How often do you weigh yourself and why?

I'm 6mos out and I weigh myself every single morning.  I am a slow loser with several plateaus under my belt so I need to know when I'm at a plateau so I can adjust.

The first 3 weeks out I weighed myself every day. The first 2 weeks I lost 18 pounds, but then weeks 3 and 4 I stopped dropping any weight, tho I could tell I was losing inches. I was frustrated and questioned myself. I am now 5 weeks out and since I didn't weigh myself for about a week I got on the scale and had gone down 6 more pounds. I have learned my lesson now. I was soooo focused on the scale I slacked with other stuff. Now I promised myself to only get on when I am at the doctor's office.

I just weigh myself whenever I feel like it.  Probably once or twice a week, but not on any sort of schedule.  why?  Well, I want to keep track of where I am and catch any regain before it gets too great, but I don't want to be obsessed with the number on the scale, either.

Losing stage - sometimes 4-5 times a day (first 6 months or so)

Sliding into maintenance - twice a day

First year of maintenance - daily

First 2 trimesters of pregnant - a few times a week

End of pregnancy (like the last 4-6 weeks) - at doctor's visits because I was going nearly every week

Why??? Because I could and that's what I wanted to do. It kept me sane, accountable, and it's my personality.

Every morning~naked~after I use the bathroom.  HELLO OCD!  I also track every morsel I eat.  I feel  more honest and accountable this way after 39 years of sticking my head in the sand.

When I know I lost weight I weigh myself, otherwise I avoid the scale like the plague.

I weigh myself every day or at most every couple of days. I am bipolar which when I am in a down phase I eat more carbs and less proteins which quickly can change the scale 10 lbs if I do no****ch it. A 5 lb fluctuation is not overwhelming to me however that is when I go back to 2 shakes per day and one meal.

Daily, just because I like to track stuff.. and it's interesting to me to see how certain things, activities, hormonal fluctuations etc. effect the numbers.. I also like to look for patterns along the way. If it bothered me one bit to see the scale bump up a couple lbs overnight (it frequently does as often as it goes down!), I'd stop doing it.. but since I could care less, and it doesn't change my behavior or staying on plan.. I do it out of habit and curiosity mostly. I want to continue weighing daily in maint as well, more to keep an eye on things and catch any creep before it gets past whatever my window of tolerance is..
