What day do you weigh in?

    I record my weight on a Monday. I can totally understand why a lot people might do theirs on a Friday but I decided to start taking care of myself on a Monday and I suspect I'll continue to do so. I weigh as soon as I get up.

    I weigh myself multiple times a day. I know this is unhealthy but I can't seem to stop. I didn't think it had an impact on my moods but the other night I came home and I had gone up and I was so angry. of course my boyfriend was trying to talk me down and pointed out that there are hormonal reasons for your body weighing more (of course his survival skills sensed my time of the month before I had) but I couldn't help being just so upset... really.. now I think about it, so stupid, weighing myself the day after my weigh in, in the evening, after I'd eaten. What had I expected, crazy premenstrual cow.

    I weigh in every saturday morning, butt nekid on the Wii...!!

    I do this because I work at a desk all week so I'm pretty good with my diet & excersise during the week and I like to have a 'day off' from being too healthy with food... so I work my but off all week and saturday I weigh in in the morning, during the day I relax from healthy eating and if I relax tooo much, at least I have the rest of the week to burn it off again...

    Getting into the rythm and notion of diet and exercise, is mostly about re-training your brain first...thats why I choose saturday also, because its a feel good day, the day or night you are most likey to eat and drink all your calories... it just works for me..

    I started out weighing in every Monday morning.
    Then I switched it to either Friday or Sat mornings. Figured I could get one last burn in before the bad eating day I usually have on Saturday. (Sat I'm always out and about with the family, it's our only day together with my husband and the kids, so I tend to skip meals, have later lunches or dinners etc).
    But I do sneak a peak a few times a week, I just dont log it!

    I weigh in on Wednesdays, but I think as of today I'm going to join the Friday crowd. It makes more sense to weigh in after I've done well eating all week! I do step on the scale every few days though, just to make sure I'm on track. :)

    I weigh in every day and log all losses but no gains. I report my official loss on MFP every Friday morning. This really works well for me because I am always able to catch an upward trend before it gets too far. I also make minor adjustments to my daily diet depending on how I am trending. This works well for me but really is not for everyone.

    Why does this work well for you? I don't get the idea of never reporting a gain. What if your 'loss' on Friday morning is actually a gain for the week? (or do you always lose weight each week?) What if you gain something one day and then lose something the next - what do you log? I've never heard of doing it like this and it intrigues me.

    This week will be my first Friday weigh in.

    I usually do mon or tues but I had a very heavy weekend of food and drink at a friend's birthday and engagement celebration and when I weighed myself today I hadn't lost (hadn't put on either so my "good" days last week must have balanced it out!).

    I am going to be extra careful from now until Friday and hopefully the scale may have moved slightly in the right direction!

    Official weigh in is Saturday morning... unless I know I'm going out on Friday night, then it's Friday morning.

    I like to weight in on Mondays. Just starts the week off right for me. I feel it also keeps me from going crazy on weekends and thus never having the 'doing everything right, but never losing' thing going on. But that's just me.

    I weigh in officially on Tuesday because that's the day of my Weight Watchers meeting, but I am always junping on the scale almost every morning which can be good or bad depending on how it's perceived asnd my reaction to fluctuations whci are normal.

    I weigh in first thing Saturday morning (before my biggest workout of the week), because that was my first weigh-in day on MFP. I've really found no reason to switch from there.

    I know why alot of people weight in on Friday. But I have found if I weigh in on Mondays, I take eating over the weekend alot more serious. Mondays for me.
