Here's your Question:
Do you think one who is trying to lose weight, should weigh them themselves every day?
Include why or why not in your answer?
I would say no, but I am not one to talk. When I am trying to lose weight I weigh myself constantly.
ReplyDeleteNo, but I do anyway. Habit, I think.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion...I say no because it could be discouraging. I say 2-4 weeks.

I threw my scale away years ago. I think they are unhealthy for people.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Friday!

Weight Watchers says to weigh yourself once a week since different things can affect your weight from day to day.
ReplyDeleteWeighing once a week is good. Everyday is too much.
ReplyDeleteI need to loose some weight.
I have heard that you shouldn't but I have been wanting to loose a few extra pounds and so I weigh myself each day cause it helps me stay motivated.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. Some may need it, but it's more of a depressing factor and will make many just give up dieting.
ReplyDeleteNo, doing that always made me crazy. There are too many subtle changes on a day to day. Once a week is the way to go.

I don't think it's a good idea. I used to do that and it only made me feel bad. I think every 3 days is good
ReplyDeleteI think a couple of times a week is good, otherwise you drive yourself crazy!
ReplyDeleteNo I don't because I think if there is no weight loss it just makes it harder on the person trying to lose the weight to keep doing it. People like to see results and when you do it's inspirational :) Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI think everyday is a bit much, because if you don't see a change it could be discouraging. When on a diet I usually weigh myself every week. However, I read online that dieters who weigh themselves daily lost more...
ReplyDeleteOnce a week is good because our body changes.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
PS: Thanks for comment on my blog today, I appreciate.
No. Absolutely not.
ReplyDeleteIf you weigh yourself daily:
1) You begin to not notice improvement & think that your still too large (kinda like people when they are tanning).
2) It becomes stressful which can cause more of a weight gain.
No, I would never weight myself everyday! I think weekly or something like that would be better! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not. I think we need to understand that our weight fluctuates so much. Once a week is good. I have not weighed myself in a few weeks. Yesterday, I finally did and was happy that my weight loss finally reached 10 pounds. 5 more to go!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't advise someone trying to lose weight to weigh in every day. That could get obsessive and lead to hard frustrations with your body.
ReplyDeleteMaybe every week or after two weeks is good.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteI would say once a week and don't just weigh yourself but measure yourself with a tape measure. Some times when you work out you can gain numbers but lose inches. You need to join up with the ladies from mamavation.com
I'm glad everyone said No. I agree! It might depress you if you weren't making progress weight-wise, but you may be building muscle if you're exercising.
ReplyDeleteI would say no. How much could a person lose in a day?
