Default Re: How often do you weigh in?

Once in the morning to "punch in" on my weight loss focus for the day. Once at night before bed to get an idea of what I can expect the next day. I'm usually 2-3 pounds over the next morning's weigh in.

This subject is what I call "to each their own" issue.

Default Re: How often do you weigh in?

i weigh in the morning when i can remember. i pay closer attention to it when i am up a couple pounds. when i lose 'em, i quit weighing every day. it's important to stay within that 5 pound range of goal as Dr. A mentions on page 225 and other places in the book.

Default Re: How often do you weigh in?

Once a day every day for the last year (unless I'm out of town) BUT I only get to write it down in my journal or my signature on here once a week on Tuesday which is my "official" weigh day.

This really helps me keep track and adjust in between "official" weigh days, but keeps me from obsessing TOO much about it.

Default Re: How often do you weigh in?

I only do it once a week.
I do it once a week because my weight changes so much it was getting discouraging and depressing for me to see it daily. That's just me though

Default Re: How often do you weigh in?

I actually voted once a week. But I got new scales yesterday and they are so pretty and ACCURATE that I'm changing to once a day. I think it will keep me better focused... I've had thoughts of straying lately.

Default Re: How often do you weigh in?

I only weigh once a week. Any more than that and I'm just driving myself crazy. I went a whole month without weighing and it was the best month I've had so far! I go in spurts where I gain muscle/lose fat but the scale shows no change, so I like to rely on measurements when the scale is being a dork.

Default Re: How often do you weigh in?

I need to stop relying on the scale so much too. This morning it showed a .8 pound gain, but I buttoned a blouse I've never been able to wear before. Go figure.
