or 3 days back on track to weigh myself.0
