Thanks Ranae -  I find weighing every day my only way to stay focused but I do fluctuate quite a bit, daily. I use Sunday as my recorded weigh in day because I found my spiky graph a little off putting, I like to see order lol.

I just find myself wishing for Sunday to come so I can record my (hopefully) sucessful weight drop. lol.

First, welcome back!

When I began my transition to a healthy lifestyle, I started weighing myself daily at the same time and in the same outfit.  This provided me with an accurate weight (allowing for a 2 lb fluctuation) and made me responsible for my food choices each day.  While many people find it difficult to do this, I found it most helpful and did not obsess about it.  I knew by what I had eaten the previous day if the 1-2 lb increase was due to water and/or muscle or due to the fact that I had not made the best choices in eating.  If it was the latter, I quickly (immediately) forgave myself and started fresh with making better choices.

In doing a survey, I found that I am in the minority.  However, medical studies show that those who weigh daily lose more weight when compared to those who do not.

Live today ... and enjoy the journey ... tomorrow will come soon enough.

(((Hugs)))
