How often do you weigh yourself?

I weigh and record every morning before eating. I like more data points to follow trends. It will fluctuate, of course, but at the same time, you would be surprised how well it correlates to daily eating.0

For me I weight in and record it once a week on Friday mornings right after getting up and taking care of business before clothes go on or anything else is done... I want to enjoy the weekend so I do it Friday's so I can celebrate the loss over the weekend if there is a loss or Buckle down and try to do some extra working out over the weekend.. and occasionally on Monday mornings... I check it first thing however I don't record that weight.0

Every day... and I use trendweight which syncs with my fitbit. It's easier to take the ups and downs when you see a trend. (which is downward)0

I weigh daily (at the same time every morning) as I find it keeps me motivated. I record once a week plus any days that I have lost or gained 500g or more so I can see what food or exercise has caused the change.0

I weigh myself pretty much everyday, but I only record it in MFP once a week. As others have stated, I like to be nerdy and keep track of the trend in the Libra app (the fluctuations don't bother me, but give me some insight and allows me to make some realistic projections). This is also a great help if my weight has not changed by the day I record; I know not everything is riding on that one meeting with the scale.0

Feel free to add me. I am always looking for more friends for motivation,0

Once a month. The scale is an evil tool!0

I guess whenever I feel like it, sometimes daily. But even my weight is fluctuating, I only take into account my weight on Sunday morning, before eating/drinking, and after using the restroom.0

I weigh every time I go to the gym- so like three times per week at most. I always go in the evenings after dinner. I like to see the fluctuations. Even though I have a scale at home, if I only weigh myself at the gym, it encourages me to get to the gym because I get curious.0

I weight once every two weeks- this helps me a lot- because I tend to worry about if I have lost or not- when I give myself more time- I feel like I see the losses more than when it was once a week.0

Daily - every morning after going to the bathroom. The daily fluctuations drive me nutty, but I average it out and I feel like I get a better idea of what's going on.0

Every day because I'm so delighted that I'm losing weight0

Doesn't it feel great when you see the numbers go down? Personally I weigh myself on the same scale at work (factory shipping scales that can handle a 2000 pounds or more) during the week but haven't been weighing myself on the weekends.
I know that the downtime and lack of structure on the weekends is harder for me so I just wait until Monday and expect that at best I have stayed even.0 -
Daily. Even though weight fluctuates because of water retention, having more data points allows for much more accurate trending, which is what I care about.0
