    FYI Just saw this reference on the issues of daily weighing - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17663619 - J Consult Clin Psychol. 2007 Aug;75(4):652-6. "STOP regain: are there negative effects of daily weighing?" - The abstract says: "The intervention groups reported increases in daily self-weighing, which were associated with successful weight loss maintenance. We found no evidence that increases in frequency of weighing or daily weighing per se had any adverse effects in this study population. Rather, increases in self-weighing were associated with increases in dietary restraint (p < .001), decreases in disinhibition (p < .003), and decreases in depressive symptoms (p < .002). Moreover, those who weighed daily at 18 months were less likely to report having >or=4 binge episodes per month (p = .03). Daily weighing appears to be an important aspect of weight loss maintenance and was not associated with adverse psychological effects."

    This is kind of embarrassing but after I started to lose weight I got really interested in how my body weight fluctuates after certain events like eating, drinking, how much I lose after working out and how long it takes and so on. I don't stress over it at all, it just interests me.... Buuuut because of that I weigh myself several times throughout the day for fun.
    I log my weight only once a week though.

    I'm in the daily camp but what I wanted to add was for any iPhone users out there I use TargetWeight for Adults which is free and I hasten to add I am not affiliated to in any way so whilst I record daily, graph shows trend over time.

    I weigh myself every morning after urinating, but I only record it once a week (after a month when I first started). My weight would vacillate between 197 - 202 throughout the day, so I only recorded my first loss when the scale finally budged to 196.
