daily weigh ins v weekly weigh ins

Weekly, because your weight fluctuates throughout the week due to water weight. Also, you could find one day you've lost a pound, and the next day you've put on two. It can leave you feeling disappointed and put you off. But that's just me!

The water weight thing has me really frustrated, so I am going to start weighing weekly... I get tempted to weigh daily, but need to not become obsessed with it. That is a way that you can become to focused on the number and not the goal, which is to be healthy. I went from 156.0 to 159.8 in one day and that was after an hour and a half of tennis and sticking really well to my calories, so I was really frustrated and ready to give up, so now, I am only going to weigh once a week, the same day and time.

That is a really good idea!! I already find myself going to the scale every time I step into my bathroom.

I'm horrible. I weigh in daily and it is frustrating. Maybe its time to hide the scale!

Weekly... I usually do a check in mid week, but I learned not to do it daily becuase it does fluctuate SO much....

Used to be several times a day. But now I do it Monday mornings.

I weight myself in daily, but it's really not something that gets to me. I like to see how workouts, my eating, and other factors contribute as a whole to fluctuations in my weight. I only record when I'm a certain weight for a few consecutive days.

I do daily weigh ins and then average them to see my real weight loss. I also look at monthly trends.

I excel.... 'nuff said

To keep myself from weighing in everyday I put my scale up. I put it up on a high shelf that I actully have to work to get it out. it works for me but right now I am weighing in three times a weeks but only because I'm doing a program that I have to go in to a office and weight in three times a week. The only time I ever gain is if I eat beef for dinner the nit before I weight in.

I try and log weekly, but I weigh in every few days just to see how I'm doing.

I weigh weekly because of the fluctuation thing, but also because once I weigh in on Monday mornings I can close the door on the last week. Whatever happened is done, I have my result and I can concentrate on the next week, the next goal.

I weigh daily just out of habit and to account for my sins. I usually log my weight about every 7-10 days. This month, I logged in the days I was leveling up the 30DS and then the end of the 30 day cycle (today). I measure every time I log my weight into MFP, too. I also try to take photos.

Yes, I am one of those people that even though I am fitting into pants I could not even close 2 months ago and I feel so much better...I need the affirmations in a photo montage. So when I feel like I keep losing and gaining that same 1/2 inch, I can see my stomach is getting flatter and my legs are more toned and my arms are less wing-like.

I have been weighing in daily, in the mornings. There is a "get active" challenge going on at work where we have to record our stats every day. What seems to be working for me so far, is that I will record a loss, but if I gain, I'll record an even weight that day and see what it is the next day. If it is still a gain the next day, then I record the gain. That seems to be offsetting the fluctuations pretty well, though I wish we could do weekly for that challenge :-/.

As far as MFP, I'm making myself only record once a week, and that is the guage I am using for my personal goal rewards and the true measure of where I am.

I admit to pulling out the scale most mornings, just because it interests me. I only "count" Friday or Saturday morning.

I have at times been obsessive about how much I weigh, but now I'm at a mindset where I know that my weight is going to fluctuate, and that is fine. But, in the same sense, weighing everyday, I KNOW that my weight is fluctuating, so if for some reason (time of month, stress, sodium, quitting coffee and having... ahem, slow digestion for a few days) my weight has fluctuated up during the first half of the week, it makes me understand why come Friday, I have lost nothing when in reality I may have lost some water weight, I picked up at the beginning of the week.

I realize weighing everyday can be a frustration, but if you can look at it as a tool to understanding how your body reacts and functions, it can be very interesting.

I weigh every morning. It does not upset me or anything. If I'm up, I cut back on carbs for the day. I'm maintaining a 200 pound loss so I must stay on top of it or I will gain it all back!!

Yes, I like to know if I need to cut back on something or if I am on track. I don't have the internal control over food that I need to be successful without external cues (logging, weigh-ins, the fit of my clothing, etc.).
