For all of you who like to weight themselves every day

It's considered general wisdom not to weigh yourselves every day. The body's weight naturally fluctuates by a couple of pounds up and down, and seeing the scale go up again the day after it read you'd lost a few can be disheartening. Weighing in once, maybe twice a week, gives you a more rounded view of what's going on.

However, for an awful lot of us it's a bit of an obsession ^_^

I use "The Hackers Diet" alongside MFP. It's not really a diet or a plan, just a way of monitoring weight loss. It has some other handy tools to calculate your average daily calorie deficit based on your weight loss, should you be interested in such things. I don't know the exact maths behind it...I read the theory, I really did, but I was never a mathematician ^_^;; the jist is that it uses the same maths that is used to make stock market projections. It plots your actual weight and figures in a little red line on the chart to show what your weight 'trend' is, so even if on the odd day you gain a couple extra pounds, you can see that actually, over all, you're still on track to loosing weight, which trust me, as I've found on a number of occasions in the past, can be a HUGE motivation booster if you're like me; "Oh I've put on a pound, what's the point in all this, I'm not loosing weight, I should just give up now"

The best thing is, it actually works best and provides a more acurate projection when you're weighing in every day, so it's fantastic for all us addicted to weighing in every day ^_^

I still love to use MFP because at the end of the day, it's just a fancy chart and it can't tell me how much I need to eat or how to adjust for my exercise etc, and of course because I can keep everyone updated on how I'm doing, but this is such a great little "side kick" if you will
