Everyday Weigh-In
 

Ok ... so I am trying to stay accountable for those "little extras" that go in my mouth. (they may be small but they add up!)

So for an experiment in will power, motivation and just plain ole' curisousity I am going to start weighing in everyday to see how certain things, like exercise, food choices and sleep have on my weight.

You are all welcome to join me! I am going to be posting

a) Weight
b) Number of hours sleeping
c) Exercise
d) Little Extras, things not on my plan (square of chocolate, 1 chip etc)

Here is my 4/12/2010

a) 210.0 lbs
b) 7 hours sleep
c) Exercise: Dog walk 2miles
d) Little Extras: 2 Tim Bits

I just wanted to comment that we just started doing this in the 100 pound club and I LOVE it! It's been a great way getting to know each other too. We list the entire month in one post so:
April:
1:
2:
3:
4:
etc.

It's a great record as well. I'd join if I thought I could keep up with more than one thread! ;)

I weigh myself everyday, and I only count Monday morning's weigh in as my "official weigh in" for the week, the one that goes down in my food/exer. diary. This is a really good idea and I think it's going to help you a lot. I hold myself more accountable and if I have a day were I go outside my diet, and the scale shows it the next am, it really helps my mindset next time I feel like cheating. It sort of like "man, last time I did that I gained a half pound, don't think i want to ruin all my hard work again." Good luck! I hope it helps!!!

Lorie - Thanks for the luck! I really do think this will help because if I see a gain due to something I shouldn't have eaten - it will encourage me to get right back OP the very next day :)

I am a daily weigher and when I feel bloated, can see that the scale is up. Sometimes I weigh 2x a day. before breakfast and before bed.

2x a day! Wow! :)

1x a day is fine with me - actually it seems quite a lot considering I only weighed in 1x a week before

I'd like to join you. I weigh everyday as it is.

Lauren, great idea I'm definitely in! I haven't added formal exercise to my plan yet but am going to very soon. It's also a personal challenge of mine to not let myself have little bites or tastes of things but I do slip sometimes. Something to think about too is sodium. I don't count mine but I usually know when I've had too much the day before and see a temporary gain the next morning.

Here is my 4/12/2010:

a) 158.0 lbs
b) 9.5 hours sleep
c) Exercise: none
d) Little Extras: ended up having a small piece of a snickerdoodle cookie at work

Down two pounds today.

Yesterday I had:
Breakfast - Bacon
Lunch - Steak
Dinner - Ground Beef and Cheese
Snack - Sausage

I've never done this before, but I'll give it a try this month! Wednesdays are my official weigh-ins :D Hoping to see 189!

04/12: 191.4
04/13: 190.6
04/14: 191.8
04/15: 189.6!

Since I have gained a pound in a day, TOM is about to appear. I haven't logged my weights during TOM before, so I'm kind of looking forward to it. Sadly, I'm not going to see 180s for another week. REALLY DISAPPOINTED.

4/14/2010

a) 208.0 (heh?!?)
b) 8 hours
c) 15mins elliptical + 15mins weights + walk with the dog
d) I plan on eating nothing that isn't on my plan

I'll join in as soon as I get my new scale, its super accurate so i'll get better measurements each day.

Down 2 more!
