    Daily as well when I'm in weight loss mode. It's an important data point. I don't have to like it, I just have to record it.

    Weigh myself daily, but only log it when it's a new low. Lately it's been daily, even if only by .2 lbs, but if it went up or stayed the same, I'd know to tweak my diet/exercise if it continued on that trend.

    Another daily and I use Trendweight with my Fitbit scale. My scale is my friend.

    I weigh daily and use trendweight to track fluctuations. It gives me a more accurate picture I think.

    I weigh daily, first thing in the morning. It helps me understand my loss pattern - actually helps me be less concerned about fluctuations.

    As has been said before many times: Weight loss is not linear. There will be daily fluctuations. But the formula for calculating weekly weight loss that MFP uses turns out to be pretty accurate.

    Daily. It helps me understand and follow the normal fluctuations. I trend in happy scale & libra.

    Weigh and log every day. I agree with the others, if I weighed once a week and happened to weigh on a high day, I would get discouraged. Weighing every day I can see the lows and power through the highs. I feel like weighing everyday keeps me accountable everyday. If I only weighed once a week I think I might be lax in my eating when I know I have 5 more days before I weigh in next.

    I weigh daily but measure weekly. It helps me feel more accountable for my meals. If i see the scale going up I know i need to push harder. I've also started to do pictures once a month.

    I weigh daily. I love seeing the fluctuations, it's educational to me.

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

    I weigh weekly. It is just the right amount of information for me.
    I have tried daily and I found it demotivating. I understand fluctuations but I can't deal with seeing and focusing on the scale number daily. Monthly weighing is not enough information.

    Daily. This sounds silly but I'm motivated to get out of bed in the morning to see how much I weigh, even though it's been going up lately.

    Ditto for the trenders--I weigh daily and use Happy Scale. I more weigh-in dread! Happy Scale, indeed!

    I weigh in daily, this helps me figure out what I did wrong in the day in case I gained a little.
