in Health and Weight Loss
On Wednesday I weighed myself, just because and was down like 2 pounds. Today I did my weekly weigh in and was down less than a pound, should I have changed my weigh in day until Saturday this week considering the sodium and amount of food I had yesterday?

    Don't worry about weighing in this week at all. Try to eat and exercise normally for the next seven days and then weigh in again on your regular day. you don't want a day of feasting to get your weight up and your motivation down.

    I would think yes - to give your body time to recoup. you are more brave than I am! I won't get on the scale until Monday. I tried to be good, but couldn't resist the home made pies that were brought to my house to go with the dinner. :cry:

    What will keep you feeling the most motivated?

    Your weigh in is only for your own reference. If recording your weight a day earlier or later makes you feel better, then do that. You're not going to be graded on it.

    And try to remember, The scale is a fickle friend. Only visit once a week and you can be best buds, but daily visits bring remorse!

    I weigh myself every day and record any new low and ignore any increases. I find that the most motivational and it's the overall downward trend that matters, not your weight on a particular day.

    What BerryH said! I weigh myself daily & record it for future reference. As long as the trend line is headed down, I have no worries!
