How often do you weigh in? Whats' your workout schedule?

mrstyle25

I'm currently weighing in once a week on Friday mornings prior to my workout. I did this the second day I started working out and have just stuck with it. I'm wondering if I should go to twice a week, to help me tweak my diet and routine more, or if I should stick with the once a week approach.

if I go to twice a week it would be Tuesday morning before workouts and Friday mornings before workout. Monday is my off day, so that means I would have three days of workouts between each weigh-in. That keeps it even and fair, right?


Always eat right despite one off day and workouts consist of cardio at ther gym followed by Xbox Kinect Biggest Loser calistinics workout.


* Monday - Off day

* Tuesday - Weigh/Workout
* Wednesday - Workout
* Thursday - Workout

* Friday - Weigh/Workout
* Saturday - Workout
* Sunday - Workout

Have a great and healthy day everyone!!!

I weigh in everyday..just for my own piece of mind. I work out 6 days a week for 30-50 minutes depending on what I want to do.

Weigh in once a week with my other MFP members that are my friends. Monday morning first thing.

Hi there,
I would suggest keeping to your once a week and perhaps also measure yourself once a month? As you lose weight and gain muscle, you'll be shrinking, but your weight might be creeping up due to the muscle! Just a thought for you

I weigh in when I'm feeling lucky. I don't see a lot of movement on the scale but I am seeing it in my body as I lose the jiggly stuff and gain muscle tone. Seeing the pounds go down is awesome but imagining myself feeling better on the beach the summer gets me through that bit.

My doctor & trainer both say once a week is good. My routines were Mon-Sat & Sun rested. Monday a.m. I would weigh-in......but I guess it's up to the individual...........Hope this helps.........GOOD LUCK...................:glasses:

I weigh in twice a month but I think I will start doing it once a month. I don't want to live by the scale....my clothes will tell me if I'm losing or gaining.

I work out mon thru sat. I weigh myself first thing wed morning before I drink ot eat anything or workout. I weigh in wed because if I see something off I can fix it and not waste the week doing something that doesnt work.

I'm weigh daily. It keeps me accountable that way I'm not a week behind when I figure out I'm off path. I only log it when I'm down, to record my lowest weight. I weigh before I work out to avoid dehydration loss.

I work out at 4:30 M-F and in the AM on weekends. I sometimes run in the evenings or weekends if it's not too dark or I want the extra stress relief.

I weigh in every morning before a work out
I alternate how I work out, I do body splits.. So one day I will work legs the next I will work half my upper body next is legs then after that is the other half of my upper.. I work out 5 days a week with Sat and Sun off... I do minimal cardio

As far as working out... between 2 and 4 days a week. I like to do LA Boxing twice a week and then try to fit in regular gym twice a week to do a little strength training and treadmill / elliptical. LA Boxing workouts are 1 hour and at the gym I usually spend about 1.5 hours. With more free time I'd really like to do maybe 5 days a week, but you prioritize your life and you do what you can.

Now that I've gotten accustomed to making myself sweat I might give P90x a try this month at the recommendation of a friend of mine who's completed it and been really happy with it. I'd like to keep up my other schedule as well but I have no idea if I'll be able to handle that or not until I get there.

I work out evenings Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Wednesday I focus most on weights.
Thursday I mix weights and treadmill running.
Friday's I do HIIT training with treadmill/elliptical/cycling
Saturday I do HIIT as well, and go wild since it's a day I do not work and have the next day off.

I weight in Saturday mornings before breakfast.

I find once a week is fine for me to keep track of overall trends without getting hung up on tiny variations.
If I weighed myself every day I'd get neurotic about tiny shifts up or down and just mess myself up.

I switched from weighing daily to weighing once a week, on Friday mornings.

I do workout Dvd, usually at 5 am, 30-60 minutes depending on Dvd. (I have several Jillian Michaels and a couple Billy Banks)

I walk 3+ miles on Saturday mid-day.

Sunday I rest.

I used to weigh every day but that's too depressing so I'm going to do this too!

I weigh myself every morning.After a while, I will try to switch to weighing in once a week, but I do it everyday for now. I generally work out 6 days a week for at least an hour at the gym. I divide my time between the ellipticals, arc trainer, treadmills, and track most days depending on what I feel like doing that day. I also do 30 Day Shred occasionally, though not as often as I should.

Also, Sundays are usually my rest days, but sometimes it just depends on my schedule.

Fun to see everyone’s approach.

I am weighing only once a month. Exercise is Monday through Saturday. Three of those days are yoga. The others are a mix of cardio and strength training (elliptical, , stationary bike, body pump class, bootcamp). Every other week I do two workouts in one day and rest the day after.

I weigh in on Saturdays
and I dont have a regular work out schedeul
I probably should, but i I find it so hard where Im a casual at work so I never know my work scheduel and I work 12 hour shifts.

I weigh in daily just so I can keep focused.

My workout schedule is I try to run every other day at least (I'm running an 8 k next month) and I have been adding some light weights to try to define muscle whenever I think about it. Not very scheduled, but it's more than I was doing before, and I'm seeing results! I definitely have more endurance with running. YAY me!

I must be the only one who weighs in every 2 wks (Sun), I do it for my sanity, I use to go crazy not seeing the scale drop after my workout or a few days after. It has worked for me, I've been consistenly losing. I take my measurements every 2 wks as well.
