Good point. Far too many women are hung up on using a scale measurement alone.

I don't agree with this though:

If you want to track numbers, track your body composition. Body Fat percentage is the only number that matters.

If you want to know what your body composition is you have to track your scale weight and your BF%. You have no meaningful way of accurately gauging what your LBM is without knowing your scale weight as well. Obviously a 140lb man at 10% BF will look very different from a 190lb man at an identical 10% body fat.

Ok, that part is true, but you see my point

What an appropriate post for today!! I'll admit, I'm a daily weigher.... and was always so mad when I would eat right/exercise but still gain or at least not lose during TOM. However, I hang in there because I know the payoff will be a loss of anywhere from 2-4 pounds from pre TOM weight by the end of the week. It also helps me not totally binge the week prior when all i want to do is stuff everything I see in my face.:drinker:

^^ This!!

I totally agree with everything you've just said.

I know that I should't weigh every day, I know that TOM will cause me issues, but I look forward to when he's gone cause I know that I'll have lost a fair bit the following week.

Don't let the beggers grind you down!
