    I weigh daily just to see what's going on. The second it drops to the next whole pound, I change my MFP weight. If it says 187.9, I'm going to list 187 on MFP to keep an eye on what MFP thinks my macros should look like. Right now, they're set by the doctor, but that'll ease up come January.

    Each Tuesday, that's the weight that I mentally log as my progress weight.
    Each month on the 19th, that's the weight I log for the doctor.

    I have been weighing and logging it each day. I have been at this a little over a month now and it is interesting to see the trends...I keep a separate google doc where I track loss on a weekly basis so I can see how I am actually progressing since weighing each day, you don't really see the "big picture" each week.

    I weigh every day and log that in a spreadsheet. Once I see a new low on the scale for a few days running, I log it on MFP.

    I weigh everyday but I also don't get emotional or distressed by weight fluctuations especially near my TOTM, I just shrug and say "oh well maybe tomorrow" and carry on. If I lose then great and I log it on mfp and Libra. Rhe first couple weeks I weighed I would get emotional but I'm pretty much removed from it now, I also take pictures every ten pounds or one month from the last photo whichever one comes first, those are extremely helpful to have :)

    I weigh several times per week, write each new low on my calendar, and log in MFP when I weigh in with trainer every 1-2 weeks. His scales are about 2-4 lbs higher than mine due to later in the day and a small difference between equipment.

    I weigh daily and put it in a weight grapher. I like graphs.
    On MFP I only put in a new number if it's a new low.
