Weekly weigh in?

Curiosity · 10-29-2006, 05:11 AM

I thought it would a good idea, to have a online weekly weigh in; I'm sure there are many of us, who would like to lose a bit of weight and this would be great to keep us all motivated.

Do you think this is a good idea? If so, would you like to have a go at doing so?

Personally, I think its a bad idea.

Weight fluctuates on a daily/monthly basis.

If you want a way to track progress, measure yourself. If your clothes fit better, then you're losing weight. But, the scale is so not dependable.

Well, if it goes along the lines of Weight Watchers, then I say it might work. It might help others to be more motivated, and will assist with weight loss. Although, it could be no one really participates... My weight tends to fluctuate by about 2-5 lbs. every day, so I dunno if I'd do it weekly LOL!

My idea came from WW! I agree, everyone's weight fluctuates, so it may not be a successful idea.

Well, we could always try it and see... Maybe a monthly weigh-in would be better. Although, maybe it would be great to start around New Years in case anyone has a "I want to lose XXX weight this year!" resolutions... I know I will LOL!

I like to measure myself so instead of weighing in ill just post measurements, its still a good idea.

My weight also fluctuates, but posting measurements would be a good idea

Might be a good idea to have a weekly post starting January with weight or measurements and exercise progress? Maybe I'll actually stick to my new year's resolutions with some support!
