@dvmmcw8020
If you are feeling that weighing each day is not for you then do it less often. Some people on this thread weigh weekly or twice weekly.
I find for myself that when I weigh daily I eat less the night before than I would if I knew that I wasn't. Silly I know, but it works for me.
I can see at a glance when things should be avoided or cut back if they are always causing a raise.
It also can be very frustrating when there is a weight fluctuation for no apparent reason! In that case if I was weighing weekly and it happened to fall on a weigh day then I would be very upset with working hard all week and seeing a gain.
Lol, psychological games that we play with ourselves to try and achieve our goals. Whatever works.4 -
Hi. I am Dawn. 61yrs, 5'2"
I topped out at 207 pounds years ago, I started MFP over 3 years ago at 191.
I hit 130.6 in March or April of 2021 and then gained a bit each month after that for the rest of the year. Those illusive 120s, maybe this year.
My ideal weight for my body structure is 110 according to many methods.
1/1 - DNW - I am using my end weight from last month as my start weight. 136.0
1/2 - DNW
1/3 - 139.2 - This seems inflated. Hope to never see this number ever again, hadn't seen it this high since 2020.
1/4 - 136.4 - Burned more calories than I ate yesterday with a beautiful big dump of snow to shovel, plus skating. Clear and blue this morning, hoping to be able to grab a quick cross-country ski today after work before it gets dark.
1/5 - 136.0 - Broke even. Going skating to 2 different arenas today, one before work and one after. Cooking up my veggies for the next 2 days this morning.
1/6 - 135.2 - I am losing weight, but my activity has been much more than my intake this week. This is not sustainable over the long term, but happy to see the scale dropping nevertheless.
1/7 - 135.2 - Odd for me to have the same weight 2 days in a row. Planning for a bit of an indulgent weekend, but will try to keep it reasonable. Ice skating this morning before work which should fire up my metabolism.
1/8 - 137.8 - Ouch, but expected. Mulled Cider spiked with spiced rum, pizza.
1/9 - 139.0 - Very early weigh in, I wasn't even going to get up, but once I did I wanted a glass of water, so thought that I should weigh before that. Feeling kind of lean, so expect the scale to really drop tomorrow when I can hopefully sleep until 7am.
1/10 - 139.8 - Double ouch. 3 slices of Pizza from Friday still showing up? Argh. Truly expected a big drop today, very active weekend and good food choices. Oh well, ice skating this morning before work and cross-country skiing after work.
1/11 - 139.0 - Very active time of year for me with lots of ice skating. Hoping to see a big drop on the scale to reflect it. Not today : - )
1/12 - 138.8
1/13 - 138.6
1/14 - 138.2 - Skating this morning before work, so will burn extra calories having fun, on top of my usual workouts. Good thing because Friday night I typically have a couple of cocktails and eat something a little yummier than my usual veggies with a small slab of meat on the George Foreman grill. I will have a bit of a buffer. I still haven't changed my check-in on MFP since March when I was sitting at 130.6. Pedometre is set at that weight also.
1/15 - 136.8 - Wow, I even had East Indian food from work last night. Surprised by the drop, but maybe my active week finally registered in my slow to catch up body. On days off now for 2 so will be eating well and prepping food for next week.
1/16 - 139.6 - Wow. Yo-yo on the scale. Skating today, so hope to even this out.
1/17 - 139.8 - Couldn't skate yesterday, I was too achy and chilled from my booster shot. It shows.
1/18 - 139.2
1/19 - 139.2 - I think that it would have been less except that I ate 2! samosas yesterday which I don't normally include as food. Double skating today, before work and during my break on my split shift, so hopefully a nice loss on the scale in the days to follow. Really don't like being up this high at all.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

01/10.…..194.4…..(Trend Weight 192.1)…..
01/11.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 192.2)….. Strange. I ate the exact same food as the day before. Same breakfast, same lack of lunch and the same amount of pizza (leftovers) and this time I lost instead of gained. No difference in TMI and no difference in exercise. Hmph. Come to think of it though, I did push a little more water. I probably drank about 24 oz extra. Not as much as I’d hoped, but there is that. I hope the leftovers don’t catch up to me and wreak havoc again! Dining room getting painted. He’s been working on it a couple of days. It’s looking good and may be completed by today. It’s another temporary project to update things until the full kitchen / diningroom reno.
01/12.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 192.2)….. A pretty good day overall although no change on the scale. I’m going to try to make today really count. Feeling pretty strong this A.M.
01/13.…..192.8…..(Trend Weight 192.3)….. Fluctuation. Travel today for building supplies. Dinner will be out.
01/14.…..194.0…..(Trend Weight 192.5)….. The travel included Chinese food, lack of water and little movement with plenty of time in the car. I’ll try to make today a good day and push water for sure!
01/15……194.6…..(Trend Weight 192.7)….. Finished the leftovers, the stocking and apparently everything else in the house! Another restart today. Hope it works this time!
01/16……193.8…..(Trend Weight 192.8)….. I am happy to see some progress. Kitchen reno is done (for now) and now begins the livingroom painting. Also adding two small walls to keep an open concept but give me small areas for extra cabinets on the dining room side. This will likely take a few weeks but at least I have free access to the kitchen (and meal planning) again! I finally broke down and changed my ticker to the higher weight I’ve had since late Oct before my surgery and the holidays. I was not happy to do it but keeping it real and honest is important!
01/17.…..194.4…..(Trend Weight 193.0)….. I couldn’t get full yesterday and no TMI today. It’s got to get better tomorrow!
01/18.…..193.8…..(Trend Weight 193.0)….. Good meals but too much grazing during the day. Extra hungry for some reason. Today there will be more work on the living room reno project. This project will last several weeks. No room. Furniture covered and in the center. No privacy again. However, the dining room turned out nice and the living room will be an even bigger impact! Glad to be getting some of this out of the way during the cold snowy and icy months. I will need some alone time to leave the house to walk when the weather gets better.
01/19.…..193.2…..(Trend Weight 193.1)….. Well, this certainly proves that results, good or bad, are not always reflected the very next morning. I had a bad eating day yesterday for sure. Yet the scale is down. Very low steps, practically no water. Very bad sleep, disrupted. Busy, busy day. Yet the scale is down by slightly over ½ pound. This must be a result of the past couple of days where my meals were more planned and within my limits. I suspect the scale will creep back up because of yesterday’s fiasco. I’ll work on a good day today.

1/5: 140.8
1/6: 142.4 Extremely maddening. I went to a Chinese buffet last night, so this is sodium and actual weight of the food, but still. I didn't eat to the point that I was stuffed, and I didn't eat 1.4 fat pounds worth of calories. One day to put it on, 3 days to take it off!
1/7: 140.4 Well, that was the fastest I've ever dropped water weight! I drank 12 cups of water yesterday, so maybe that helped.
Week 1 Loss: -1.4
1/8: 140.4

1/19: 139.4 I had a lazy, indulgent Monday and was too scared to get on the scale yesterday haha! I'm adding an extra 15 minutes of exercise every day this week to compensate.

17/1. Did not weigh. Had a bad few days. My daughter is poorly with her asthma, so that means hardly any sleep and constant worry for the last 48 hours or so. Obviously, I've just ate anything and everything I can get my hands on and not really logged anything. Hopefully🤞 we all sleep better tonight and I can have a better day tomorrow.
18/1. 212 (trend 212) a great day for me. Under calories goal, drunk plenty of water and had some exercise 👍😁
19/1. 212 (trend 212) only about 200 over calorie goal today. Loads of exercise as me and hubby had a big clear out. Hopefully I'll start seeing scales moving some time soon.

@dawnbgethealthy you're so right here. my first two weeks in and I've been weighing daily, but I'm going to switch it to every Thursdays now. I'm hoping my random weight flucuactions don't fall on that day too 😂 because like you said if you've worked hard all week and see these flucuactions it would be upsetting. But I need to remind myself they're normal too. ❤️3 -

01/18.…..193.8…..(Trend Weight 193.0)….. Good meals but too much grazing during the day. Extra hungry for some reason. Today there will be more work on the living room reno project. This project will last several weeks. No room. Furniture covered and in the center. No privacy again. However, the dining room turned out nice and the living room will be an even bigger impact! Glad to be getting some of this out of the way during the cold snowy and icy months. I will need some alone time to leave the house to walk when the weather gets better.
01/19.…..193.2…..(Trend Weight 193.1)….. Well, this certainly proves that results, good or bad, are not always reflected the very next morning. I had a bad eating day yesterday for sure. Yet the scale is down. Very low steps, practically no water. Very bad sleep, disrupted. Busy, busy day. Yet the scale is down by slightly over ½ pound. This must be a result of the past couple of days where my meals were more planned and within my limits. I suspect the scale will creep back up because of yesterday’s fiasco. I’ll work on a good day today.
01/20.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 193.0)….. Not a perfect day dietary wise, but more improvements made in choices and quantities. Very little movement as it is still restricted. Only 7000+ steps. I’m going to focus on water today. I haven’t been drinking enough. Glad to see that scale dropped, but also that my trend weight has turned around a tidbit and going down instead of up finally.

Hi. I am Dawn. 61yrs, 5'2"
I topped out at 207 pounds years ago, I started MFP over 3 years ago at 191.
I hit 130.6 in March or April of 2021 and then gained a bit each month after that for the rest of the year. Those illusive 120s, maybe this year.
My ideal weight for my body structure is 110 according to many methods.
1/1 - DNW - I am using my end weight from last month as my start weight. 136.0
1/2 - DNW
1/3 - 139.2 - This seems inflated. Hope to never see this number ever again, hadn't seen it this high since 2020.
1/4 - 136.4 - Burned more calories than I ate yesterday with a beautiful big dump of snow to shovel, plus skating. Clear and blue this morning, hoping to be able to grab a quick cross-country ski today after work before it gets dark.
1/5 - 136.0 - Broke even. Going skating to 2 different arenas today, one before work and one after. Cooking up my veggies for the next 2 days this morning.
1/6 - 135.2 - I am losing weight, but my activity has been much more than my intake this week. This is not sustainable over the long term, but happy to see the scale dropping nevertheless.
1/7 - 135.2 - Odd for me to have the same weight 2 days in a row. Planning for a bit of an indulgent weekend, but will try to keep it reasonable. Ice skating this morning before work which should fire up my metabolism.
1/8 - 137.8 - Ouch, but expected. Mulled Cider spiked with spiced rum, pizza.
1/9 - 139.0 - Very early weigh in, I wasn't even going to get up, but once I did I wanted a glass of water, so thought that I should weigh before that. Feeling kind of lean, so expect the scale to really drop tomorrow when I can hopefully sleep until 7am.
1/10 - 139.8 - Double ouch. 3 slices of Pizza from Friday still showing up? Argh. Truly expected a big drop today, very active weekend and good food choices. Oh well, ice skating this morning before work and cross-country skiing after work.
1/11 - 139.0 - Very active time of year for me with lots of ice skating. Hoping to see a big drop on the scale to reflect it. Not today : - )
1/12 - 138.8
1/13 - 138.6
1/14 - 138.2 - Skating this morning before work, so will burn extra calories having fun, on top of my usual workouts. Good thing because Friday night I typically have a couple of cocktails and eat something a little yummier than my usual veggies with a small slab of meat on the George Foreman grill. I will have a bit of a buffer. I still haven't changed my check-in on MFP since March when I was sitting at 130.6. Pedometre is set at that weight also.
1/15 - 136.8 - Wow, I even had East Indian food from work last night. Surprised by the drop, but maybe my active week finally registered in my slow to catch up body. On days off now for 2 so will be eating well and prepping food for next week.
1/16 - 139.6 - Wow. Yo-yo on the scale. Skating today, so hope to even this out.
1/17 - 139.8 - Couldn't skate yesterday, I was too achy and chilled from my booster shot. It shows.
1/18 - 139.2
1/19 - 139.2 - I think that it would have been less except that I ate 2! samosas yesterday which I don't normally include as food. Double skating today, before work and during my break on my split shift, so hopefully a nice loss on the scale in the days to follow. Really don't like being up this high at all.
1/20 - 138.8 - Huge calorie burn yesterday.

1/3: 141.2
1/4: 141
1/5: 140.8
1/6: 142.4 Extremely maddening. I went to a Chinese buffet last night, so this is sodium and actual weight of the food, but still. I didn't eat to the point that I was stuffed, and I didn't eat 1.4 fat pounds worth of calories. One day to put it on, 3 days to take it off!
1/7: 140.4 Well, that was the fastest I've ever dropped water weight! I drank 12 cups of water yesterday, so maybe that helped.
Week 1 Loss: -1.4
1/8: 140.4

1/16: 138.8
1/17: 138.2
1/18: DNW
1/19: 139.4 I had a lazy, indulgent Monday and was too scared to get on the scale yesterday haha! I'm adding an extra 15 minutes of exercise every day this week to compensate.
1/20: 139.2

It also can be very frustrating when there is a weight fluctuation for no apparent reason! In that case if I was weighing weekly and it happened to fall on a weigh day then I would be very upset with working hard all week and seeing a gain.
I'm one who has gone from once a week, daily, twice a week, back to daily and more recently sporadically. I think it really depends on how much it effects you and what your goals are. When I did it monthly I was looking for patterns based on exercise and diet. For my lifestyle weighing on Friday and Monday or Tuesday is helpful to keep me from going overboard on the weekend which is when I'm more likely to go out to eat and/or imbibe in alcoholic beverages.
Experiment a bit with different variations and see which one works best for your personality.
