What do you think about weighing yourself daily???.....

[Babylegion]

Hi,

I know this may sound weird but I weigh myself daily, first thing in the morning. I only record my weight on a Friday each week, and I do understand about flatuations of weight and know that different days will show different readings, especially around the monthly cycle. So I don't freak out about it. Just on the Fridays with my true reading. Does anyone else weigh theirselves daily???.....

I do. If I start creeping up then I am better behaved for the rest of the week. If I start going down I feel pleased and determined not to ruin it.

I weigh myself everyday now and I don't panic too much to be honest but now I'm probably going to weigh myself every 1-2 days because I have started the 12 week diet plan

Good luck on your plan mark and your weight loss journey x

i don't weigh every day, but most days. It's good to know how the body responds to different foods and to different degrees of hydration. Water makes a huge difference - up to 5-6 pounds for me. No wonder peoples weight goes up and down for no apparent reason. The error in weighing is about twice the amount we can lose in a week.

Thanks rmnsuk, it's sometimes comforting to see things heading in the right direction x

I normally weigh in weekly but last week or so been plateauing and struggling so going to weigh in extra to make sure im still on track. I think its a personal choice really and if you are using the same friday weigh in as your proper weigh in and it keeps you on track then go for it

[Babylegion in reply to fibronfedup]

Thanks fibronfedup, hope your doing well x

[fibronfedup in reply to Babylegion]

Been tough since easter but still exercising and watching my calories so just tweaking things till i can get back on track, but staying positive hope you've been doing well

[Babylegion in reply to fibronfedup]

Yes thanks, apart from the set back of gaining a couple of ibs this week. Was really upset but now I'm just more determined than ever x

I'm weigh myself everyday too and record my weight first thing every morning before I eat or drink anything. I need to know whatever I am doing is going in the right direction if that makes sense. It's good to know I am not the only one who does this. I too appreciate weight can fluctuate for a variety of reasons.

[Babylegion]

It can be comforting when we see we are going down the right rd. so yes I do understand AV28. Thanks for the reply x

Hi

Lots of article advise not to weigh your self daily , course if you're doing everything right , working out often , eating clean ...still u don't see any changes in your weight ...this might course you stress then there're chances you might wanna give up .For me this is also the only reason i don't weigh daily ..i check my weight every 10 days ..

Other then this it is fine to weigh daily =)

Thanks for the reply vani, it doesn't make me want to give up just try harder. Good luck on your weight loss journey x

Hi, I weigh myself probably 3-4 times a week, always in the morning after going to the toilet (:-)) , and then at the end of that diet 'week' I take the lowest weight from the 3-4 measurements to work out how much weight I've 'lost' that week. I think your weight 'wobbles' quite a bit on a day-to-day basis, and think this fluctuation is due to how much water you're retaining. I wanted to avoid getting demotivated by thinking I hadn't lost much if only weighing once a week, when in reality I probably just had a bit too much water retention on the weigh-in day! I'm being good and counting calories etc. so I think this is okay, as long as the general trend week-to-week is downwards! I think whatever works and keeps you on track, we're all a bit diffrent hey?

We're all different but I'm glad I'm not the only one x
