Question

So, I'm curious as to what others would do. This morning I weighed in and it said 230. 7. This was before breakfast and before, ahem, going to the bathroom.  So right after, I ate breakfast and about 30 minutes later, went to the bathroom. About 20 minutes later, I went to take a shower and figured, what the heck, I'll weigh again to see if it really does make a difference. This time it said 229! I did it 3 different times and they all said 229. Lol so which would you log, the 230. 7 or the 229? (I logged the lower number, fyi. :) )

Answer 1

I always go with the lower

What; do you usually do, eat, drink, use bathroom or not?

@priory oh, I normally do. This was more of an experiment type thing. :) I usually only weigh once a week!

Put the scale away. Do your weekly weigh in. Love the fact your clothes are loose and, most importantly, celebrate every day!

@wagram Keep up the good work!

Heck Yeah. 229

Answer 20

Log in the low number.  

Answer 21

It just proves bodies are complex machines and can be fickle with the scale for many normal reasons. It’s always one data point at a moment in time. I’d log 229

Answer 22

Lower number. Helps self esteem

Answer 23

I did the same thing today and totally went with the lower number even though it was only . 2 less  

Answer 24

229 for sure lol

Answer 25

The lowest one  

Answer 26

I do not want to be disappointed next day. Rather be pleased. So I log higher.  

Answer 27

Whatever point in the day you usually weigh yourself I would pick. For example if you weigh before breakfast always weigh before breakfast. That way it is consistent

Answer 28

I would log the lower number. Hahahaha but WOW that must have been some trip to the bathroom!  

Answer 29

We all have these little ups and downs. Every day. We can't pay too much attention to them. Mostly water weight and a MIND TRAP. Whether you weigh every day or once a week, it's the average and the direction which matters. Do what you KNOW you have to do and trust the system. If we play games with ourselves, get too happy or get too dissatisfied we haven't really bought into the system and we're just frustrating ourselves. I've done it too, then when that Kinder number isn't there the next morning, I'm not happy. I wish I hadn't seen that number in the first place, 'cause it was just a tease. The only weight which matters is your check in weight. Besides, home scales can be screwy.  

Answer 30

I would!  

Answer 31

What my doctor told me and nutritionist is after you pee and before you eat or drink anything. If you happen to poop before you eat or drink anything will that's a bonus. So your accurate weight is when you first get out of bed and pee and poop if you happened to poop first thing. Yeah you can weigh yourself again after you poop but then you're getting obsessive and I do it all the time. Was weighing myself every single morning as I have started doing again but now I'm going crazy. I have a friend that we keep each other accountable and we text each other our weights every Monday

Answer 32

I always weigh in just my underwear clothes can add a few pounds even though they feel light.  

Answer 33

Very hard work

Answer 34

I have 4 scales, is this a obsession  

Answer 35

Oh my

Answer 36

The smaller number.  

Answer 37

I have always the least about 10 o’clock in the morning. I guess it’s the difference in the fluid. My husband weighs less at night. Totally the opposite of me.
