in Health and Weight Loss
So I've been using this app since January to track my weight loss progress. Since then I've lost almost 6 lbs which is right on track with my .5 lbs a week goal. The only thing I'm wondering is do you guys log even when your on your TOM? I usually skip that week and I'm wondering if I should still log no matter what. It tends to go up by a few lbs most of the week

    I log no matter what. On one app I track my weight every day, the other once a week. I have never even considered not logging during that time.

    I always log... I always go up by a few lbs, also, but at least I know the reason why. It's important to keep track, even if your scale says your off.

    Log it, then you just track the trend. No big deal.

    I always log, but I don't log my weight gain because I know it's just temporary. If I logged every gain I would probably cry because I'm up and down all the time. I'd rather just ride it out.

    Eh I don't!! I have that app too and I know if you're using the moving average it won't be accurate on the graph, it's personal preference! Also I chug 60-80oz a few days before mine is expected, and I only gain 1-2 pounds now!

    I log every day in Happy Scale. It's all good data. TOM is interesting, and good to know the patterns of what happens when.

    I only log my weight in MFP when my weight goes down.

    I don't have the two apps linked (if that's even possible).

    Sure, using an app like this is going to even out the ups and downs, that's the point of using it.
    And I don't see any point in pretending that my monthly cycle doesn't impact my weight - that's something that's out of my control so I'm not going to beat myself up over it.

    The moving average will be affected for a few days but smoothed out and that is the point of a moving average! So yes, log away!

    I'm totally the same as this! Logging in Happy Scale every day but only here if there's a loss.
