I have an official weigh in once a week and so I change my ticker at that time if there is a change. Sad to say there was no change this week, but I think it's due to TOM. I'm looking forward to changing my ticker next week!

I change mine every week at my official weigh-in, and I also update a spreadsheet of my weekly weights.

I don't change my ticker if it stays within my goal range of 142-147. If I go above that range or below it, I will change it. I fluctuate quite a bit and would be changing it everyday.

I've always changed my ticker on my weigh-in day, which is Tuesday. I like changing it -- it's a little ritual I've had for a year now. Changing my avatar picture to the next 5 pounds down when I can do that, changing the weight under the avatar, and changing my ticker. Woohoo! I love it. I've only had three weeks when I gained, and I think I changed it upward one of those times but the other times I just left it, thinking I'd be back down the next week. And I always was, like this week! I also update it in my spreadsheet every Tuesday to watch my line graph trend downward. Stuff like that keeps me motivated for some reason.

I change mine on Mondays which is my official weigh-in day. I do change it whether it goes up or down. Hopefully, I will be only recording downs from now on!

Thanks all!! :)

I change mine on my weigh in day only. And I also will change it up or down, depending on what happens.

Hmmm - I only weigh in every two weeks - I find there are too many fluctuations depending on what you eat or drink, bm's etc. So once every two weeks gives me a more accurate picture of where I'm at - but I will change it for sure.

I weigh myself every day, normally twice a day, but I only change my ticker on my offical weigh in day, Saturday. Occasionally I will move my weigh in day if I'm not going to be home on Saturday, because I only count weight on my scale.

My first official weigh-in is this Thursday and I've got my fingers and toes crossed that I will be moving it down. I went up two pounds over this weekend and I didn't move it up because I KNOW I'm taking that off.

Once a week - Friday is Dday for me

sabriena 07-17-2007 05:29 PM

I only weigh on Wednesdays and I only change my ticker then too. For better or worse :D

butterflykiss 07-17-2007 09:07 PM

I only change my ticker on my official weigh-ins (every Saturday)

MarinePrincess 07-18-2007 03:36 AM

Every Monday after my official weigh in. I weigh periodically throughout the week just to see how I'm doing, but I don't change the ticker until Monday.

crazynette826 07-20-2007 12:19 AM

Okay so I do mine differently than everyone else. I weigh every day, and it flucuates a lot. So I move my ticker when I see the same new low weight for two days in a row. So for example this week my weights have been 174, 174, 175, 174, 173, 174. So my ticker is at 174, but I won't change it to 173 until I see that weight two days in a row. Kind of strange, I know, but it works for me! Keeps me coming back! I love changing my ticker!!

CLCSC145 07-20-2007 12:48 AM

Am I the only one who thrives on instant gratification? :D I change it when my weight changes and I weigh daily. I do post the total net change for the week on the weekly weigh-in thread each Monday.

JustSharing83 07-20-2007 06:02 AM

I was weighing everyday and changing the ticker every time my weight went down. I've decided that being on the scales daily hasn't been helpful for me, so I am doing the weigh in thread on Fridays in the support forum and putting the scales away for the rest of the week. I will be changing my ticker on Fridays as well.

xJox 07-20-2007 11:59 AM

Im starting to think that I need to weigh only on weigh in day as well.

ChristyDM 07-20-2007 12:39 PM

For the time being, I am weighing everyday. (More than once a day sometimes...I love playing with the scale. I gained .4 pounds just by having my hair still wet from the shower. I'm a dork, I do different things purposely to see how they affect it.) I have changed my ticker a couple of times. I'm just so excited to see loss!! I avoid the weigh-in threads. For me, they are too much pressure, too much "why didnt I lose as much", too much "whats she doing differently." I keep a journal and in it I list my foods, calories, fat grams, exercise, and weight. Somedays I actually journal, others its just the basics. I'm sure once my loss slows down, I won't be so excited that I change the ticker every few days, but for now, it's fun and motivation for me.

jennylou 07-20-2007 01:07 PM

Just once per week. I weigh more often, but only record on my official WI day.
