I can totally relate to much of what has been said about daily weighing or weighing less often. Thanks for stopping by.

Key is finding what works for you. I personally only weigh once a week..but at this point in my journey I have found a battle with myself and the scale. My scale is digital and only shows pounds. If I weigh myself every 7 days it doesn't show a loss. I now weigh myself on that 7th day and again on the 8th day and it is showing 1 pound lost..so I'm probably losing .75 pound a week.<br /><br />Funny, last week I weighed myself at 3am when I woke up to go to the bathroom instead of 7am that I always do. I knew I did excellent this past week. It showed I gained a pound! I went back to bed and weighed myself again at 7am like I normally do and it showed I lost a pound. I can really hate that scale some days lol.<br />simply mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670868453865604981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-22415540516020345832013-04-07T12:08:28.457-07:002013-04-07T12:08:28.457-07:00Great post - really hits home, and lets me know I&...Great post - really hits home, and lets me know I'm sort of doin' things right... I also track my food on MyFitnessPal and that's been a boon for letting me know where I stand. My one hitch in my giddyup is NOT posting my daily weight on MFP. I can see the ups and downs and understand the reasons for them, but seeing it on the chart at MFP really bothers me. One would think, at the age of 75, I would be OVER that, but I'm not. Rereading Dr B's book, weighing daily, tracking food - all that is working for me. Thanks for validating me, Karen! I sort of have validated myself too, I think, because I have lost about 30 lb and I've been taken off insulin - woot!

I can do this because I am no longer *quite as affected* by the numbers as I used to be and because I track all my food. About a year and a half ago, when I had to break a very long binge cycle, I weighed myself only once a month but I did exactly what I needed to, in order to lose. <br />I've always been a very fast loser. I've also been able to starve myself on just a few hundred calories a day and work out like fiend, therefore lose fast. Doing it the right way, for the first time in my life, post menopause and almost in my mid 50s, slowed down my rate of loss to such an extent that I knew the daily fluctuations would send me over the edge. I think these decisions come down to exactly what you said: the ability to find out what works for an individual and what doesn't, even if that changes over time, as it did for me.dlambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499771234654872541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-62098765445063605962013-04-06T20:29:17.814-07:002013-04-06T20:29:17.814-07:00Every.single.morning.

Although now I'm on the primal ride for life, so I don't think it will be an issue, I still do my best when I hold myself accountable every day.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386517479350871434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-39587779397428976892013-04-06T15:57:58.768-07:002013-04-06T15:57:58.768-07:00Fantastic post - another daily weigher here.

I have found that it goes up and down within about a 1.5 kilos range (3 lbs). I do need to start some sort of strength training though as that is what my body needs most. <br /><br />I love that you focus so much on maintaining your weight - so many people just let it creep on and can only bask in the magic that is their lowest weight for a few weeks.

I don't go on vacation, so that's not an issue. :) But I do not weigh myself from day 27 of my cycle (if i make it that far) until a day after the floodgates have closed again. I didn't used to get bloated during my period, but good old perimenopause; bless her evil heart -- now I do. So no need to see that # and get mad about it. 25 days a month is good enough for me to see where I am. :)Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949876371473945014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-48794352064991510552013-04-06T10:03:47.315-07:002013-04-06T10:03:47.315-07:00Hi Karen!

I've had a week or two of mild slide of maybe a 1 or 2 pound gain, so I'm happy to hear you *on* your soap box with me as the audience. It motivates me to tighten up my formula and look at my own trends, which is all in my food journal, so I have the data to analyze. <br /><br />I also go to a weekly meeting at TOPS. I find that it gives me beginnings and ends each week, which break up the length of "forever" of weight maintenance. <br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.com
