Christy, it's not really an issue of how often you weigh yourself, it's more an issue of what the result does to you. If you can deal with the daily fluctuations then go right ahead and weigh all you want - if you can't then perhaps you need to set some guidelines to follow. It is adviseable to weigh at the same time everyday, in the same clothing (or naked). It is also important to understand that body weight can fluctuate by as many as 9 lbs in a day. Many weigh once a week; some once a month.
There's a great article you should read here called "Why the scales lie"
In the interest of measuring loss you should also be taking measurements (hips, waist, thighs - both, arms - both, - calves, neck, wrist etc). And keep in mind that when you are not losing scale weight you are most likely losing inches. The two do not happen at the same time.
HTH,
Nat
