I think I am going to throw my scale in the garbage, and only weigh myself at the gym on weigh-in day. I weigh myself everyday, 2X a day and I am driving myself crazy! Anyone else ever obsessed with the scale?

I know this feeling! I used to be obsessed with the scale, but in one week I find it varies dramatically day to day, and also depending on the time of day, weight of clothing, what I've been doing before I weighed! So now I only do an official weigh in once a week, occasionally I'll weigh once or twice mid week on the gym scales but more out of curiosity and I have to swear to myself that I only go by the end of week weigh in and don't let them sway me, it's so easy to get disheartened by a bigger than anticipated number so if it's getting to you I'd try to cut down on how much you check!

Thought I had posted yesterday but can't find my post now. I'm a newbie so perhaps I didn't do it correctly!
Anyway..would like to be a late joiner please.

Hoping to break through that 200 barrier!!

Me too! I have been stuck yoyoing from 207-218 for over a year now. Can't seem to get it below. I have not been trying my hardest so I'm hoping this challenge will help me get off my *kitten*!

Good luck all. I do my weigh in on Fridays.

I don't weigh myself anymore except every 2 weeks at weigh in-I focus more on how my clothes fit and feel because the number game seemed to negatively impact my psyche and motivation - my clothes don't lie and a few ounces or even a pound up or down has no impact - just focus on healthy habits and forget the scale

I haven't checked in since the start!

It's been a rotten week for weather here, and I've not been able to get out for my daily walks. Yesterday we spent 6 hours in the car! However, I've been eating clean and alcohol free, so I'm sure the scale will catch up with me, especially as the weather forecast is for better weather this week. Onwards and downwards!!
