Do ya'll enter in your weight?

I weigh myself once a week now and I enter whether I gain or lose. I have to stay honest with myself whether there is a gain or a loss.

i enter my weight 1 or 2 times a week.

I have a wirelessly connected fitbit Aria scale, whenever I stand on it, it broadcasts my weight to the world.

It reads a little higher than the scale I used previously, and sometimes my graph bumps up and down, but as long as the trend is in the correct direction I am happy.

I post for both. I weigh myself each day to see how foods effect me.

I usually weigh only once every ten days. It seems that my weight loss has a cycle of about ten days. I can tell by how my clothes fit if I am losing, but it may not show four a few days on the scale. I just focus on dong well with my calorie intake and exercise. There is so much to keep track of when losing weight. Measurements make a difference. Weight fluctuates when I workout.

In general, I think daily measurements do more damage than good, since the daily variation can be defeating especially if you are doing all the right things and happen to be retaining water that day. While there still can be some fluctuation, doing a weekly weigh-in on a specified date and time gives you something to look forward to every week (assuming you have been doing what you're supposed to).

I can see the argument though that says less frequent weigh-ins make more sense ( especially if you are nearing the fine-tuning stage.) If the right things for you include putting on muscle, than the weight is a fairly arbitrary measure. Body builders and NFL players are frequently incapable of getting life insurance even with very low body fat because their weight classifies them as obese.

I'm embarrassed to say I used to do that whole eat / drink nothing the night before, but decided it was stupid. As long as I do the same thing that day every week, my progress should show up.

Only marking it down when you lose or maintain seems silly too. Who is the weigh in for anyway? Its not a contest, its your life! There is no prize for losing the most weight. MFP is all about accountability and support, and you are getting neither if you're not being honest and open. Plainly put, not writing it down will not make your pants fit better.

I only enter when I lose..

I have an official weigh in day, and I do enter my weight whether I like it or not. It sucks to see the lbs lost go down a little bit, but it always rights itself. That way I can look back and see if I did something wrong or right that week.

Only when I lose. I fluctuate too much. Would drive myself insane every day. If my calories are excessive and they'd indicate weight gain from that, then I would. But, with a deficit and water fluctuations I see no reason.

Totally agree!
