every morning

i weigh and measure myself every morning right when i wake up, sort of obsessive and foolish due to the weight fluctuation, but its nice to see the weight drop in the long run, plus it keeps me motivated.

I weigh myself every other day. I try not to get to obsessed about it but sometimes i weight myself a little more.

Weigh Daily / Measure Weekly

I 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.

I 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.

You need to check your settings for 'Send me reminders about my health and fitness goals' under 'Edit Your Profile'.

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.

I am only going to measure in once a month now. How do yoou get a reminder from daily burn?

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!

Daily

I 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?

Every Sunday

I 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.

Measurements

I 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.
