    Daily, but I record an official weight once per week. BUT is information doesn't freak me out or make me anxious if it fluctuates...that's the key.

    Daily, in the morning. I log my daily in a trend app. I only log new lows on MFP. Or if I have a really significant bump back up, but that hasn't happened since I started LCHF at the end of March (better diet adherence).

    I typically peek at the scale each morning, although less so the past couple weeks, and always do a proper weigh-in Sunday mornings.

    I try to do just weekly, but I usually end up doing it daily because I'm impatient. lol

    Every day? Every week?
    I feel like I'll get anxious waiting a whole week. I'm an impatient person

    Every Sunday for me

    Once a week on Friday mornings. I would obsess about daily weigh ins.

    Truthfully, once a month. Never weekly or daily because you'll let yourself in for disappointment. This is a journey and it takes dedication to see results. I know what you mean by being impatient, this has been a process that has put my patience to the test!

    I have an "official" weigh in once a week (always naked, after bathroom, and before eating). But if I feel like checking my progress I will step on the scale any time naked or clothed for casual check ins. This stops me from obsessively weighing myself daily or going crazy all week wondering. I checked myself yesterday after eating dinner wearing my pjs and I was only about 1 pound heavier than I was during my last official weigh in. So even though I don't know my real number currently, it felt good to know I'm obviously on the right track.
    I remember when I first started trying to lose weight a few years back I would only do it every 2 weeks because I didn't own a scale and had to go to my college's health area. It was hard waiting so long but honestly the big number difference would keep me motivated all 2 weeks (plus taking classes where my grade depended on it!)

    Well, I weigh myself daily.

    But I weight myself about 3 days a week when I do my physical therapy strength exercises on my ankles and hips.

    British I suspect? They use weight instead of weigh (I think).

    I only log my weight when it goes down...makes it easier to see the general trend without getting bogged down with water fluctuations.

    Perhaps. It simply made me giggle every time I saw the thread title. Autocorrect on my phone likes to change "weigh" to"weight" on me whenever I don't pay attention.

    No!!
    "I weight myself" is wrong anywhere!
