I weigh every day, and it doesn't seem to cause me motivation problems, even when I hover around a certain weight for weeks at a time. It might be partly because I never had scales for most of my adulthood, so I don't have "scales baggage". It might also be because *without* scales I put on a lot of weight in the past, so I enjoy feeling more of a sense of control than I had for all those years. I see what's going on, and I rate my concern about it according to lots of things; how much it varies, TOM, how much salt I had the day before, whether I have changed my exercise lately etc.

I kind of like the completeness of having a record of how much I weighed most days. It is so in-my-face- obvious that I have lost weight, but it's also in-my-face obvious that I have lost size, so I rejoice in both those things and don't get bogged down in the former. It's kind of a curiosity for me.
