Just want to know how many have success with daily weigh ins.  I tried weekly and daily and I am going back to daily.  I think this works best for me and when I was weighing daily I maintained my weight better. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi Molly,
I weigh in almost everyday.   However, I only log the weight once a week.   For example, this week I have had issues drinking my fluids.    My weight has been all over the place, but today was my "official" weigh-in and I remained the same.    I am doing a contest with a friend, so I have to record my weight on Saturday for a short time.  However, I don't let the other days get to me too bad.   I think you have to do what works best for you.

Hi Molly.
I too weigh daily, it seems to keep me on track.  When I compare my daily food intake and exercise with my daily weight loss or gain it helps me to know where I am messing up or if I am on the right track.

I have tried weighing only once a week but I found  that if the scales are up 2-3 pounds I would get frustrated and say ******, then I would avoid  the scales for weeks causing even more damage. For me the out of sight scale, is not a good thing.

Weighing daily also reminds me that my weight will fluctuate daily depending on what is happening in my life eg. too much salt, not enough water, too many carbs, too little or no exercise, hormones, stress........

I only graph my weekly weighton Friday and for me that is the true number.
I agree with April that you have to do what works for you.
1st time 01/31/2010 - 03/14/2010 lost 13 lbs
2nd time started 03/23/2010 -
Heres what I will do daily to succeed:
Read Advantage Lists  2 xs a day or more if needed
Sit Down, Slow Down, Enjoy Each Bite
Credit myself
Be accountable here daily
Exercise is not an option
Be aware of cravings and desires
Plan meals today for tomorrow
