Monthly weigh-ins or weekly weigh-ins... which one do u guys prefer???

kreyolcakee

Me personally I think monthly would be better bc the scale could be my worst enemy.. if I don't see results consistently each week I really beat myself up, and I'll probably give up, but I feel as though I should transition to weekly just to stay on top of my numbers...any advice MFP?

Neither, I weigh daily, but I record my weight whenever I hit a new low. That way I'm not stressed out a particular day.

I weigh daily but probably will switch to 3 times a week. My weight just swings too wildly during the week to trust daily weighings.

I weigh daily but log it weekly.

I weigh almost everyday. I work in healthcare so I use one of those scales every morning I work before eating or drinking. I don't expect to lose everyday but I like seeing the fluctuations.

Daily weighing + phone app for plotting trends/averages = accurate tracking of body weight changes.

Every 2 weeks to make sure you on the right track

Daily.

If I only weigh once a month and see I've lost 2 pounds in that month I'd be disappointed. But that would likely not let me see that two days before I was down 5 pounds for the month. Weighing daily lets me see the fluctuations, and then I can see the overall trend past it.

I weigh every day or close to it but only log weekly, if that.

girlgeeklula

I weigh daily and track for trend data, but only officially log once a week (Saturday or Sunday morning).

Wow I didn't think I would get these responses as far as daily! But wat are good apps to track my weight fluctuations or weight trends?

For web-based tracking there is Trendweight, which you need either a Fitbit or Withings account to connect to

A good app is this one or Happy Scale, which always logs your lowest weight.

I weigh daily (usually) but log weekly, whether or not it is high/low.

Weekly weigh-ins for sure because I want to know how well I'm doing or if I need to cut back on food portions at a time when I can make changes that will produce positive effects that willl take effect in my body right away. That feedback is really helpful on a weekly basis.

I weigh myself every morning

I weigh once every Friday morning after bathroom trip

Daily as well when I'm in weight loss mode. It's an important data point. I don't have to like it, I just have to record it.

LaReinaDeCorazones

Weigh myself daily, but only log it when it's a new low. Lately it's been daily, even if only by .2 lbs, but if it went up or stayed the same, I'd know to tweak my diet/exercise if it continued on that trend.

Rebnurse1977

Im surprised by all the daily weights! Im like you OP, I can easily get discouraged when im working so hard but see that scale go up... wonder if Im doing it wrong.

jennybearlv

Another daily and I use Trendweight with my Fitbit scale. My scale is my friend.

SCoil123

I weigh daily and use trendweight to track fluctuations. It gives me a more accurate picture I think.

JLG1986

I weigh daily, first thing in the morning. It helps me understand my loss pattern - actually helps me be less concerned about fluctuations.

orangegato

As has been said before many times: Weight loss is not linear. There will be daily fluctuations. But the formula for calculating weekly weight loss that MFP uses turns out to be pretty accurate.

lorrpb

Daily. It helps me understand and follow the normal fluctuations. I trend in happy scale & libra.
