Do You Log Gains

For my own personal use I would like to take a poll on who logs gains into MFP and why or why not. I will use this to determine if I should quit logging gains(if it stays on more than 3 days I log it now). Thank-you for your time!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I was keeping it honest by logging my gains!0 -
I don't. I weigh daily so there's a bit of bouncing around . I would log a gain if it lasted for more than three days but so far that hasn't happened. (And I am hoping it won't.)0

Me too. I haven't had a gain last more than four days and it's always been a spike and then a decline. I don't log a loss unless it's consistent over 2 days.0 -
I log whatever my weight is on my normal weigh in day (Monday evenings right now). I don't log any other times I get on the scale (trying to curb my obsession with it) I just don't get upset over a small gain if it happens. I need the consistency and if I find an excuse not to log weight, food, whatever I know it will throw me off track more than seeing a better number on MFP0

I don't weigh on a schedule. I log every time I weigh. What good does it due to not log a gain? Spotting trends should be helpful.0

NO WAY JOSE! I would beat myself up and ruin my motivation. But that's just me.0

I weigh weekly on Monday mornings. That being said, I record whatever the scale says. If it goes up, I can look at my diary and conclude that I didn't stick with it over the weekend and it helps me keep on top of things and pay attention.0

Honestly, I dont log my gains. It discourages me0
-
Never had to but yes I would.0

I weigh in once a week, if i've gained one week and then by my next weigh in I am still heavier than my recorded weight, THEN I will log it. I guess I always hope that the first weigh in was just an off day. Whether or not this is true I don't mind, I feel better about myself when I think that way0

I weigh ever week or so and log my weight.
FYI - I've just returned from a week in SFO, I doubt I lost weight when I was there0 -
I weigh in every Friday morning and whatever the scale says, I log.0
-
Nope. To be fair my gains have been water so far. I don't think I would log any actual gains either.0
-
No. Which is exactly why my weight ticker has been at a stand still for the last few months. I have been going back and forth between the same 4 pounds and it is driving me bananas. :sad:0

I log whatever the scale says every day.
It makes for good review material when looking through my reports.0 -
I log everything, it just helps keep me honest. I weigh everyday even though I know it says you shouldn't. I only react to overall trends but I know if I give myself any loopholes that I will either put off weighing if I know I may not have done very well lately or actually try to convince myself that I'm doing fine when I know I'm not. This way I see the fluctations but at the same time I see if I persist the overall trend is down.0

I log whatever the scale says on my weigh in day (Tuesday morning at the gym). Up, down, steady... whatever. What is the point if you're only logging losses? Does that mean the 15 pounds you pack on over the holidays doesn't count? Of course it counts!0

I weigh daily so I will only log gains if their consistent over the week.0
