weigh yourself!!!

I weigh myself once a week on Sat morning

I weigh daily: in the morning, post workout, and no clothes. I don't see a problem with weighing daily as long as you can handle the fact that weight loss is not linear. If you're doing things right, the trend will be down.

I will not check bazillion of threads just to get a simple answer. If you don't like it, don't answer.

The answer you seek has been given a bazillion times before. Just look for these threads and you will have all the reading material you want rather than waiting on responses to your standard thread.

How does it harm you if she asks a question that has been answered before? Why attack her for that?

Hi, I would like to know how often and what time during the day do you weigh yourself? I weigh myself every time I go to the gym (5-6 times a week). I just can't help!

In the morning after I go to the restroom, every day. I log my weight and monitor what it's doing.

Usually I weigh myself once a week so I don't get discouraged. That way I'm sure to see results, most weeks anyway.

Good lord, some people are so sensitive.

@steponebyone and everyone else who's getting offended by someone saying to look for the million other threads. Some places have rules in place that you have to make sure something hasn't been posted or asked recently before posting. It clogs up the content for other legitimate, unasked questions and conversations.

Understood. I'm not usually one to comment, but after several of these comments on various posts from this person, I just felt the need to say something. All good though here!

+1 for those nude Saturday mornings after going to the toilet.

This place has rules that say that MFP "explicitly allow members to post questions that have been asked previously by other members".


9. Do Not Post the Same Topic on Multiple Boards or Groups

Please choose the most appropriate board or group for your post and post it once. Posting the same message to multiple boards or multiple groups is a form of spam. Please note that this is NOT a guideline against inadvertently posting a question another member has asked before. We explicitly allow members to post questions that have been asked previously by other members. If you see a member post a topic that you think has been asked before by another member, please respond politely or simply move on. However, the same member cannot ask the same question or post the same topic more than once.

@OP I weigh myself every day, but use a graph to see the trends (so that the little, natural blips don't concern me!)

Since you're weighing yourself often you should log your weight using trendweight or an app like Libra. It averages out the weight over time, this can be helpful with understanding fluctuations. Unfortunately MFP's weight reports don't include this feature.

I weigh myself every 3 or 4 days....but the number never changes. The scale sits on 131 lbs regardless if I eat clean, workout heavy or light , or just chill out for days on end. I guess as long as it isn't going UP I should be happy...lol

Good morning Coley! Actually, I do eat at a deficit, but I think my issue could also be related to my age...I'm twice your age, so it's a little harder to keep my girlish figure now than it was 20 years ago. I don't think I could eat much less, or much cleaner...but I could definitely give up the booze on the weekends, I've always felt that gets in the way of my success. On good days I just tell myself that at 46 I'm pretty awesome, and probably at the size God wants me to be anyways....Love the edit button! Might I add that I had lost 70 lbs until the last two years when I plateau'd at 130-131.... xo

You should weigh yourself at the same time of day, preferably in the morning before you eat. Only weigh yourself every week or so, since you weight can fluctuate often.

In my experience, forums that forbid asking questions or creating topics that have been asked before and "to utilize the search feature" are a ghost town.

This forum would certainly be dead if people couldn't ask questions or post topics that had been asked before.

As an aside, it is apparently against the rules to point out that something is against the rules. Which makes me pointing this out also against the rules, and so on and so on until the universe implodes.


OP, I weigh every morning, without clothes on, after going to the bathroom.
