How often do you weigh yourself?

Right now I'm weighing myself everyday, and I write down the weight along with the date in a notebook. Its really helping me to stay motivated and also to not become discouraged if my weight goes up a bit temporarily. In the past I would weigh myself sporadically, get depressed at my weight and over eat to make myself feel better.

I weigh daily and use a tracking app to graph my average. It helps me to not lose it if I gain some water weight and has helped to see how fast I gained to know how much over I'm eating.1

couple times per week.0

I weigh twice a week...Thursday mornings and Mondays, but I only log Mondays. Thursday I call me weekly check in to see if I'm on track. I agree, weighing more keeps me motivated and on track. If I feel my motivation slipping, I take a peek.2

Pretty much every day. I use happy scales app for my trending.1

never weigh.... got too obsessed with the number on the scale and at one time was literally weighing myself 3 or 4 times a day-- pushing the scale around on the floor to see if it would read an ounce or two less. Once I quit weighing, the weight starting coming off. How do I know? I started out at a size 26... I am now a size 4-6. when my clothes start feeling snug, I know I need to address the issue. I don't need the numbers on a scale to predict how the rest of my day will be. Not weighing isn't for everyone, but for me it is the one thing that helped me break through8

Pretty much a daily weigher for the last 5ish years I keep the data in a trending app (Libra).0

Same as the last two.. I am a numbers geek so I do it daily and track it... fun to watch it go up and down but see the trend remain downward1

Once a day after my morning business.
A weighing consists of 4 or 5 trips to the scale in a 15 minute period taking the two matching lowest results.
Note them in a note book along with morning Blood Sugar and Pressure .

I weigh myself every morning and then average it at the end of the week.1

Every day. Only count it once a week.
What I'm looking for is my weight in a scatter graph that shows decreases overall.1 -
Most days. Once a week is not often enough to catch a creeping weight gain in good time.0

Daily - like to see how different things affect my day-to-day weight. I don't worry if I'm slightly up as I've got to know why by doing it.0

Daily, first thing after le bathroom. Chuck it into HappyScale. Then log on here once a week.
As people have said, it's good to see the actual trend and not get freaked out by fluctuation.2
