I don't weigh daily and most pros I talk say not to either but it's a matter of preference. I used to but got a bit fixated. Now I weigh at same time every week and although it may go up and down, but I keep an eye on the overall trend and fit of clothes etc. weighing is a poor indicator of weight loss as it fluctuates…

Thanks all. Just curious, nothing more. I'm actually reasonably healthy but wanting to tone up a little and maintain a healthy weight and I'll be honest look and feel a little better.

Thanks, I try to stay well within the allowance. I tend to verify calories burned according to MFP with those from machine displays at the gym.
