daily weigh-in club

Yesterdays weight-217.4
Todays weight-218.2

okay the battery in my scale is dead. it won't even turn on, just flashes low. not weigh in yesterday or today. hopefully i will be able to run to the store today, but it might not be until tomorrow. i am hoping that was the reason for the 4 pound weight 'gain'.

yes, my scale goes coocoo when its time to change batteries. Usually I'll be up 4.4lbs. EVERYTIME, .. so don't stress, i'm sure its the batteries

I am having a problem with my scales at home. I changed the battery when it went dead and then it only lasted about one month. Maybe I should just buy a new set of scales !!!:grumble: So, the only time I can weigh myself is when I am at the YMCA.

Last night....147.6

By the way, there is a group here for posting daily weight-ins if anyone is interested.

I weigh 170 pounds... Down 7 lbs since joining mfp!!!

Daily weigh ins have know meaning...no significant value. They are minor fluctuations that reflects mostly water weight and not sustainable progress.

Weighing daily helps some people stay on track. Seeing that you lost 0.2 lbs from the previous day is encouraging. You do not typically lose 3 lbs over night. Weighing weekly will show you a bigger number but it is all the same....

Also, for people who enjoy both math and science, we know that weighing in daily does not introduce errors caused by water weight, but rather screens them out. As direct feedback, scale weights are pretty unreliable and useless. It is the aggregate collection of data that increases accuracy in the long run. You might remember such evils as the "line of best fit" from high school math class, and for once, you can use this information in your real life.

The site also has an awesome tool which helps you log daily weights. After five days, the math kicks in and is able to show you more accurately what is going on with your weight. Let me know what you all think... I use it every morning!

I'm in...for now at least! I'm Tatiana. And I was a successful weight loss story. I lost half my body weight a number of years ago. 70 pounds. But in the past 8 months, I gained 31 pounds. Part of it was due to medication changes, but I also started having unremitting fatigue. And stopped exercising. And started doing what I do when I don't exercise...eating sugar and flour to keep my energy up. BUT. I recently figured out the cause of my fatigue...with some help from my doctor...and I'm feeling better. And the weight is starting to creep downward. But I have to help it along.

I like daily weigh-ins because, as a former obese person, I find that I always need to "keep an eye" on what my body is doing...or it will run away from me. Just like looking in the mirror every morning. You don't always look exactly the same, but its good to make sure you don't have something growing on your face.

This morning? I was 136.
Yesterday. 135.6

sweet110, welcome to the thead. I feel the same way when it comes to daily weighing. I would love to have my weight in the 130s. Good job.

I am holding steady. To the ounce.

Thanks for the welcome! Yeah...I'm 4'11". So being in the 130's isn't as good as it sounds! But its clearly better than being in the 170s, which was my heaviest weight.

Yesterday: 190.8
Today: 188.00(-2.4)

Hi! New to this thread...

My name's Chris, I am 34, married and we have one awesome little baby called Bradley, he is 8 months old. I work 9 - 5 in an office doing a pretty mudane job. I love cycling, astronomy/science, reading and I am a pretty major geek!

I weigh myself everyday and have done since the start of this journey, I really feel it helps me to see what my body is doing and how my weight loss is progressing over time. I tend to lose a bit, bounce around for a couple of lbs, lose a bit more, bounce around, plateau, bounce around, lose a bit... And that's pretty much how it goes, but at least it's going in the right direction. I try not to let the ups get to me and just use them to motivate myself when I am in the gym or more importantly to work a bit harder when I am out on my bike.

Nice to meet everybody, feel free to friend request if you would like some motivation.

Chris

I DONT GET IT! last night when I went to bed I weighed 126.8 and this morning I was at 126.0.... I usually lose 2lbs overnight! Why did i lose just .8?!

Hey! I was wanting to join you guys if I could? I find checking in daily really helps me stay on track better then not.
I have a lot to go and I seem to go up and down from day to day but weekly it still goes down.

Also I hate to admit it but I feel if I don't start sharing with others I will fall off the wagon and quit again.
I really want to stick to it this time!

So.. Joining in!
