Day 28 – Get Ready to Weigh In
Tomorrow weigh yourself and make it on your chart if you are keeping one. Beck suggests not doing anything today to monkey with the results tomorrow. She also reminds us that if we lost a lot that doesn’t mean we will keep losing at this pace, if we lose too little remind ourselves the we are losing weight so the plan is working and we should celebrate any weight loss, if you don’t lose or gain weight remember there are other reasons your weight might be up, if after another week it doesn’t fall call your coach, also look back over your behavior this week and see if it needs some tweaks.
Do you weigh daily, weekly, monthly? What time of day do you weigh yourself? How do you handle your scale number? How do you track your weight?

I weigh daily in the morning at home and write it down on my desk calendar. I weigh Monday evenings at Weight Watchers, this is recorded in the WW app. On our weigh in thread I report my Sunday morning difference and my Monday evening difference. My weight has been going up lately so I have a certain amount of dread about weighing. I'm working on talking to myself about staying on plan so I don't go over goal. I've done a bit better the last couple of weeks.

Do you weigh daily, weekly, monthly?
* Daily.
What time of day do you weigh yourself?
* First thing in the morning before dressing.
How do you handle your scale number?
* If I'm over goal, I check back to see what I did to gain, usually unplanned food, and then get right back on plan the next day, usually takes me a couple days to get the gain off. Mayo Clinic has a weight graph chart I'd like to complete so I can look back on what I weighed like Cathy Geha does, I think it may help to inspire me more to stay at goal .
How do you track your weight?
* I pre journal every night before bed as part of my bedtime routine.
* I complete the WW app first thing in the morning to earn blue dots. I'm on the Green Plan, I am allowed 30 points a day, if I fill in the app and stay between 20- 38 points a day I earn a blue dot which is called the Healthy Eating Zone!

I weigh myself on Fridays on a digital scale but I might take a peak mid week some days. Lately my attitude has been: ugh, let’s see how bad the damage is this week as I’ve been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds for now 3 months. Up and down. Start and restart. I’ve been allowing myself “summer treats” and have been over eating in social situations with friends. I’m realizing a big part of my problem is that I do well when on a schedule and poorly when I release any kind of structure. I just spent 4 days away and now need to face the music and start pre tracking and logging daily again. I just reread the last week’s terrific postings and it was good insight why it’s not a good idea for me to stay away from daily check in and pre tracking and planning habits. I need to give myself great daily structure for success instead of the ST of winging it.

Do you weigh daily, weekly, monthly?
Weekly as I'm in losing mode. Sometimes I check in mid week but that usually isn't a reliable indicator so I try not to do that.
What time of day do you weigh yourself?
Always in the morning after my morning 'meetings'. Not to be crass but shit can literally weigh a pound! I try to wear as little as possible too.
How do you handle your scale number?
If it's a loss I am happy and pat myself on the back for a week well done. If it's the same as last week, I tell myself this is what maintenance will feel like. And if it's a gain I ask myself what I may have done to cause that, knowing that sometimes it just happens and I need to stay the course and not let it derail me.
How do you track your weight? On my phone using iTrackBites. lizlor, I think one of the biggest derailers is socializing and trying to maintain being OP when you're in company that has no reason or inclination to watch what they're eating along with you. All you can do is either limit those situations or bring something with you to rely on if there's too much off plan food around. Example, I mentioned this yesterday to you when we spoke but for others here Trader Joe's makes this great cauliflower dip now, it has barely any calories, no fat, etc. It's very low points, and makes a great dip if you doctor it with spices a bit, or a substitute for sour cream on enchiladas, etc. If you make sure you have something healthier to snack on that you bring, so you take responsibility for having something on plan there, then maybe that will help in social situations where there's food? |
