I went over calories but exercised and tracked. Still at 1 pass day. I weigh every day but am not sure why 😆7

Exercised? Yes 30 mins walk but did over 7000 steps for the day
Calories? Yes
Tracked? Yes
I weigh every day multiple times per day to get a feel of my body weigh throughout the day and then at night to see how the morning will look, cuz i usually do my exercise first thing in the morning7 -
While I was in Arizona during the winter, I did not have a scale. I tracked my intake and output. Most days, I recorded a intake below my maintenance calorie limit. My activity level was much higher in AZ than it is when I work in my office near Chicago, IL. Over the six months in AZ, I lost 15 pounds.
Now that I am back home, I weigh myself every Saturday morning.
Today's UAC report card:
Tracking: good
Exercise: over 90 minutes of outside activity walking and chores
Calories: well under my limit7 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. I spent a total of 3 hours gardening (weeding and trimming). Today was the first day that it was not either raining or humid this month, and the tipping point for weeds in our yard was earlier this week. I only got the front yard done, but that is all neighbors and passers by can see! I also took a 20 minute walk.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Pass days used: 2/3
Since starting on MFP in May, I have been weighing myself once per week. On Wednesdays -- I call them "Wednesday Weigh Ins." Getting on the scale every day is too frustrating. The daily fluctuations end up discouraging me instead of motivating me.

@Mrs_Hoffer – Congratulations on your growing family! I can’t believe from your photos that you are a great-grandmother.
@stella7x7 – Walking the dog is exercise!
@NJPate – Congratulations on your weight loss! You are moving in the right direction!

Yes x 3 today and yesterday.
I have a difficult relationship with the scale. I feel like I have a healthier relationship with my body when I'm not focused on a number (using the way my clothes fit as my guide), but I also know that I gain weight when I stop paying attention. Right now I'm weighing in once a week. I'm not sure that's sustainable--I stress out about the natural fluctuations in my weight--so I may have to make this a monthly check, rather than weekly.8 -
Yes x 3.
I weigh every day, sometimes a couple times a day. I may have OCD though...

Yes, I weigh everyday. It’s great accountability for me and helps me quickly adjust if the number starts climbing

Exercised? Yes. It wasn't what I was hoping for but I got 45 minutes of a leisurely and short bike ride. I rousted my daughter from her bed at 4:30 this morning and made her ride with my sister and I. My daughter is SMI and her issues have proven over the past three years to be medication resistant. One of her current treatment procedures is pretty intense, causing memory loss and some cognition issues. Her self-confidence is shot to hell, she is out of shape, and this was her first ride "on the open road" (so to speak), as I've been having her practice in the parking lot of the office building next door. Within a mile, she had an anxiety attack and was having difficulty catching her breath. She stuck it out for another mile, but then we had to turn back (after giving her time to calm herself) or risk having her pass out on the side of the road. So we got 4 miles in total and she says she'll try it again (big, big win right there). I plan to go out by myself tomorrow morning for at least 20 miles. (We're under an extreme heat advisory here in AZ so, honestly, if I don't drag myself out of bed by 4:30 or so, not much is going to happen in the way of exercise tomorrow). LOL
Within calorie goals? Oh, dear, I don't even think I was in the same state. Stress, frustration, my own anxieties, all culminated in a terrible day of eating.
Tracked everything? I did. And, le sigh... I was right... my calories were *not* even in the same state as my goal.
I weigh everyday, first thing in the morning. I weigh 3-5 times, with a 15-30 second break in between to let the scale sort of reset. Then I take an average. It was going down this week. It will be up tomorrow. But I'll do my best to get my head on straight and get back to what I know I need to do.7 -
Yes x 3 today.
When I lost my initial 30 lbs I weighed and logged my weight every single day. This time I'm much less dedicated to weighing, not too sure why though!7 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES, Mowed for about 45 minutes and did some gardening for another half hour or so.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES7 -
Yes x 37

Yesterday was Friday - pass day. So I’m 3 for the month. Today was a 3 YES day.7
-
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? no ... stopped after I was over
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? no
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes- Treadmill: 30 min / 1.64 mi
- Chest & Tricep WO (dumbbells) + crunches
- Pool
I had to take my first pass day for the month as we went out for sushi and normally I have a sashimi salad and a couple of seared albacore nigiri to minimize the amount of rice consumed. But this evening I went with all nigiri and had one calorie bomb appetizer involving avocado and tempura.
For most of my weight loss I weighed every Friday to see where I was before the weekend as it helped decide what restaurant to go to on Saturday. In April I did the daily weighing which frustrated me too much so in May I went back to once a week. However this month I'm back to daily because I'm eating more with the recomp and I want to make sure I'm not gaining. I also am checking to see if there are any noticeable patterns. I'm not frustrated this month even though there are times I am lower when I don't expect to be and higher when I expect not to be.

I weigh myself daily & use Weight Guru, Happy Scale, & My Net Diary. I’ve done this since 2016 daily, so I don’t get upset by ups or dejected by downs anymore. I only look at monthly averages & my 10-day trend weight!

Tracking – yes

I weigh every day (when I’m at home) and use the Libra app to see the trend. I don’t tend to get daily fluctuations (post menopause) and I like to keep an eye on the trend.
I know that holidays will cause temporary weight gain and I like to make sure I get rid of it when I get home. I know that in the past it has been holiday weight gain that was my problem: 3 or 4 pounds gain each time I went away soon added up to 12, 14 lbs over a year.8 -

Three yeses today for me.
I’ve come to believe that there is no right or wrong answer for when one should weigh or not. Ultimately, what is most important it that the decision supports ones goals.
For me, my weighing is directly correlated to my attitude. If I am not weighing, then I am avoiding, which means healthy choices are not being made. So for me, pushing myself to weigh daily is beneficial.

Pass day 3 due to the pizza at my friend’s house. We had a few girls get together to watch fight night (one of our team was fighting). I didn’t even log out because I knew I was over. I did get good exercise in with walking to and from morning training which involved coaching kids and some good take down drills before a tough rolling session.
I aim to weigh daily and log my weight because it helps me see fluctuations which will affect what I will weigh on competition days and whether I will make the weight I want to or not. I’ll only be able to predict how hormones etc affect my weight if I have an accurate record to work from. I expect fluctuations but when the increase gets too high over a few days it does motivate me to be stricter about my food.
I definitely think that the frequency of weighing yourself depends on lots of factors but I’m happy to have found what works for me.5
