What's your weigh- in day and why?

Hi All,

I just thought I would ask you guys this question since my choice had a "motive" behind it.

The day I chose is Friday. Why, you ask? Well, because if I mess up on the weekend, which is my hardest days, I will
have 4 days to do damage control. ☺

    It may be a good idea for me to weigh on Mondays since it may help me to stay on the right track.

    @Naomi0504 Do you fluctuate a lot or is it a daily loss?

    I try to weigh just on Saturday but I usually can't help myself and weigh daily. Sometimes it goes up if I have had a lot of sodium but usually it is a daily loss.

    I weigh in on Mondays because MFP tracks Monday through Sunday as a week. That way I know where I start each week at and how successful the previous week was.

    Everyday at 03:00am (before eating, excreting) and after my final meal (usually between 22:00-23:00)

    Every or every other Monday AM, because MFP goes Mon-Sun. I used to do Friday.

    I weigh in every day, throw it in to a spreadsheet and track my 15 day moving average. If I go up on one day I always look at that average and as long as it's going down I'm happy and know I'm on the right track.

    I weigh everyday. It helps me not freak out over the ups and downs that can happen due to other things (hormones, sodium, etc.) because it's only one day. Helps keep me sane :)

    Sunday mornings only...

    If i weighed myself any more and i would go crazy. It is better to make sure I track calories immediately after i eat.

    But in saying this i kind of wonder if i should be weighing myself more often. I should be losing 1 - 2 lbs a week. Two measurements ago I lost no weight and I was a bit sad :( , but in my last weigh in I lost over 4 lbs! so I am back on track again :) .

    Very good idea! I may have to steal this one. ☺

    I weigh in on Monday mornings, then I set myself up for the week. If I mess up it can be at any time, not just the weekend. Though I dont consider it to be messing up or cheating as yes I want to be fit, but Im human too and my day doesnt revolve around food or exercise, I have a life too lol

    Every day. It keeps me focused and motivated.

    Here is what daily logging looks like:

    I weigh myself everyday but weigh-in on here on Monday. I get on the scale everyday to see how I am doing. I do this because I don't want it to be a big event just a daily check in. I look at the overall picture not the daily changes.

    I choose Sunday because I feel this signifies the end of a week and I find it stops me from having cheat days as I am not likely to cheat on weekdays and I would not want to jepoardise any weight loss I would have achieved throughout the week on a Saturday before my weigh in. Now I only cheat on special occasions or when I go out to drink with friends :)

    When I am actively trying to lose, I can't seem to help myself -- I tend to want to weigh in at least once every day. However, I am finding that when the scale doesn't say what I want it to (or think it should say), I get down. Starting this week, I'm really trying to stay away from checking my weight daily.

    I'm thinking Fridays seem like a good check-in day; if the result is disappointing, I'll have two full days to reverse the damage :D
