Weigh in? and Cheat/Reward days?

Hey just wondering how often everyone weigh's in?(once a week, Once a month ect.) And how often do you allow yourself to have a Cheat/Reward day?

I've been weighing in once a week. Same scale, naked, in the morning after going to the bathroom.

I've only been doing this for three weeks, and twice a month we usually get Chinese food, which I didn't want to give up. I have only gone over my calories a few times, and usually come in around 200 under (net calories) the MFP recommendation. So it's more like a meal than a day for me, and it's basically just something I didn't want to give up in the first place.

I am weighing in weekly on Sundays.

I try to plan rewards that are not related to food. I decided that I am not a dog so I don't need "treats" for doing a good job. I have rewarded myself with things like a new workout dvd, and a fitbit. I also reward myself by increasing the demand I place on my body. I do more!

I do not intentionally have cheat days... I am not on a diet, I am trying to change my lifestyle, attempting and so far succeeding in changing from a more sedentary life with fatter less healthy foods. I have not made any food off limits, I try to eat smaller amounts and am sure to count every bite I take in. I have had a couple of days in the last 3 months that I have definately overeaten but have counted it and said oh well I will do better later!

Good luck!

i have to cheat once a week. i mean, eat whatever i want within reason. just a break from strict clean eating. its good for the body sometimes, it gets into habits and it just jumpstarts you to fluctuate calories. i still exersize on cheat days though. like toda,y my cheat day honestly was so brutal. the rest of the week im going to try to be an angel :S it happens. i waited to long to indulge and went overboard but i ALWAYS get back on track and always maintain. cuz if i be good the rest of the time, im aware that i can have slip ups and still be ok and have cheats and STILL be ok. getting to my goal will take longer but i WILL get there and with my sanity, and i wont slip back into old habits and quit. if we feel deprived we eventualyl quit and gain it all back

i weigh in every week.

as far as cheat days - NOPE!! i allow myself to eat anything i want all the time. i do smaller portions, and make healthy choices in general, but if i really want some nachos, i eat em. i either work them into my caloric allowance, or i just work out that much harder. (usually!!!)

I weigh in every Thursday morning. I don't do cheat days, I just occasionally let myself have a special higher cal meal or snack maybe once a week and even then I try to stay below my goal. I guess birthdays and holidays are my days for that.

I just really hate the term cheat day for some reason. I don't wanna feel like I'm cheating or rewarding myself with food, I'm just trying to live life realistically. Sometimes we're gonna indulge a little.

I weigh myself daily but only log it once a week. I have a cheat day once a week- usually Saturday.

I made it a point never to weigh myself because I know how hard on myself I can be if the numbers don't turn out as expected (despite how good I might be feeling at the time).

I've always gauged myself by how my clothes feel and how healthy I'm feeling. As soon as you're eating healthier, you really can feel when you're off track. It seems like it would be fair to weigh yourself once a week or once every two weeks. Anything more and you're not going to get an accurate read since its only natural for things to fluctuate a little. Also, your body will naturally go through plateaus while its adjusting to your new, lower weight...it actually can kick start things if you change up whatever routine you may have gotten used to by having what most people call a "cheat day". A healthier way to do this is to also change your exercise routine instead (ex. if you don't normally work out much, to amp it up a little)

Its better to do what the woman above does and allow yourself the same things you would have on a cheat day, just in moderation -- its all about making life changes and not just a passing diet where you're completely restricting yourself from foods you like, only saving them for cheat days.

My boys & I have movie night on Fridays so I treat myself to a nice big brownie or something similar. However, I still try to keep everything within my limits. I weigh most days (naked in the morning like most everyone else) but only record once or twice a week. I have only gone over a few days since starting, and those were when I travel (need snacks to stay awake) and my birthday.

I weigh myself every Monday. Because on the weekend when I want to eat really bad stuff, I think of how it will react on the scales on Monday. It's actually great motivation not to go off track on the weekends.

As for cheat days, nope. But I treat myself to a yummy cereal like 'Just Right' on Sunday mornings. I love love love cereal.

Weigh in daily, every morning after going to the bathroom on same scale because I want to know my weekly trends. It's easier to see what I did right with sudden dips and wrong with rises. But, I track my weekly eight loss figures so I know my weekly losses. I don't have cheat days, per se, I just exercise more on the days I want to eat more.

I weigh my self when ever I get a chance ( the nurses office at work. I know that ones pretty accurate. Cheat days I really don't plan those, they end up the family meals when the rest of my family comes over.

I have become addicted to weighing myself. Probably about once a day, up from once a week like two weeks ago! I think it's because I'm around halfway to my goal weight. But only log it on Saturdays/whenever I finish a level of 30 Day Shred, which I am currently doing.
And I had a mega cheat day yesterday - didn't log any of my food. That was my first since I started trying to lose weight on January 1st. But I have random cheat meals every now and then, probably about once a week.

Absolutely love this!!

I weigh myself twice a week (and log it twice a week) and I let myself have chocolate every Sunday, because that's the only unhealthy food I crave like crazy

I weigh once a day, but weigh in officially once a week.

I don't have a cheat or reward day. If I want something, I go for it.
