    For discussion Team Slimsons....

    What day do you weigh in and why that particular day?

    Do you weigh yourself once a week or more frequently and what are your reasons?

    I will go first to answer my questions. I am always looking for insight on this process as I have succeeded and failed many times.

    I weigh in on Friday morning because that takes the anxiety out of food choices on the weekend when we are in more social situations. Plus it gives me four days to undo any poor choices I made.

    I usually weigh only once a week so that the normal fluctuations don't discourage me if I am working hard and don't see the results. Some weeks though I can't help myself and will weigh multiple days. Especially if it feels like my body is not responding to my efforts.

    I started a new medication and I am retaining water I think or something. I don’t know. I’ve been eating very carefully aside from one day a week. I am so discouraged.

    I weigh in Sunday. Because that is a more relaxing day for me and it just works best for me.

    I normally weigh myself 2 times a week. Just like to know where i am half way through the week. It probably doesnt make any difference. So its probably just in my mind. This is the first week I plan on weighing myself just once

    I weigh myself on Sunday because I am able to sleep in on the weekends and I usually have a good loss after a full night's sleep.

    I've been weighing myself every day but I'm considering dialing it back to once a week because it is demoralizing when I gain and I've been having a lot of daily fluctuations.

    @caloricus I chose Saturdays and it lines up with typical weigh in for my weightlifting meets since I would have to weigh in on Saturday before the meet anyway, however I have been thinking about changing it to Friday so that I have a day's heads up.
    I do also weigh myself daily and why I do that is so that I can see if a particular food or amount of food may have overdone it, but the trick is to realize that there is fluctuations and you do need to take it with a grain of salt, but doing it daily can give you some daily feedback, but it's not something you should probably do if you can't separate yourself from the fluctuations.

    @Kin59vara That was me Wednesday. I had a challenging day at work and someone offered me chips which I wanted to stress eat so bad but I remained fasted as scheduled because at the end of the day, I can control myself. I am not going to let old habits come back, which is what I have found happens when I loosen the reigns, decades of bad habits for me aren't gone, even after nearly 3 years and I find that I must remain diligent if I am going to reach my goals and stay healthy, and that has really been a hard realization lately.

    I have logged my intended dinner already since I am familiar with the menu. Allowing a glass of wine. So I hope to adjust accordingly the rest of the day. 🤞

    @RetroJoe28 You can also try adjusting your intake and changing up the food or kind of exercise you do, our bodies adjust and then we need to adjust again.

    Happy Valentines day Everyone!

    @AB0215 Made me think of a question for everyone:

    Is anyone else afraid that old habits will creep back in?

    I know myself, I do well with craving most of the time. But once in awhile I will be grocery shopping and I think Wow! those potato chips look so good. But I resist. I also used to drink 3-4 cans a day of Pepsi. (Now I drink mainly water and 1 20 oz bottle pf powerade zero.) I was tempted the other day and i looked at the sugar and carbs. That was enough to curb my craving. I was always more of a snacker. But I have just found healthier alternatives. But there is always that fear that I will go back to the way I used to. Ive come to far for that.

    I'm like so irritated I'm about to loose it! I even fasted 2 days this week! I'm not sure this is even worth it! It's just making me hate myself even more then I did! They say the hardest part of any transformation is deciding to do it and actually doing it but what about when you do that and nothing freaking happens! I constantly have to think about food. where I'm going how long will I be gone do I need to pack a meal cause u can't just stop anywhere and grab something. It's all I do and all I think about is this and then when nothing happens it just seems like a waste of effort! I know no effort is ever wasted and I know any loss is still a loss. I apologize for the venting I'm just so frustrated with all of it!😭

    @satchel2008 I have been where you are and still am! This is a lifestyle change that is really difficult! I’ve been here since 2017 and am still having a hard time not eating the way I use to. Hang in there the results are worth it.
