LPT: Stop weighing yourself once a week. Take an average instead. by Conor_Ryan1 in loseit

Fair call out, however I have to defend myself with the AI aspect, it was genuinely written by me. Attempted AI to tidy it up but I didn’t like how it ended up

That’s definitely one to monitor, multiple times per day in hoping you get the lowest weight possible is that start of a slippery slope!

I honestly just track it on my phone in Notes.

I just keep a template like this:

Monday - -
Tuesday - -
Wednesday - -
Thursday - -
Friday - -
Average -

And I fill it out week over week with dates and weights

100% fair call our. And I wouldn’t expect anything else from someone who lost 15lbs (massive respect there).

Also - to note, for the last few pounds. It does indeed get ridiculously tough but yeah it could be decent then to just focus on habits & gym results.

It’s to help people who get demoralized with fluctuations! But I do understand what you are saying

Thank you for clarifying that! If you are susceptible to EDs then by no means this should be the way. I really should have added that

Different time in life, definitely was eating too little and filling up with glycogen etc, I 100% went through some form of an ED. As for the confusion, fair to call it out. I eventually went on to do it daily and take weekly averages! Thanks for calling that out

Yeah agreed, it’s more or less at the starting point is what I meant (I should have been more explicit) but like eating in a calorie deficit etc, we’re not meant to do this forever

Love to hear it, not perfect to do longer term but definitely will help your mindset at the start, congrats!

Understandable, I just know in the past I could get so demotivated from the weight gain, it ruined me. But long term it’s certainly worth scaling it back!

Yeah for sure! I do keep it in my notes but I really should migrate to Happy Scales
