Weigh in? and Cheat/Reward days?

strawberrie_milk

I weigh in every day. I don't do cheat meals.

I weigh myself daily, but log it once a week on Friday, before the weekend

I used to do cheat days before I found MFP, but now that I see how many calories are actually in foods, it kind of disgusted me.. I knew I was going to go out last night and drink so I made sure to get in plenty of exercise before and even ate when I got home and logged it. Still under for the day, but barely...

I weigh in once a week(Sunday morning). I dont have cheat days, If I am craving something I eat it, however its only a small portion of that treat. Mind over matter.

I weigh in on a Sunday morning and a Wednesday - no particular reason for those days. I only log the weight if it is a loss.
I don't have planned cheat days - they just happen sometimes like when I can't be bothered "being good"!

I weigh myself and record it every Saturday morning. There are times that I will weigh myself during the week, if I feel I am not doing so good. I don't let it bother me, I just use it as an approximate idea of where I am. Sometimes, I am up during the week but still have managed to lose weight every week since January 4th averaging 2.3 pounds per week.
I don't have cheat days. If I want something I eat it within reason. I just make sure I get extra exercise in. Because I have more time to exercise on the weekends, I usually end up splurging more those days.

I am weighing in weekly on Sundays.

I try to plan rewards that are not related to food. I decided that I am not a dog so I don't need "treats" for doing a good job. I have rewarded myself with things like a new workout dvd, and a fitbit. I also reward myself by increasing the demand I place on my body. I do more!

I do not intentionally have cheat days... I am not on a diet, I am trying to change my lifestyle, attempting and so far succeeding in changing from a more sedentary life with fatter less healthy foods. I have not made any food off limits, I try to eat smaller amounts and am sure to count every bite I take in. I have had a couple of days in the last 3 months that I have definately overeaten but have counted it and said oh well I will do better later!

Good luck!

This I agree with. Rewarding myself with food makes me feel strange. Strangely enough I have also chosen the same reward for myself once I get down 10 pounds (fitbit).

I weigh in every day but the main one that counts is on tuesday at tops! the rest of the week is to help me stay on track ... I cheat tue an sat or sun ,..then the next day get right back on track!

I try and weigh in once a week if there are scales available! (I move around a lot on placements)

With regards to cheat days, I don't really have planned days but if I meet up with friends and family I'll happily eat out / get takeaway. I enjoy baking so I'll make my own cake etc rather than buying it. I'm not going to never eat cake again for the rest of my life so if I want some cake or chocoalate I'll have some, but it will be SOME and not half the cake (which I would have happily done a few months ago!)

I wouldn't say I use sweet treats as a reward though, it's all about the clothes, music and kindle books!

I weigh everyday, but only log it in, once a week. I do not have cheat days, because I just plan out my day to include an occasional treat. I also just choose better "treats".

Like I would normally have a regular grande mocha frappuccino, but yesterday I got the light version. And it was just as yummy, but less than 200 calories.
