Days Of The Week

Why do you think it matters?

You can weigh any day you like, or every day, or every other day, or any other pattern that makes sense for your situation. You've been at this a while, presumably you've established some sort of routine. If you're bouncing from strategy to strategy you'll never make any progress.

Whatever works for you. Every Monday, every Wednesday, everyday.

Whatever you do just try to keep it consistent.

If you really want to be a little more accurate, you could weigh everyday and take an average every week, since weight fluctuates so much during the week. Or just take measurements

I weigh myself daily, But only updated my MFP every 5 pounds once i was sure i was consistently under the next 5 pounds down for more thn a few days-week. For me it had a few benefits. It helped me to stop panicking, I didnt ever have to be like yay im 150 pounds now! -update MFP- and then the next day im 152 and feel awful. That way mentally i was always slightly heavier thn i was, Which gave me some mental wiggle room.

After some time i had a good view of how long it took me consistently to lose 5 pounds. Was relatively linear, Where as weekly/daily weigh ins werent. It was helpful to learn my body weighing daily so scale fluctuation didnt panick me. Mental peace there.

And i avoided spamming peoples homepages with "jayde has lost 1 pound!" And avoided ever havign to put my weight back up. That sucks and is so disheartening lol.

Edited to add: I have heard of a few people who prefer weighing on mondays because it holds them accountable for their weekend "bad" foods and higher calories. IT could also have the opposit effect if you panick easily, Which by your posts you seem to. Maybe friday works beter for you, IF you tend to panick when your scale goes up. But that may also lead to you feeling great about your great week and low weight, And then going off and eating more on your weekend. Its really all on you to decide. The day doesnt matter. As i said i weigh daily

I weigh myself Sunday mornings because it is quiet and I don't forget. What day I weigh myself doesn't make me lose weight. A calorie deficit makes me lose weight.
I probably wouldn't compare Sunday one week to Tuesday the next and Friday the next week. Weigh daily and understand fluctuations or pick a day to weigh in regularly and consistently.

You might use something like trendweight, weightgrapher or happyscale to track your weight.

Sunday it is, then!

I weigh in on Sundays to keep me 'honest' on Saturdays. It's the one day that I'm likeliest to go off the rails. Knowing that the scale is looming helps me stay on track.

I only weigh myself when I'm at home and have access to my scale.

I just think myself weighing on Sunday makes sense because it is the start of the week for me.

You could weigh Sunday AND Monday just to be sure.... Or weigh for a month on Sundays, then switch to a month of Monday weigh ins and see if it makes a difference to weight loss.

Weighing once a month it’s hard to see any trends. Every week you see more of a trend & stay on top of your weight more.

Where did I say once a month?
I said weigh for a month on Sundays, then for a month on Mondays.

I meant it is hard to stay on track weighing once a month

I never said to weigh once a month.
There are multiple Sundays and Mondays in a month.
