Stop Weighting myself, everyday.

TheBrock84

I'm going to stop weighing myself, everyday because each time on my weigh-in Day (Fridays), when I'm eating healthy and exercising I'm at a lower weight. But after, I eat on that day and drink LOTS of water and exercise, my weight is up by 4-5 pounds. Is it due to Weight Fluctuation due to water or something else? Let me know.

Weight loss is not linear. If you choose to weigh everyday you have to be able to deal with the fluctuations. I suggest weight trend app or something similar to see your progress realistically.

Weigh yourself every week instead, everytime you wake up in the morning go take a piss, wipe yo *kitten*, then jump on that scale

You're not gaining and losing 5lbs of fat a week. If you weigh every day you have to be prepared for fluctuations based on a ton of factors, like sodium, water retention, etc. Use a weight trends website you can look at for the overall trend, or just weigh less frequently.

If by "after" you mean you are weighing yourself again later that day, just weigh yourself first thing in the AM, as your weight goes up as soon as you start eating and drinking, but this is irrelevant to your actual progress.

An example of the past 2 weeks for me: 293...295...297...289...288...291. I didn't even include weighing over 300 at the start of the month. Weight fluctuates about 5lbs or so easily. As everyone says, this process isn't linear. I was 288 and ate a bunch of processed, salty snacks last night thus being up 3lbs. No frets, it's just water.

As long as you're averaging below calories (I tend to check how I'm doing on a weekly scope as to if I'm below calories) you're gonna lose weight.

Water retention and the food in your system for sure! Have a weekly weigh in instead of daily, I prefer weighing myself at WED-THU do what ever works for you.

I have to weigh in weekly as the fluctuation stress me too much. It works for some but not everyone
