While lots of data can help some people, I'll just obsess over it (like most people) so it is better to just check once per week. My overall trend is downward, although I did have a 4-month spell where my weight was bouncing back and forth around 180. It took me a bit to figure out why (I was eating a maintenance diet for that weight and didn't even realize it).
All that in mind, I use the scale, the mirror, and the handful of fat I can grab with my hands as my references. When all three convince me that I've hit my target, I'll adjust back the other way.
But the data! Oh, the data. The data is like the donut!
