Lose weight the fun way.

My sister, cousin, mom and I all report are weight loss progress to each other on Sundays. That is also the day I send in my official weekly token weigh in on DB. Ocassionally I also get on the scale on Wednesdays to see how I'm doing mid-week.

For right now though I'm going to stop that. I know it's helpful for some but for me it's self sabotaging. I can think I'm donig really well with my eating and exercise, if I exercise, and I get on the scale on Wednesdays thinking the scale is gonig to reflect my effforts but many times it does not just because of the natural daily fluctuations in weight. So, I get discouraged and then I decide "Well if I'm not gonig to lose weight anyway I might as well eat like a pig! And then I do." Well, that's not helpful especially when I have not made my DB10 goal for 3 months in a row and I really want to this month. So, for the rest of the DB10 I'm in (we're in round five) I'm only going to weigh in once a week, keep following my plan I've laid out for myself and let the scales fall where they may.

I'm with you Rebecca. I only weigh in once a week, unless I have to at a different time for a DB. Stick to your guns and don't get frustrated when the scale doesn't show the progress you expect. I know it is easier said than done, but you can do it.

I'm the same way. I weigh in on Wednesdays for my token weigh in and then I weigh in a few times in between and it is so discouraging sometimes. I finally got down to only weighing in twice per week, but sometimes I'll get on the very next day thinking let's see how much weight I lost today, hoping for a good number, which makes no sense at all. I would rather see the larger numbers by pounds, not the daily - 0.2 or +.3. Still a work in progress. Good luck to you!
