MeasurementsI do mine every 2 weeks I cheat and check my weight a little more often maybe every other day but I get fustrated doing it because it goes up and down so much. This last weight & measurements (10/31) I only lost .4 lbs but I lost 1 inch around my waist, gut and hips so I must be doing something right. Posted by conquest2 on Nov. 03, 2009 at 01:02PM |

Every SundayI weigh almost every day but I try to only log on Sundays. I try to do my measurements every Sunday as well, but seem to get to my body fat only about once a month. I have been discouraged with that because I have not been doing any resistance training because I haven't had time to get to the gym, so the body fat isn't dropping. At least I know why, which is half the battle. Posted by Jenney on Nov. 03, 2009 at 02:22PM |

DailyI weigh in every morning and log it because I like to see trends and I like the graph to have a lot of data points. Only recently have I come to terms with the fact that it's going to go both up and down on a day to day basis. Just weigh and walk away is my new creedo. So far I have not been doing meaurements - I just go by how my clothes fit. I have dropped quite a few pants sizes and am back in my smallest jeans now. Maybe by Chirstmas it will be time for a shopping spree? Posted by TheAng on Nov. 05, 2009 at 08:42PM |

I weigh in every morning about the same time. Yes, my weight goes up and down but I don't let this bother me: it's the overall trend that counts. Besides, if it goes up one day, I know I'll have a greater weight loss the next ;-) I'm not very good on measurements though. I tend to measure about once a month - or when I get an email from DB reminding me! Posted by Cieron on Nov. 06, 2009 at 03:22AM |

I am also one who weighs in on a daily basis but I realize that it will go up and down. I really look at the weekly trend. Measurements I am not as good at doing them..maybe once a month. I usually just go by how my pants are fitting. Posted by rfisher76 on Nov. 08, 2009 at 09:45PM |

weigh dailyI get on the scale every morning, or nearly so, but I take measurements only every week or so. I don't flip out by seeing the ups and downs of the scale. My scale also estimates bodyfat percentage, and I pay attention to the general trend. I used to keep a graph of all the bodyfat measurements and then throw out the highest and lowest measurement of every week. What's left gives a pretty good indication of changes over time.

Weigh Daily / Measure WeeklyI weigh in every morning and I must say it has become kind of addicting. Luckily I've come to terms with the fact it does fluctuate. If I get to a new low, I give it 2 or 3 days to see if I maintain before I get excited. Same with weight gain, as long as I'm making smart choices the gains are usually temporary. I measure myself weekly but I think clothes tell me more than the numbers. I can even wear clothes that used to fit me 3 years ago. Thank goodness my wife was willing to tell me they were no longer in style. Posted by elsnook on Dec. 10, 2009 at 06:10PM |
