For Those That Weigh A Few Times A Day

donicagalek

Which weight do you use to weigh in?

I take a few and usually feel that the middle one is fair. And yes, I like to weigh-in officially every day and I don't beat myself up if I've gained. I would have given up the first day if I did that considering I gained 6 pounds (I just started working out and I was SO swollen and it took forever to get rid of it because I was just re-injuring myself working out each day :-D ).

I weigh myself first thing in the morning before workouts or food and use this number as the "official" number.

never weight more than once a day. and it should be first thing after emptying bladder... i weight every morning at just about the same time. give or take a half hour.. with the same tshirt and undies only.. and never get on again!

May I ask what weighing yourself multiple time a day is supposed to accomplish?

I, too, weigh in every morning. I feel it keep me on track. I get nervous if I don't see what the scale says everyday. Sometimes I do get on it through the day as well.

Best to only count the one first thing in the morning (after the bathroom), as close to naked as possible. Any other times of the day are just interesting to observe. I get a kick out of weighing myself before bed and waking up in the morning 4 lbs lighter.

I use the morning weight.. Naked, of course!!! heck, i would even trim my hair if i thought it would give me another couple of ounces off!!!

I might weigh myself a few times a day, but is only because having a scale is new to me and I am curious about what kinds of things might make it go up and down. I only log my weight every Monday. As soon as I wake up I pee and then weigh myself with just a t-shirt and underwear on. I don't worry what the scale says until my Monday weigh in.

It doesn't hurt. :-)

Morning after you tinkle is the best time to weigh yourself. lol Any other time is not true. If you drink 2 lbs of water, does that mean you are 2lbs heavier? Yes for the moment but that's not your actual weight !!!

i weigh myself multiple times a day too! i go with whichever is lowest -- no joke. it just so happens that my lowest is always first thing in the morning.

Yep I have to weigh myself every morning in tshirt and undies x I cant bear to go a morning without doing it x always have a wee first tho x dont weigh myself throughout the day because I suffer from water retention so it wouldnt be accurate x my water retention is always gone when I wake up it just builds up during the day x so first thing is the best time to get an accurate figure x I couldnt weigh myself once a week because i cant take the wait x having said that tho if i gain a little the next day i dont panic because i know it fluctuates during the week so overall i do look at the weekly figures x

True, but other than the above mention of seeing yourself lose 4 pounds overnight, it doesn't really accomplish anything either. It is just measuring your weight plus food and water taken in and food and water eliminated.

I never said I lost 4 lbs overnight? :-/

So, why do you weigh yourself a few times a day? I have to assume that you do since you bothered to read this thread that's labelled "For Those That Weigh A Few Times A Day" and you're not just being a classic troll looking for opportunities to degrade other people. :-D

Or are you?

it's not unlike looking at one's watch every few minutes while waiting in an airport

I always take the lowest value of all of them, which is usually in the morning before I've eaten or drunk any liquids. It's a fair and concrete mechanism and eliminates error over periods of weeks.

It's exciting and thrilling to weigh yourself multiple times a day! I do it for the kicks and general curiosity. Who wouldn't want to know how many litres one's bladder can hold at its maximum!?

First thing in the morning....after going to the bathroom....before the shower naked----if you take a shower first it will weigh you heavier, because you body soaks up the wanter in the shower : )

One time I lost a half a pound post-shower (and I weighed naked pre-shower). It was so gross. All I could think was "Did I just wash off half a pound of scum?" X-D

yeah i like to first thing in the morning as well! trying to weigh in every three days instead of everyday, though.
