    Thanks for all of the replies! I am thinking of trying a daily weigh in this week and then taking an average of the 7 days to see where I am at. I am just thinking that maybe when I weigh in once a week I am retaining water that day or something and it isn't giving me a true representation of where I am at. I will try a daily weigh in this week and see how it goes!

    I hear ya. I was so pumped. Only weighed in on Sunday morning the past 2 weeks but last week I weighed again on Wednesday last week and that put me at 7 lbs lost. I weighed this morning and I am up 2 lbs. I don't know how to stay motivated with the fluctuation.

    Overtime you learn the normal patterns of your body fluctuations and it isn't as discouraging. I weigh in daily, not expecting a loss everyday and often expecting an increase because I know I tend to lose and then gain 3/4 of that back and then lose it again plus a little more. That is my normal patterns so when I see the increase, I expect it and it isn't as frustrating.

    Reading this is perfectly timed! Had an increase in spite of more exercise than usual (no, not enough to create more weight in lean muscle mass), and was sure there'd be at least a little drop. Nope...up a couple pounds instead. Reading your post has greatly calmed me down.

    On another note and to other posters, lighten up! To each his/her own. If weighing daily is tedious to you, then don't do it, but why be so judgemental about others' preferences for a daily weigh-in? There's wonder in diversity--thank heavens we don't all think the same way!

    Seem like you are very defensive. I won't argue. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Have a good day, and I hope you much success in your journey.

    I weigh daily, and check 2-3 times a week. For me it keeps me focused on what I ate the day before, be it good or bad! It's a personal choice!
