yes

Technically, you're supposed to weigh once a week and if you have any extraordinary compulsive behaviors you might not want to get into the weighing everyday thing.

For me, after a lifetime of dieting, I'm curious and interested in tracking how my weight fluctuates to educate myself for maintenance and really understanding how my body reacts/doesn't react to food intake. But I've made a conscious decision to let this process take as long as it needs to and not beat myself up over small gains or losses (despite some normal chit-chatty disappointment with the lack of movement on the scale)

Oh, PS, Dr. scales are rarely the same as at home - it doesn't matter - losing a pound is losing a pound no matter what the initial weight is. I know it can be demotivating to weigh at the doctor's but just go by consistency whichever scale you're using.
