Re: How often do you weigh?

I am a scale addict I weight several times a day.. I do not get frustrated or discouraged because I have learned that my weight will fluctuate around 5 lbs a day.
However I only log my wieght once a week..

Once a week. Monday morning at 08:00.

Anything more and I would drive myself crazy with it I am certain.

Re: How often do you weigh?

I am just like Summerfun.. I am so scale addicted...that I weigh myself at least 10 times a day...I write in my own personal diet journal what I weigh.. but the one weigh in that counts is at 9am....them I am so sick, if its one ounce of turning into the next number, going down, then I will wait until 9:15, plus do extra treadmill...then weigh again..but you know what I need that..

Re: How often do you weigh?

I use to not weigh everyday because I would get depressed if I gained weight. It's really important to stay positive. I am now in a place where I weigh everyday BUT I only record it once weekly. Friday is my official record weight day.
Remember to drink lots of water though to get the sodium out of your body. If you eat something like bacon or beef jerky that has tons of salt and you don't drink alot of water or decaffeinated tea, you will gain water weight (not fat) but the scale will trick you. If you drink enough on a regular basis, your body wont hold on to water weight because it knows you are constantly supplying it. So drink those fluids.

Re: How often do you weigh?

Re: How often do you weigh?

I usually weigh once a week on Mondays. But when I feel like rummaging through the fridge or cupboards out of boredom or habit, I step on the scale to remind myself how far I have come and how far I have to go. So instead of eating just to eat, I pat myself on the back and go do a crossword puzzle instead.

Re: How often do you weigh?

I weigh in every morning first thing and I write my weight down in my journal for that day. I don't get depressed or anything. I just up my water intake and move on with my day like normal. Some days I lose weight and some day's I don't. I just keep chugging along. Good luck!

What you eat today doesn't show up on the scale tomorrow though ... it's most likely a day or two before you see "the results" of "today".

Re: How often do you weigh?

I don't worry about weight, I gauge Atkins induction success by the mirror, and more importantly, how loose my clothes are becoming.

There is a limit to how much fat you can possibly lose in two weeks, and instead of OCD'ing myself into the grave worrying about weight, I"m grudgingly steeling myself to accept that exercise and dieting must be maintained to stay thin.

Throw away the scale, enjoy your slimming down.
