I only weigh myself one a month - sometimes less! I log my weight the day I weigh-in. Why wait?0
-
My weigh in day is Friday. I log any loss over 1 pound. If my weight fluctuates after that, I don't log it on MFP again until there's a loss.0
-
I'm a bit paranoid so I check the following day, and the next, then log. Although that being said when I do have a loss, even though it's little I actually feel a lot lighter.0
-
i normally log my loss right away... and i usually only log my losses just for the fact that i can go on my phone and look at my lowest weight and keep striving to make that number lower haha! However i do write my daily weight down on a pocket calendar so i do know my weight every morning but i love to just have my lowest logged in MFP so i know what i want to work to get lower!!0

whether its a gain or a loss I add it ... and i dont weight myself everyday. i do like every 3 days or so. for the most part if you just stay below your daily caloroie intake then you're gonna lose weight... as long as you are taking in at least 1200 calories.0

I log my weekly weight. I weigh in on Tuesdays. Today I had a 0.4lb increase and I logged it too. It helps keep me accountable doing just once per week.0

I log it the very instant I get off the scale!!! I don't even get dressed first!!!
LOL :-)
Take credit when credit is due, girl!!!!
I do this tooooooo ... much to the chagrin of anyone that happens to be home at the time.0 -
A loss is a loss! :happy:
BUT I don't log it if it's a dehydration loss. After a run I can be 4# down (I am trying to learn to drink more water during the run) and this also happens after a night of boozing it up.
But otherwise, log away! ASAP! STAT!0 -
LOL I thought I was the only one who did that. I weigh before and after the "loo"
before and after a shower (by the way I think you gain after a shower, maybe the water is sucked in by our pores) but honestly on a regular I weigh in the morning and at night to get an idea of how things effect my weight. but I typically only log once a week

This is exactly what I do! Take it for what it is! :flowerforyou:I weigh once a week, and whatever it is, it is, so I log it.0

I log all losses straight away... but don't log gains
It gives me something to try and beat then!

once a week on a friday morning I get on the scales and weigh myself that's my check-in day. I log every week gain or loss0

I log weekly, regardless of whether it's up or down.0

Hello all.
I wondered how long you all wait until you log a weight loss? Last month I logged a loss after a couple of days then yoyoed crazily for a couple of weeks. Now I have lost a further couple of pounds but might wait a few days before I log it incase I go up and down again!! What works for you? Do you grab the moment and log as soon as you notice a loss, or do you wait to see if it stays down for a few days and then log?
Just interested! Have a nice day everyone!
I weigh myself once per week on a Sunday morning and log regardless of the result.0 -
I do 'weigh-in Wednesdays!'
A week is long enough to see a true loss, as sometimes I'll lose 3, gain back 2...gain 4, lose 6...etc0 -
I log if it is a loss b/c I was logging even if I gained & it seems like I keep fluctuating by 2lbs either way....I don't want everyone saying well done to me when it's the same 2lbs each time...It gets confusing...0

Me too!! (I think it helps me stay on track... Once it's logged, I consider it LOST and I don't want to let myself go in the other direction. It's a motivator for me.0 -
I weigh once a week, and whatever it is, it is, so I log it.
This is what I do too.0 -
I log once a week, whether up or down with one exception: I NEVER log in PMS week....too depressing!!0
