Looking for buddies who weigh in every day

I do what's best for me and weighing every single day is what works for me. I see the trend instead of focusing on a superficial number once a week. The trend is the most important thing. Do what is in YOUR best interest and if what's recommended doesn't work for you, leave it behind you

I weigh myself daily, but I only log it weekly. I want my finger on the pulse but I don't get hung up on the daily grind. As Virkati said, knowing your trend is what is the most important part. That said, I also log a lot of other things on a weekly basis too. Sometimes the Non-Scale Victories give more of a fist pump than dropping a pound on the scale. They also don't detract when my weight goes up a tad. I will trade a few pounds of weight on the scale with losing an inch of my hips/waist every day of the week.

Feel free to add me. I weight everyday if theres a loss I log it. I'm pretty good about my diary. Plus i cook alot so Im always making lightened versions of my old favs.

Under Settings, click on "Automatic News Feed Updates". You can turn off notifications on things you don't want to show up on your newsfeed. I've got it turned off for losing weight, when I add friends, comment on other friends posts, etc. It's easy enough to turn it back on that I will do that when I know I've got a new, honest-to-goodness weight loss low that I want to share with my MFP friends.

I like weighing in every day because it keeps me on the right path and I'm not one to freak out if it goes up a bit, but Trendweight really does help keep everything in perspective. Feel free to add me![/quote]

Thanks! I actually found it by just looking at settings. But I asked because I thought I'd already edited my settings, but couldn't remember seeing that as an option.

I will!

I weigh in every day - keeps me accountable

I do weigh myself everyday, although most wont recommend it, I log it every morning (not on mfp), even if I have gained a little bit, lol... I have noticed a pattern developing, where I will not loose anything for at least 3 days and then loose a pound or sometimes more the next day. Recently I seem to loose only on the weekend.....I have no idea why.

Same here. It keeps me motivated and on track. Maybe it's not great for some but if it works for us then embrace it!

I have seen similar trends. I go up a bit. Then flat line. Go back down. Go back up a bit. Then it drops a pound or three past my last low.

I weigh every day but log it only once a week on mfp. I keep a calendar and write the number down. Then if I get discouraged, I refer to a calendar from 3 months ago....and it helps me keep my head in the game. I log here every day...so you may add me if you like.

I log my weight every day unless I'm out of town (no access to scales). I want to see if/when my weight "yo-yo's" & determine why that might be happening (which for me is usually related to my post-meal blood sugars getting too high).

I also update my food diary (which is public) every day, even if I'm out of town.
