    The whole point of me sharing this is to share how much our weight can fluctuate through a single day. I just shared the ability to fluctuate in weight 20 friggin pounds! In one day! That's why they say "DON'T TRUST THE SCALE". While it might be a useful tool to catch a snapshot of your progress, ultimately, it doesn't really help. Your mood and energy level is the best indicator of improvement. For body size specifics, measuring your chest, belly, hips, arms, legs, neck, wrist, and ankles is much more useful. I know it's not as easy as stepping on a scale, but that's why you only do it once a month. I keep using the scale too, but I'm so happy to understand the limitations of that method. Hope I was helpful for someone!

    I know that weigh changes during the day, but you gave me some new stats. That's why my only weigh in is first thing after using the potty and buck naked.

    Hi everyone, if you are looking for some more support and motivation, I highly recommend the Fat 2 Fit Weight Loss Challenge and Support Group.

    The group runs monthly weight loss challenge competitions. The registrations for their May Weight Loss Challenge are now open. Below is the link to their post in the Support and Motivation Forum which has all the details about the challenge, and how to join.

    I have been a member and taken part in their challenges for 3 months now, and have found it to be a great way to keep me on track and motivated.
