    Great work!! It's always awesome and motivating to see those kinds of numbers when you weigh in.

    Well, I'm late to this tread - I see you did weigh in, so good job! But, two things: 1) take measurements as well; write them down with the date; 2) I was going to suggest you weigh in today, but step on the scale backwards and have someone else log the weight for you; then, whenever you felt comfortable you could see what it was, or you could wait until your next weigh-in. Just a thought...

    I have a journal going of my measurements also. I know that the scale can't be my only measure for success. This time around I'm looking at the bigger picture. I never gave it much thought of not looking at the number till I was sure I could handle it. I may need to your suggestion of turning around and having someone else record for me in the future. Thanks so much.

    I know a lot of people say you shouldn't weigh in daily because of daily weight fluctuations, but that is exactly why I do weigh in daily. Otherwise, it can be really discouraging if your weigh in day happens to be a heavy water weight day. I think it's helpful to weight daily, at the same time each day (I do it first thing after I get up and use the restroom) and then you can see your trend instead of just one point in time. Yes, I'm a bit of a stats geek, but as any stats geek will tell you, the more data points, the more accurate the information!

    Also, someone on another thread posted a recommendation for a free app that actually shows you your weight loss trend. I just tried it and love it! It's called Libra.

    Good luck!

    The more I weigh in, the less the individual number effects me.

    Absolutely. All this.

    I would weigh in. I like to weight in once every week or two just to make sure I am making progress or at least progressing. :)
