    First off, it's normal to see weight fluctuations from day to day when you weigh yourself daily. For some people (myself included), daily weighing is what keeps them motivated. That being said however, I don't stress over a couple of pounds anymore. That has only come about in the last couple of months though.

    I initially lost 72 pounds (from 197-125), gained about 22 back, and have lost 10 from there, and would like to lose 5-10 more.....but truly, I am happy whenever the scale is under 140 at 50 years of age, 5'6". Could I tone and firm up and be happier? Of course, but I'm a walker, and not much into anything else for exercise. I'm so much healthier than I was five years ago, it is almost unbelievable.

    You are truly at a healthy weight right now, so just enjoy! Tone and firm up if you want, but don't worry needlessly about more pounds coming off.

    Seriously? Two pounds is changing SO much? Our body's fluctuate daily, a couple of pounds up or down is normal.

    I'd suggest weighing yourself once a week and stick to it. Choose a day and weigh yourself in the morning naked before anything to eat or drink.

    good luck

    Everything everyone posted is true. But also don't forget that working out (even cardio only) can improve muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat does. You could be gaining muscle when you work out and losing muscle when you don't. ................ Muscle is good because the more you have the more calories you burn, even while your body is at rest. Just make sure to feed your muscles properly by eating enough calories.
