daily weighers: how long till you claim a lower number

[TES 858]

If you weigh daily, how long do you wait to "claim" a new, lower number on the scale? I notice that sometimes my weight goes down and then it will fluctuate a bit over the next couple of days before the new number is established. I am wondering this mostly as related to entering a lower weight into MyFitnessPal (for my own purposes only). Thanks!

I weigh daily but record once a week in MFP. Every Wednesday since that's the day I had surgery.

I weigh in daily.. and record to a spreadsheet.. and i record my measurements every week or if i have been gaining weight for over 2 days in a row..

I record my weight on lose it.. only when i lose some..

I record every Saturday but weigh everday too. Sometimes if it's a big loss I'll record it out of excitement!

I weigh every day, but because of how our bodies fluctuate (wish this thing had spell check!), I only claim it if it has stayed consistant for at least 2 days in a row.

THIS!

I know that it will fluctuate back up, but I simply ignore the increase and only record new lows. there have been times when I've seen a new number on the scale, and then it's bounced up a few pounds and stayed there for a week... but I still stuck to the new number because I knew it was going back down eventually anyway... Now if I was misbehaving and actually thought I was gaining real weight.. I'd go in and change my weight to show the gain.

Ditto. And if it goes up, it's mine. It is what it is when it is.

I'm with her! If I see it...I record it!

I weigh everyday, but decided that I will only record on a monthly basis. I use it as a guideline to let me know if I should try to up my calories/fluids or increase/decrease my walking to try and prevent a stall.

I record in MFP daily the ups and downs. It helps me see long term. My long term actually looks kinda like a staircase. Loose stall, stall loose. I've almost gotten used to the pattern and try not to focus on it too much.
