I'll be weighing myself weekly on a Friday morning. I know that weight can fluctuate daily and I wouldn't want to be disappointed by seeing a loss, no matter how slight.0

I weigh myself daily, but due to fluctuations the only one I pay attention to and record is Saturday morning before breakfast and coffee.0
-
Whenever I feel like it - always first thing in the morning, right before I hop in the shower. But not every day - maybe every 2-3 days. My weight will fluctuate a lot, so weighing every day for me wouldn't be productive I don't think.0

Daily weighing helps me understand the fluctuations. As long as the trend is downward, I'm happy.0

Every once in a while but I'd rather take pictures0

I tend to weigh myself when I get up and then before I go to bed at night. However I will only record my weight on Sundays.0

I weigh daily because my weight fluctuates a lot. When you have a "noisy" signal, you can extract a more reliable trend by having more data points, even if each data point is unreliable on its own.0 -

I used to weigh myself once a week, but the changes were so slow they were a bit discouraging. Now, I only weigh myself every two - three weeks, and every single time, SUCCESS.0

Once a day when I get up.0

I see a nutritionist every two weeks. I get weighed then but on occasion if ive eaten too much for a couple days or so ill jump on to see what the damage is.0

Daily, same time after toilet and shower routine. Record 1-2 times per week. Do it the way you are most satisfied doing it.0

Everyday lately. I'm a scientist so I love having the data to analyze. I fluctuate a little but there is a clear downward trend.0

Never. I don't own a scale. I get fixated on the number being the representation of what I am or should be, and am always disappointed with what the number is. I have never looked at the scale and thought, "hm, I'm glad I know that."0

Daily because I like the data. I usually enter my numbers into both Weight Grapher and the Hacker's Diet, but somebody on this thread mentioned Trend Weight, so I signed up for that and like it better. Thanks for mentioning it.0

I' maintaining now but whilst I was losing, I found weekly weigh-in's sufficient.
Personally, I found the inevitable daily fluctuations hard to handle despite logically knowing that they were totally normal. If you weigh daily, expect the ups and down's and record your data on a trend app. Otherwise, stick to weekly!0 -
Daily. Getting to love the fluctations and learning not to freak out!
I have a very good scale - TANITA - also gives body fat%0 -
I weigh every day. Weighing once a week was stressing me out. Daily weighing keeps me focused on my goals for the day.0
