How often do you weigh yourself?

Daily, not even going to lie, but I'm not as obsessed with the numbers like I once was. As long as I'm in a ball park I'm good.2

I usually weight myself every 2 weeks but I’m trying to stop because it really triggers my ED tendencies when I haven’t lost more.5

Every morning and evening. Although it’s generally frowned upon to weigh more than once a day, it lets me see if I’m having heart and kidney inflammation due to my lupus. I typically drop between three and four pounds between night and morning. The first sign of a flare is usually failing to drop weight during the night because of water retention. Knowing that I’m starting a flare lets me jump on my meds and get ahead of it.
I don’t stress about scale fluctuations unless there’s a trend over time. Usually I know exactly why my weight is up or down - heavy workout, ate Asian food with a lot of soy, not enough sleep, dehydrated after a long run - and it doesn’t bother me.4 -
Every morning.0

Since I am maintaining and pretty much eat the same things usually like once a month or two.2

When I'm trying to lose weight, every morning, after using the bathroom.1

I weigh daily first thing in the morning. I’m eating more now that I’m maintaining and I need a reality check to make sure I stay within my range. I adjust my calories as needed. It’s all about management now but I still need to be mindful - otherwise I know what will happen.3

I weigh myself daily but I only mark down my "official" weekly weigh in every Tuesday morning. I don't stress about the daily fluctuations but they help me think about whether I'm eating too much sodium (which really kills me, bloating wise).0

I used to weigh myself daily when I lived with a roommate who did that. Now I just weigh once a week. I guess it doesn't harm to weigh consistently every day as long as it doesn't get you too anxious. I'm actually kinda curious about how my weight fluctuates in a week and how it's usually affected by factors besides food and exercise, but now I'm not motivated enough to do that...I hope I will do someday.0

Use to be everyday...one day I'd be up the next day down, etc., etc.,
I stopped because it messed with my head a bit -
So now it's about once per week 'just to see'.
I monitor my 'weight' with how I'm feeling/looking in my clothes, etc.,1 -
weekly, every saturday, after using the toilet and having a bath, but before eating.
if it goes up 2 weeks straight, i lower my calories for next week

I weigh daily at the same time, after my morning "ritual" but only record Friday morning weigh ins in MFP. It has helped me determine that sodium really makes me retain the water so I adjust my meals and make sure I have a lower sodium intake the day before my recorded weigh in.0

Once a week! In the morning, after using the bathroom1

Exactly this!

2 times per day, 10 minutes after I get up and 10 minutes before I go to bed.0

My total weight loss over nearly a 2 year period was 240 pounds.
I weigh in daily as it allows me to catch weight gain before any serious escalation.
(My IF/low carb/low sugar lifestyle began 5/13/19)1 -
Every morning, but I really don't pay attention to any one data point.
Instead, I enter my daily weight into Libra, an app that calculates my trending average. That trending average is what informs my weight management decisions.3 -
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who weighs themself every day.0

Daily. Withings scale. It logs my weight automatically to the cloud. When you look at the graph you can clearly see the overall trend and understand that some daily jumps don't matter.2

Thought I'd pop in... As I find my mind is coming to the topic of the Scale, and when I might attempt to step on it. I have no idea to be honest. I think it's best I give this another 2 and half months... Maybe by then It MIGHT (as in possibly maybe), be able to weigh me. (It would a be gut punch to find it still isn't within capacity, so I want to make sure).7
