    Is there a protocol to how we should weigh in. I noticed my weights are very different before and after exercise. Being consistent in how you weigh yourself would be best, but wondering if there was a criteria for the group to weighing in I didn’t know about. Thanks in advance💫

    @BlissfulK
    I would personally recommend that you weigh yourself at the same time under the same conditions(same time, scale, place, etc.) each week.

    For example, if you tend to weigh yourself first thing on a Saturday morning after using the bathroom, then do that each week. If you weigh yourself after going to the gym/working out, do that each week. Some people even weigh themselves at the end of the day every week. You'll see more severe losses/gains if you weigh yourself before a workout one week, then after one the next week. It will bump up again when you weigh yourself before a workout the next week. Whichever time you choose to weigh yourself, keep that time consistent each week, it will give you a better view of how well you are progressing, because added food/water/etc. can really impact how that scale looks at several different points in the day.

    I wouldn't recommend weighing yourself before and after a workout because the only thing you will see is how much water your body lost during your workout. I find weighing once a day is the max I will do, as I know any food/drink I have after I weigh is only going to increase the number I see on the scale and not positively help my mindset.

    @cmhubbard92

    This is the first time I did it out of curiosity. Since there was a noticeable difference. I was wondering if it would be better to do weigh ins after workouts for true weight? I’ll decide how I’ll weigh in and keep it consistent. Thank you for your feedback ☺️

    @BlissfulK I would just pick any time you know can and will be a time that you can consistently weigh in. You'll never have a "true" weight because so many things factor into it (food, water, processing waste, hormones, water retention, etc.) Whatever weight you choose to go with, just keep that time regular and it will give you the best view of your progress :)

    For me first thing in the morning is best, and I *try* to log daily because I like to see trends like what my weight does during ovulation vs menstruation, how certain workouts affect my weight the next day(like a heavy strength workout or a really long hike) and when I'm 100% tracking food, see how certain foods affect me. I use libra(on android, there's happy scale on iphone) to track my weight loss and trends. I'm kinda a nerd 🤓

    I’m a nerd too! Cheers to nerds🤓

    I understand what you’re saying, I guess I meant the closest to “dry” weight without excess water retention. Either way consistency is the key as you pointed out. I definitely want to try daily tracking when more free time opens up. That’ll be fun to pick up on trends😊

    Sunday 5/29
    Tracked: no
    Under: no
    Exercise: yes, 35min walk with Dill🥒

    I am going to try getting back into the MUAC. I ended up getting an awful cold (chest congestion, coughing, etc) that put me back from getting back to the gym and had me out of work for a few days. Some symptoms are lingering, but I feel well enough to ease back into things. I have to go to the gym later this morning, as they've got the road closed off for the parade which is in an hour or two. :)

    Glad to be back home and out of the car. DC holiday traffic was ugly. 😕 Will be very good to get back into my normal routine and eat some normal food. Desperately in need of vegetables.

    Monday 5/30
    Tracked: no
    Under: no
    Exercise: yes, 30 minutes arc trainer

    I probably was under calories for the day despite making pretty good food choices today. I also managed to get back in the gym even though it was later than I planned. The road was closed longer than I expected, as there was a road race after the parade and ceremony ended.

    @mooreshelly09 I hear that! After brunch two days in a row and chicken wings for dinner I knew it was going to be ugly. I did step on yesterday just to see how bad. 🥺🥺 Hoping it's mostly carb/water weight that will fall off by Friday. 🤞 Glad you had a good time.

    @DaffyGirl88 Definitely, but oh so worth it 🤣 Fingers crossed for a Friday loss for the both of us!
