Decided to weigh myself MONTHLY

[Robinrs]

Went from daily, to weekly to monthly...

I would drive myself nuts with every fluctuation so I decided it was time to get off those NUMBERS...

Read a journal of a woman on Active Low Carbers who had a graph of her loss. She lost 100 pounds over a year and she had MANY fluctuations, but the end result she LOST the weight.

So I went today after 3 weeks and was sooooo happy...

I LOST THREE POUNDS!!!

I don't know if I lost them in a week, lost 4 pounds and gained one, lost one a week or what... the important thing is it's gone!!

I feel better...

Oh yeah I'm gone say goodbye to me, oh yeah....</marquee>

Good for you Robin,

I'm still trying to be happy with weekly, but I can see how I can go to monthly soon. The tape measure doesn't register fluctuations.

Congrats on the weight loss. I know the feeling. I have many fluctuations and I get discouraged. I might join you in that monthly weigh in thing. I don't use the tape measure, but my clothes sure don't lie!!!

I have gotten out of weighing myself daily or even every couple of days. I now weigh myself whenever I feel really, really good about the progress I have been making in changing my lifestyle. Right now it's like every other week. I just got on today after not weighing myself for 2 weeks and I have lost the 2 that I gained plus another 2. I'm pretty happy. I am finally down past the 170 mark. Seeing that just gave me more motivation to lose more weight. I am seeing that 165 is just right around the corner. I am hoping to be there by next Saturday.

Great idea! I do the same thing. Takes away lots of discouragement and frustration
