weighing in every 2/3 weeks instead?

jenzimmer

Is anyone only jumping on the scale every couple of weeks? I think that I'm going to start doing this because I have such a small amount to loose that there are some weeks that I haven't lost anything (in fact gained):noway: This causes me to get really upset and thus I eat more! Plus, I've had 2 bad weekends (4th of July and then out of town with the girls) so I'm totaly freaked out that I've gained it all back. After the 4th, I gained a pound back and I'm sure that I've gained evern more from my girls weekend. So I was thinking if I work hard and eat great, the next time I weigh in maybe I'll at least be back to where I started. Any thoughts?

I have done that sometimes. Every week will be different, I like every week because it lets me know if I have anything I need to change that I could do different the next week.

Personally- i weigh in every week just cause i can't help it lol
but I think every 2 weeks is fine- definitely would show more results.

I think once a month is not often enough- because you may think you're doing the program correctly and then come to find out you have gained/ haven't lost much and that month may have been wasted when you could have corrected the problem a few weeks ago and gotten back on track.

Yea, I think 1 time per month is to long. I was thinking every 2 weeks. I think I'm just scared to see what the scale says.

the same is happening with me, i fluctuate 5 lbs every weekend, up down up down. and then i eat really healthy in the morning...and then feel discouraged late in the afternoon and pig out and have to work out way too much.

i am just gonna weigh in every two weeks i think

I think 2 weeks should be the minimum amount of time between weigh-ins. One week just isn't long enough to really see the effects of your efforts.

I concur. I wouldn't go any longer than 2 weeks. Hopefully you'll see a bigger diffrernce which will motivate you.

I usually weigh once a month. I didn't weigh at all when I first started. Just trusted that I was doing what was right and would see the desired result. The scale should not be your one and only measure either. I have gained weight and gotten smaller. :drinker:

You gained weight and got smaller?! Well at least you got smaller! I would be super ticked. But muscle weights more than fat right? Or so I tell myself.

1 lb of fat and 1 lb of muscle weigh exactly the same. Muscle is more dense than fat is. That's why you can weigh more but still get smaller.

Along with the scale I use a tape measure. It's my new best friend. Are you taking your measurements as well??

I was just holding water it came off eventually. I have gained a lot of muscle and bone mass too I think since I increased my calcium intake.
