I'm just wondering how often people are doing their weigh in's and logging weight loss. Also, if you are losing weight do you log it right away or wait a day or two to see if you are maintaining or continuing to lose weight. Just curious....

    I only weigh in once a week, Sat a.m and log it and don't think about it till the next week when it starts all over again. I don't need to see (and get upset) over the daily ups & downs.

    I agree with airangel59, I weigh Sat mornings also, right before my workout...that usually gives me a extra push!

    I weigh myself everyday, sometimes 2 or 3 times (bad habbit) ... but I only log my Thursday morning weight. And I log it no matter if I was a pound less or more the day before.

    Once per week. It is the second thing I do every Sat. morning. The first thing I do is pee.

    I weigh myself every Saturday morning right after I get up. I make sure I keep the same type of variables as the week before, I.E. the clothes you wear when you weigh yourself, how much you have to pee, did you just eat, same time as last week, etcetc.

    I also log my weight as it shows up on that Saturday morning. Personally, I just don't understand the logic of "waiting to see if it sticks" because if it doesn't stick...you'll know by the next time you have a scheduled weigh in. That's why you have scheduled ones.

    Personally, I weigh daily (though I realize that fluctuations happen and don't get bent out of shape over those). I only log new lows unless a plateau stays for a while.... since I have done that, I have logged an increase only once... and then the next drop happened. The best way I would say would be to log once per week at a particular time of the day... and log whatever it shows... BUT, to each his own on this topic; as long as what you are doing is demonstrating accurate progress. Best wishes on your excitng journey.

    I only weigh in once a week. Every Friday after I get a good workout in. Then I put the scale away so I don't see it until that next friday.

    I usually weigh every morning (can't help it, I'm excited to see the scale going down!), but only log my weight on Sundays.

    I weigh and log every time I go to the gym. I'm more interested in seeing the progression over time, and not the individual data points -- even if it goes up from one visit to the next, as long as the general trend line is going down, it doesn't bother me.

    I used to weigh at home in the morning. But I have issues trusting scales, and figured the one at the gym would be more reliable -- it's one of the balance beam scales -- so I stopped weighing at home.

    Weigh every day because I like to know! It doesn't change my calorie intake for that day though. I only "weigh-in" to MFP once a week though to make sure the loss is real!
