    I do it every first thing in the morning after my first pee. There's nothing wrong with weighing yourself everyday but do keep in mind the fluctuations & gains due to water weight especially if you ate high-sodium foods the night before. The most important is in the long run, you see the trend going down.

    I weight myself every morning, it's a motivator. If I'm up, I work harder, eat better, if I'm down, I tell myself "Good boy!" and keep up what I'm doing.

    I used to track my weight in a spreadsheet every day. Now I just log it here. I know I'm not "supposed to," but it is what works for me.

    I guess, in the end, it's one of those "there isn't a right way" things!

    I weigh myself each morning. If I don't it is very easy for me to lose track. I know the once a week rule is what is generally accepted, but go with what feels right. Another good way to see if you are staying on track is trying on the same pair of jeans, judging by how they fit you will know how you are doing.

    I do as well. I just need the accountability. I know that the scale is only a very small part of the equation and I know that my weight will fluctuate day-to-day. I just like to check in, but I don't let the number get to me.

    I don't own a scale so I weigh myself whenever i visit my parents which works out to be about once a week. If you're happy then there is nothing to worry about. Just don't stress if it goes up and down. Your weight fluctuates a few pounds each day no matter what you do.
