So I was at the doc today getting my finger stitched up and a tetnus shot, and they weighed me when I got there. I weighed in for the first time for here on Monday and now its Thursday. I have lost since my initial weigh in, but how often do you weigh in and change your ticker? With water weight, etc how do you know you really lost that much?

Thanks!

    They recommend only weighing in once a week and always at the same time of the day, like first thing in the morning.

    Officially I weigh in once a week, but I've got into the (bad) habit of weighing every day.....but I'll only change my ticker if I've had the same weight for 2 days.

    Hey guys,

    I got told by my trainer at the gym that weighing yourself is probably the worst one to use! Go on inches but if you have to weigh yourself, do it once a fortnight max! Your body flucuates so much and doing it everyday is just unhealthy as you're setting yourself up for bigger falls!

    I weigh in Tuesday mornings. So far (Knock on wood) I haven't weighed in more than that and have resisted temptation.
