Baby steps. Try cutting down to once a day first, for example. Then maybe once every other day.
Although, in my opinion, as long as it isn't freaking you out, it doesn't matter how often you weigh yourself. The only time it matters is if it is having a negative effect on you mentally.
This. I weigh myself everyday and track in on a weight trend app. That way, the daily fluctuations don't bother me as much, as long as I see it going down over time.
I do only log the loss in MFP though, so they feel like victories!
I do exactly the same thing. Happy Scale app for daily logging, losses get added to MFP.
My smart scale is connected to MFP so while it does not announce when I gain weight, it announces every loss and looks like I am losing more than I am, for instance if I gain a couple lbs water weight one day and it is gone the next it announces the 2 lb loss even though it might be the same weight I was two days ago.0 -

Thanks for keeping the thread alive. I am sorry that you are bored. Your boss annoys me almost as much as my own, but for the opposite reason.
18 months ago, she hired a new employee whom I trained on occupational medicine billing, supposedly to help me so that I could work on other projects. 14 months ago she gave the new employee all of the occ med and put me on even more other projects (opening new clinics, financial analysis, collecting the oldest Accounts Receivable because the research involved in proving that yes, insurer XYZ does owe us more money doesn't bother me). I only back J up when she is out. Except that while I was doing other projects, the A/R for my occ med clinics went up by 700%!!! I was never allowed to help when it would have been easy, but now I have to work mandatory overtime and can't do any other work until it's back to where I had it before or better.
When I ask you, did I become a draft horse to be hitched to the heaviest wagon and used to pull it out the ditch? and if I am in fact being used as a draft horse, why doesn't the boss treat me as well as POF treats her horses?
Where I work if you prove that you can do the job they give you more. There is no barometer for how hard you worked to get it done.
Positive follow up - I told my boss yesterday I was bored and he wants me to learn the job of a co-worker to relieve some of his stress, so yippee, no more boring work days for a while!0 -

I got my hair all chopped off last month, and now I wish I'd gotten it cut shorter.
Then, over the weekend, after being a blonde for 16-17 years, I colored my hair red. It was time for a change!
It's only hair, it will grow back... Apparently, mine grows an inch per week.
Awesome! Do you like having red hair? Have you put a pic up?0 -

I thought it looked redder. Change is good! And yay! For red hair! I know you did it for Halloween but I didn't realize you were keeping it - good for you.0 -

When you are competent and get the work done quickly, you win more work. When you are incompetent and the boss has to ride you (you like what I did there?) to get anything done, you will get less work because it's easier for the boss to give it to the competent people.
I've been guilty of doing this. I try not to, but sometimes I still do.
But if the better employees also get the opportunities and the bonuses and the bigger raises and promotions then I don't see a problem.0 -

Sorry POF. I haven't posted a pic. I have not got around to it. I usually run when I see a camera so posting a picture of myself is akin to getting a tooth pulled0 -

Thats me, but since I'm usually the one behind the camera I don't get much exercise from it.0 -

Me too as I don't like the way I look in pics. Especially "selfies" as the facial angle is always off.

Incidentally I got my hair cut too. 6 inches and its still longer than shoulder length. I meant to cut it before summer but never got around to it. Evidently I hadn't cut my hair since February. Boy do I feel light headed.0
