How may days do you...

maintain a weight before logging it in? what I mean is how long do you wait to make sure that you have actually lost the weight before recording it? I do not want to jump the gun and record a weight only to gain it back again. I just wanted to see what others did. Thanks:flowerforyou:

I record my weight every 10 days. This allows me for the slight fluctuation from day to day.

It's probably by personal preference.
But you can start to figure out a pattern.
If you fluctuate in weight a lot, maybe weight until you are consistently below your current weight before recording it.
I tend to have a pretty steady weight usually, so whenever I see a loss I immediately record it!
Even if I do fluctuate back up, I don't move it, I just wait until the scale goes below my last recorded weight.

I guess you could say I record my lowest possible weight.

Also, I only check my weight once every 1-1.5 weeks. This usually leads me to believe that I am actually down that much weight.

I weigh in once a week and record it.....the fact of life is that it WILL go up and down....you will lose and gain...part could be water part could be cheetos,:laugh: but our bodies fluctuate. Pick a day, weigh that day and update your info...

I just do mine every Wednesday. I don't want to even look until then. Plus you have to take into account what is going on with your body at that time.

Thanks for all of you replies. Once a week is what I was thinking too. I have kept my weight at 125 for a week so I guess I will log it as a loss. Another question then...How often do you weigh yourself? I personally weigh in every morning. I feel like it keeps me on track and motivates me.

I track mine every day and noticed that I usually go up a pound or two mid-week but then am back down to what I started at plus some, so I figured that Sundays are usually the best time for me to weigh-in.

Right now I am weighing myself once a week but I think I will start weighing myself twice or once a month starting in Sep. Weight fluctuates every day depending on water retention, etc. It will drive me crazy to weigh in every day. :flowerforyou:

I record every Wednesday, but I weigh myself every morning also because it does keep me on track and motivated also.

I weigh myself once a week, usually on Friday morning, But if I have a weekend where I didn't eat a well as I would have liked, I'll check again on Monday, just to get an idea of the impact the weekend had. But I try not to sweat it. Friday is the day. If my regular eating and exercise hasn't made up for the weekend, then I just have to do better the next weekend. So far, I haven't had a weekend that actually made my net weight go up.

I weigh everyday and record it daily.

Monday is my official weight in day and whatever it says on Monday is what counts. I do weight myself almost daily but I am totally OK with the daily fluctuations I see; some people get too happy or sad and cant deal with that. Also, I don't do anything special (like under eat or exercise extra the day(s) before) so Monday is "extra" low - it is what it is.

momma2jaiden

I weigh my self every day a few times a day to see the pattern of loss an gain i go throughout the day i usually log it in once i see it 2 days in a row because so far i havnt gained any weight all i see is weight loss my weight only fluctuates during the day so waht i see in the morning is usually what i think is the right weight lol besides at night a couple of hours after dinner when i weigh myself again i am back to what i weighed in the morning

Weigh in every thursday morning at 5:30 am. After I take a tinkle and before I have a shower. This weight is the one I go by for the week....all the other quick weigh in's I disregard....I see it...I stand on it...it lies to me....I put it back away...LOL!

Once a week.

I weigh and log once a week. I think I would go insane doing it daily!! :laugh:

I go for my weigh in at my dr's office every two weeks and that is what I record as my weigh in. I do it on Thursdays every two weeks. I do weigh every day but I don't record it. I have however recorded my weight that i weighed last week on here. I was 212 at my last dr weigh in and now i have one tomorrow I hope it is what I have put on here being 207. That is my goal and that is what my scale at home says

I weigh myself every sunday morning before eating anything, and record it right away.
