Does anyone weigh in only once a month?

[disnygoof]

I'm thinking of doing it. I just started induction on Sunday and keep trying to weigh myself every few days...argh! It's distressing b/c I see myself go up and down. A friend suggested once a month to me, since I am a woman and b/c of hormomes and that dreaded BF I can fluctuate so much.

What do you all think? The only thing bad about it is I wouldn't be able to check in each week on my challenges.

Before I started WISH I used to weigh myself once a month for the very same reason that you mentioned. Because of the wekkly weigh in I now do it once a week, same time, same place. I now know that some weeks I now basically know roughly what my weight loss will be according to where I am in my cycle (as long as I don't cheat ) So it doesn't really bother me if I go for a couple of weeks and only lose a pound because I know that the week after I will lose 5/6lbs. Personally I think that you have to do what works for you. If weighing yourself once a month is the best way for, then do that. Just post your weight loss once a month. Good luck

Do what works for you. I couldn't stand waiting that long, but maybe it's best for you. I also know my cycle and how it will affect my weight. Some weeks I'll lose and some weeks I'm happy to stay the same and some weeks I KNOW the bloat fairy has been to visit. I weigh myself every day, but the only day I count is Sunday for my official weigh-in and measurement day.

Good luck on deciding what will work for you!

I got scale problems too! lol. I totally see the advantages of doing it once a month cause we do go up and down alot but on the other hand, if your keeping such close track of weight say like every day, it will be a daily reminder of what you should be doing.
anyway I just bought a scale and not sure if was a good idea. Sometimes I just look at it and am afraid of it. lol.
I guess it depends how you look at the situation. Today I gto on and gained a few pounds so Im back to being strict.
