Okay, this might be confusing...but it's confusing to me, too!

Before I started Weight Watchers, I used to weigh myself on Mondays and did my planning/journaling Mon-Sat, usually taking Sunday off.

My first WW meeting was on a Tuesday (I think), but my 2nd weigh-in was on a Friday or Saturday.

I decided to start weighing in (myself) on Fridays, but then it confused things with my menu planning/WW week, and I'm not sure what to do.

If I keep up with the Friday weigh in, it helps because I've had the week to be OP and my results are probably better than they'd be on a Monday. Our weekends frequently involve traveling to see our families, and I get off-track more then. But I tend to still plan my menus Mon-Sat.

Do you think it will work for me to keep doing it this way, or would it be better to plan Friday - Thursday, if I'm keeping a Friday weigh-in? OR should I just go back to a Monday weigh-in like I had been doing before, and keep things consistent there? (Mon. weigh-in, Mon. start to my new week)

Told ya it was confusing...Thanks for any help you can give me!

My WI is on Thursdays, so my official week is Friday to Thursday. If you do need to plan your weekly menus have them start on that Friday also. Seems like you do like Friday's more than Monday's for your official WI

You should do whatever works best for you. If planning your week and distributing your FPs works best from Monday-Sunday, but you'd like to weigh yourself Friday, I'd say go for it. As long as you're consistent.

I agree with not weighing on Mondays, btw - it's kind of evil

Thank you for the input! Yesterday I realized the obvious, that I hadn't realized before: I could just move my official weigh-in to Saturday. I like to plan Mon - Sat anyway. Occasionally we buy some kind of takeout on Fridays, but if we eat out, it falls on Saturday or Sunday more than anything. So Saturday mornings should still be good for me as far as a weigh-in goes (NO Monday mornings for me...yes...they are evil, lol), and they coincide with my planning. Geesh...It was right there in front of me but I didn't think of it all that time. I'm going to give it a try and see how it works for me.

Thanks, again!

That's how I do it too. The majority of my heavy eating happens on Saturdays - parties, cookouts, restaurant eating - so I plan to have a high-point (lots of flex points) day then. I've been weighing in Saturday mornings and it works well. I'm glad you found a solution
