ive gotten into the bad habit of hoping on the scale every morning. after losing 11 pounds between monday and wednesday, i was thrilled. on thursday i hopped on the scale only to have it tell me that i GAINED a pound! and that little bit of news resulted in a terrible day and a terrible mood. since then, despite counting calories and exercising, the scale wont budge from that cursed number!

 

...i think the scale may have sentience. and it may be trying to drive me mad.

Hey harliquinn, I am still weighing every day and I'm still losing pretty much every day . .. even if it's only a few ounces . . BUT I have told my husband that when I get to the point, and I'm sure I will, that I hit a plateau and don't see any weight coming off, I will NOT weigh every day because I know that I would get discouraged and I don't want that to happen . .. there's so much more to this than just seeing the scale move, but I think it is ok to enjoy seeing it move while it is .. . personal decision I think. As long as you are doing what you're supposed to be doing .. . hang in there, you will get there!!
