How Often Do You: Weigh yourself, Count Calories & Monitor Fluid In-take?

The best suggestion I can give you is do what works for YOU. Sometimes it's trial and error, but judging from your rapid weight loss..................YOU'RE NOT HAVING MUCH ERROR! ;-)

Now I initially weighed just once a wk. I did that for the first 1-1 1/2 years.  The last yr. or so I do it everyday or 2since it's more of a maintanance thing now.

I don't count calories, carbs or fluids. If I'm not sure about the calorie/carb content of an item I will check it , but that's about it. I try to do lower cal, carb, and fat.

Oh and fluids.......I do struggle to get enough in. :-(

Now some ppl are very regimented and weigh food and do food journaling. I couldn't go to that extreme, but it works for them.

Maria, I love the diet pic. I think that might be me (only much, much, younger).

Well maybe just a yr. or 2. You're a very young granny! ;-)

Ummm....... yeah, ok.

I weigh in at home every day
I weigh in at Weigh****chers (and record my weight) once a month now

Daily weighing keeps me accountable ---- I have a range between 150 - 155 that is acceptable.
When I see more than that, I take action ---- and journal my food/water/vitamins for a few days until I am back into my range.

I don't journal every day --- otherwise, but I do work to get at least 64 ounces of fluid by having 16 - 24  ounces before each meal.

I log everything on MyFitnessPal. Really keeps me motivated. I also check my blood pressure as I am hoping to get off that. Paying close attention now as it gets low and will be lowing my dosage soon so hopefully next time I can go off it!

I weigh myself the same time (am) everyday. I now know the pattern and fluctuations so it doesn't bother now.

I dont know how you girls weigh yourself everyday that plays to many head games with me if I go up in weight . 

It's bad enough once a week and you have a gain let alone taking the chance of seeing it everyday lol.

 

Here is what I do.

If I see any loss, I am thrilled

If I am up 1 pound, I think "perfectly normal"
If I am up 2 pounds in a single day, I think over what I ate the day before but don't freak ... But make an attempt to have more calorie-free liquids to flush excess sodium.

155 is my goal and I base all weigh ins on that number.

The lowest I have been is 149, but that number has been hard to get back to.

Weigh myself -- Daily ... ugh its a bad habit I know

Calorie counting -- never; try to choose good foods and small portions

Fluid intake -- don't track, but I know when I haven't had enough

This really made me look at myself! Thanks for posting!
