Weight lost or not?

FunkyMonkey80

I'm on "lose a pound" a week program.. so this morning I weighed the same (slightly less) as I did a week ago, but then this afternoon I actually weighed 2 lbs less. When do I know whether I should update my profile and change how much I weigh with these fluctuations? Losing a lb would make sense since I have been in a deficit and exercising..

I log all my lowest weights.

Do it based on the time you weigh in. I weigh every morning after evacuating my bladder/bowels. I track daily, update MFP weekly. Weight is constantly fluctuating. I weigh less in the morning than I do at night, so that is when I weigh in. Consistency is what is most important

Body weight fluctuates all day long. Put in this morning's weight and do it again next week. You are looking for trends.

I log my Monday morning first thing weight (up, down or the same). Any other weight at any other time doesn't get logged. That way I always have a consistent point to track.

Ok.. I always weigh myself in the morning.. but was surprised to weigh less this afternoon! I'll weigh again tomorrow morning and go with that weight. Thanks everyone.

Everyone does it differently but the key is to weight at the same time of day really. I log new lows only after two days running of that low showing as my weight bounces all over the place due to water retention.

Good advice.
