Thread: Monday Vs Friday weigh in?

Me and OH are debating wether to change our weigh day from a Monday to a Friday.

I want to weigh Friday as we tend to do things at a weekend that involve booze lol so we have got a full week then to recover the damage before next weigh.

He says Monday as it will still give us incentive to try and be good..

But i wouldn't be able to enjoy myself I don't think, knowing that it could be disastrous to our weigh in Monday...

Anyone else weigh on Fridays and find it better?

Im sorry but I am for the Monday weigh in!

Im just starting out from home and am doing it Sunday nights. Have always had class on either a monday or tuesday! Mainly because if it was later in the week and I had a bad weekend it would have dragged into a bad week too, whereas a Monday weigh in means if I am bad at the weekend the damage is limited to until monday because I know the motivation after a weigh in increases! (if that makes sense!)

Totally.

Can I just ask why you weigh at night? It might make perfect sense to you but I'm just curious lol.. My weight can go up by 5lbs by night time, but I suppose if you do it same time every week it doesn't make any difference..

I'm motivated enough, I previously lost 4st on Sw without going to a class, so becoming unmotivated isn't a problem for me, I just like to enjoy myself 1 night a week but would be unable to if I knew that it could be disastrous Monday, showing a gain and knowing that it's my fault would make me less motivated iykwim? Before when I lost 4st wasn't a problem then, I most stayed in and was good because my ex was a bell to be polite lol and didn't like me going out.

Dup post stupid phone *edit*

I find with the Friday weigh in the weekend starts after weigh in the continues til monday, not really a problem as I'm at target but if you want to lose each week that would make a huge difference

It would literally be one night off, a few vodkas & diet cokes. I'm just worried that if I saw a gain on a Monday I would be really disheartened after being 100% on everything bar having a drink. Where as If I weighed Friday, I'd have the whole week again to be 100% and un do any damage lol. I suppose the end result will be exactly the same but I try so hard and am anxious about seeing a gain. I'm just obsessive haha.

Mondays! I find it keeps me on track over the weekend and its something to look forward to on a Monday.

Both are good

True, not much to look forward to on Mondays lol.

I'm a Monday weigher. I think it puts me in a "oh god only a small loss" or "oh crap a gain" and makes me focus for the week. Although having said that I've only been back on plan for the last 2 weeks!

That would make me less motivated! Haha if end up depressed that I'd see a gain but like I said in the long run the results will be exactly the same. Only planning a few vodkas on a sat night and on plan 100% apart from that.

I weigh in on a Wednesday evening and tend to give myself a loose enough reign on Friday and Saturday, less so on Sunday and then super strict from Monday to Wednesday. It's all about finding what works for you. Personally I would go for the Friday so that I could enjoy being a bit naughty for a day or two at the weekend and then give myself a long clean run for the week of being very good to get a good reading again by Friday. Depends how your body works/how much you value a bit of leeway and how quickly your body recovers from having a few bevvies!!! If you're in a hurry to lose the weight and have a deadline then I'd say a Monday weigh-in. If you don't mind taking it slightly slower and having a few FlexiSyn evenings along the way then I'd say Friday!

Still undecided. I have 2 st 7lbs to lose to put me at final target. Cutting out booze most weekends is a no no, went without last weekend but this weekend I've got things planned and usually have. My kids go sat afternoon til Sunday afternoon so I try to make the most of Saturday nights lol.

Id say Monday too. Do you not incorporate your drinks into the plan? If you do similar each week then it shouldn't affect the weigh in day results overall?

I'm not sure I'd be the best at counting how many vodkas and syns I've had when I'm tipsy lol. I don't drink often so maybe I'll be ok.
