I have to weigh myself daily to check for congestive heart failure - one of the tells is gaining 2-7 lbs overnight. Also, the diet I'm currently on suggests daily weigh ins so that if you gain 2 lbs. you can deal with it while it's still manageable rather than finding out a week or a month later that you are up 10 lbs. and you have a job ahead of you to lose it.

I try to do weekly but it always ends up being daily anyway or every other day. I feel like it keeps me on track and accountable for my actions.

I usually weigh weekly, but if I'm close to one of my "mini goals" I will weight more often.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. (1 Cor 6:19-20, NLT)

As long as I am on a healthy track I weigh myself only when I know the scale has something nice to say...like when an item of clothing fits me that didn't before.
