    Want to hear something funny? I do not weight myself anymore. The scale seems to run my life so at the age of 58 I am done. I weighed myself when I first started and I will not weight myself for about three to four months, or maybe never. I am going to go by my clothes. Have you ever heard of the classes thin with in? What they usually say is: If you are going to start a diet Monday what would you do all weekend. Answer that one, its pretty interesting. I look beautiful now: God Bless

    I am in....I have 6 weeks to reach my goal.... I have 6 lbs to lose.... I am really good at motivating others and have been working on weight loss for the last 1.5 years and have lost 50lbs....missing the 6lbs to finally achieve my goal...and I want to tone and firm things up.

    I am eating 1200 calories a day and doing the 30 Day Shred.

    What have you been doing? Wat is your goal?

    I weigh myself everyday.... I like to see the fluctuations and how my body reacts on a daily basis...but I only rrecord my new lowest weight after keeping itt for a few days.... but you have to be able to handle gains and stuff..

    I would be interested! I have started weighing myself every wednesday as I got a little obsessed with weighing myself everyday and getting dissapointed by the 100 gram gains that my body had occasionally.

    If I workout I eat more... either half or all of my exercise calories...I am only 5'2 and it is what MFP suggests I consume and what has worked for me to lose 50lbs.... and hopefully my last 6lbs

    The first time I weighed myself before starting MFP was on a Wednesday afternoon. SOOOOOOO that's when I weigh myself each week. Actually, I weigh myself every day, but only enter my weight on Wednesday afternoons. I am always about 2 pounds less in the morning, but I want my recorded weight to be in the afternoon, fully clothed. But that's just me! Whenever you weigh, the important thing is that you are losing weight, feeling better in your clothes, and getting healthy!

    I weigh in Thursday mornings, and this is when I "check-in" on MFP. I also get weighed and recorded on Monday nights at my TOPS meeting. I thought about changing my MFP weigh-in to Mondays as well, but I decided I like having two weigh-in days because it tends to keep me in check all week.

    well thank you :)
    i actually used to weigh 230-245 pounds somewhere in there but i got really motivated and went on a diet, i started out by just cutting out fast food, junk food, and soda but ive been modifying my diet as i go along
    also ive been hitting the gym as much as possible for a while now. other then that there alot of specifics but thats the main idea

    I'm down.

    Internet support group go!

    I curretnly have goals of working our regularly and eating the right amount of calories most of the time but my REAL challenge goals are no beer till Turkey Day, then none again till 12/15 when I'm going to a brewery.
    Then none again till maybe xmas where I shall feast on quails and IPAs!!!


    These short periods without beer may seem like nothing, but it's really something to me. I love beer so much and it hinders my weights loss. so the breaks help.

    As for weighing in...
    Monday's seems reasonable

    I reccently decided to move my weigh in day from a Tuesday to a Wednesday. I lift weights on Mondays and find my body retains water after a weight session (I'm always up about 1/2 a lb. I know this because I weigh myself nearly every day). It doesn't really matter what day you choose to weigh but make sure it's the same time of day. Mornings are best before eating and after going to the bathroom
