To Weight or Not to Weigh

I'm struggling. I've been approaching the 100lb mark now for quite a bit (at least a couple of months). Its driving me crazy. I normally hop on the scale every morning (I'm aware of daily fluctuations). This 100 lbs lost thing has been looming and I really want it but feel like i'm self sabatoging as I get closer (don't know why). I'm tempted to hide my scales and avoid weighing in except for on my official weigh in days on Wednesday until I hit the mark.
Thoughts? Anyone else have an issue when approaching a major milestone??

    Weighing daily really isn't good because it can get you discouraged. So I only weigh weekly. I was wondering however, where did you get your calorie and exercise minute goal tickers??
  • Congrats on all the weight you've lost! That is an incredible accomplishment, I know. A year ago I got down 90lbs from my highest weight. It took my a looong time to make that progress. and as soon as I became comfortable with my body and my eating habits, I gained 60 back. PLEASE, don't let that happen! I would definitely continue to weigh in often, with official ones often too. It gets so tiring after doing it for so long, but it keeps you accountable.
