I weigh myself every day, in the morning, but I'm pretty rational about the results these days, not panicking if it changes one day to the next.
In fact, I had a few years of no scales, just trying to eat healthy food, and I put on a load of weight! So I've managed to lose that - 12kg - over the past year, and I'll just keep an eye on it now ...
But I do understand how it can be - I was pretty obsessive when I was younger. You have to learn what works for you.0 -
Ariadnula- thanks for the friend request. I have been on here on and off. Just got back from a vacation a week ago then the last few days my Son's family 15 all together were in Puerto Vallarta when the hurricane hit. So I have been absent. My son's motherinlaw was on WCCO news last night. I have read all of the threads here lurking as you say. Still lifting, added Kettlebell swings on rest days just finished a 5 day fast lost 8 lbs and 9 inches. Nice arm shot! I'll see if I can take one. I have to weigh everyday or I overeat and can put on weight really quickly! I need to clean up my eating habits be more like Psych101 her macros rock!0

Well, you learn something about yourself every day. I added my first 'friends' on MFP the other day, and that seemed very jolly, and then ... I suppose we all have our 'crazy' triggers and I found that seeing what other people are doing each day, scrolling up on my front page, was making me panicky. Am I doing enough? What should I be doing? I'm falling behind....
So - I suppose one benefit of being older is you learn to spot that stuff messing with your head. So apologies to my two brief 'friends' - I'll still talk to you on here, you're both great :-)0 -
@Ariadnula good on you for realising what you need and taking the appropriate action
My whole body aches nicely today. I decided last night I didn't want to spin this morning before work... I am slowly learning to listen to and respect my body! May go for a light session after work or a swim...then hoping for SL day 3 tomorrow!0 -

Thanks! It is nice seeing the progress that other people make to their arms! I know I have a real difficult time doing the OHP and BP it's nice to see the tone and definition from all that hard work!0 -

Ah, thanks! I've been at this for a while. If I could only focus as much on proper nutrition as I do on my workouts! lol.
If you ever need to switch it up, I have plenty of ideas!

Thanks! I checked the workout thread and get ideas from what you and other women post. I would love to have someone like you as a mentor!0 -
Dawn- vacation! Exciting! Where are you going? If you don't mind me asking. Great max weight on your lifts!0

Alright, I'm late to the party, but I've been struggling with catching that flexing selfie (I coulda done better if the locker room hadn't been this crowded... lol)

Woot more pictures. I'm going to post another. I haven't done stronglifts for a whole year or anything. However, I have officially been a gym member for a year (started stronglifts in November but joined the gym on 10-27-15). Since I did the max test on ohp and such, doing more upper body and shoulder type lifts last night, thought I'd take a picture afterwards. I didn't have a picture of my back from September or October, but instead I did take one in December. So, here is the back/shoulder progress with a little attempt at flexing this time. Different apartment, lighting, camera and more of a flex attempt but still, not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Wow, look at the definition in your shoulders! Good work 0
