Me personally I think monthly would be better bc the scale could be my worst enemy.. if I don't see results consistently each week I really beat myself up, and I'll probably give up, but I feel as though I should transition to weekly just to stay on top of my numbers...any advice MFP?

Neither, I weigh daily, but I record my weight whenever I hit a new low. That way I'm not stressed out a particular day.17

I weigh daily but probably will switch to 3 times a week. My weight just swings too wildly during the week to trust daily weighings.2

I weigh daily but log it weekly.2

I weigh almost everyday. I work in healthcare so I use one of those scales every morning I work before eating or drinking. I don't expect to lose everyday but I like seeing the fluctuations.4

Daily weighing + phone app for plotting trends/averages = accurate tracking of body weight changes.5

Another daily weigher3

Every 2 weeks to make sure you on the right track3

Daily.
If I only weigh once a month and see I've lost 2 pounds in that month I'd be disappointed. But that would likely not let me see that two days before I was down 5 pounds for the month. Weighing daily lets me see the fluctuations, and then I can see the overall trend past it.8 -
I weigh every day or close to it but only log weekly, if that.2
-
I weigh daily and track for trend data, but only officially log once a week (Saturday or Sunday morning).3

For web-based tracking there is Trendweight, which you need either a Fitbit or Withings account to connect to3 -
A good app is this one or Happy Scale, which always logs your lowest weight.0

I weigh daily (usually) but log weekly, whether or not it is high/low.3

Once a week here0

Weekly weigh-ins for sure because I want to know how well I'm doing or if I need to cut back on food portions at a time when I can make changes that will produce positive effects that willl take effect in my body right away. That feedback is really helpful on a weekly basis.1
