I need help with updating weight

Fighting4Healthy

I am debating on updating my weight. On Thursday I was 159 lbs then I weighed in after a weekend of crazy high sodium eating and now I am 165 lbs. should I update my weight or keep it at 159?

You've probably retained a lot of water. Why don't you skip the scale this week and weigh next week?

I weigh myself daily. I know I shouldn't but it is my OCD. I have to weigh in daily to see my progress or I will fall off the wagon. One of my friends suggested that I see where I am at in a week and go from there. So I am going to drink lots of water and see how low my weight will go next Monday.

I weigh daily, but I only log Friday morning's weight - no matter what it is.

Ready2Rock206- I do the same thing I weigh everyday but only log Thursday mornings weight.

I log everyday as well regardless of how much I have put on. I used to skip, but decided to log everyday. It can be quite disheartening to see the profile go in the wrong direction, but when you loose the weight after a few days, it is such a relief! When I look at my weight profile (after a few weeks/months), it actually tells a story, so I am glad that I log the "good" numbers as well as the "bad".

Hope this helps!!

I would never record any increases, make it motivate you to lose next time

If it helps you achieve your objectives to ignore information, ignore information.

If you are interested in how your body works, log everything and review. You'll notice trends and relationships.
