Thank you for the confirmation!  

I check weight daily but take an official "weigh in" for the app on Sunday mornings.  

Good idea. Daily fluctuations of 3 pounds up and down is mine. I range from 127 - 130 in maintenance. The once a week weigh in for me is done before I drink and after morning bowel movement and no heavy clothes. 

I only weigh-in once a week (Thursdays a.m.). No use torturing yourself every day - it's like a birthday present at the end of the week even if you only lose 1/2 lb. 

My nutritionist was very firm that I was not to weigh in at most once a week - same day, first thing in the am, nekkid. For a loser/gain more person like me, the daily would inevitably scuttle my progress with a binge as what was the point of trying so hard. This go round, the once a week weigh in is merely an indicator of whether a course correction is required necessitating a review of the previous few weeks food diary. Tweak as needed. I am so relieved that for the first time in my life the scale is not my enemy, merely a tool to eventually achieve GW. 

That's what I have to do too. I still want to weigh in on my scales often, but I don't record the weight but once a week. It keeps me from obsessing about it.  

Use the small scale..the digital scale without exception and the big scale will take care of itself...simple physics. If you are honestly following a food plan with specific food amounts and you are not varying you cannot possibly gain weight. Unless you are eating portions as part of your food plan that are too big. That is a given. I eat 4 oz of lean protein at each meal, 12 oz of vegetables or a 6 oz fruit and no more than 40 grams of shredded wheat with bran at lunch and dinner. Or and 8 oz dry baked potato or sweet potato...the weight has fallen off...and I am never hungry. 3 meals a day, weighed and measured, nothing in between, nothing after dinner. NO flour no sugar. Simple. And I never eat out..its s food plan killer...too much fat, portions too large and you have no idea what's in the food. Set up for failure.  

I get that. I have fluctuations due to colon irregularities. I weigh in once a week and I don't get disappointed. Everyone's hormones and functions are different. Try not to make this a stressful process.  

I do twice a week for same reason  

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I have a rare blood disorder & MS so unfortunately battling losing weight, despite being on a low carb high protein regiment, with Steroid inflammation reduction management. So, my weight will continue to fluctuate, but as long as I continue to drop during the one checkin!
