how many times a week do u weigh in,& any1 do selfie progress?

Chances are its water weight. Drink more water. Keep carbs lower. It will be gone within a few days. As far as weigh ins I weigh myself daily and use a trend app (Libra). Taking the random scale weight does not show your true changes. Taking a weight each day (since chances are it will change daily depending on what the day before was like, TOM, DOMS, BMs) puts things in perspective when its averaged out.

I weigh in once a week (sat am), measure once a month (end of month), and do photo progress quarterly.

I have had a cold for 2 weeks now, and between the virus plus the medicines to make me feel half way human, I am up about 4-5 lbs in water weight...my rings are super tight and I feel totally bloated and gross...but it's just water, it will go away once I'm healthy again.

Don't fret the 2 lbs.

I'm obsessed. Every day. But, I focus as much on the exact number as I do a range. I give myself 2-3 pounds of fluctuation. I'm in maintenance mode so it helps when I might have a couple holiday meals or its just a water/bloat gain.

When I was losing weight, I got on the scale 3-4 times per week. But, I really focused on the week to week number on Monday's. I hit 3 plateaus over 8 months but just kept going and tried to switch up my eating and exercise routine to break through. It took 2-3 weeks typically to break out. Breaking out of the plateau I found I dropped 4-5 pounds at once where my week to week was about a pound to a pound and a half.

Honestly, use your clothes and the mirror. Even when I hit a plateau, I saw my body changing when the scale didn't. Yes, I'm a scale addict, but it isn't the only thing that matters. I'm 108 now (I'm 4'11") and fit into the same clothes just as well or better from 15 years ago when I had been 101. I'm not in the business of hitting 101 again. I'm in the business of staying healthy and looking good. 108 - 111 is where I look best - hubby thinks so too!

My weight can fluctuate 5lbs depending on how hydrated I am during the day. So I would not worry about the small things. Just keep with your calorie goals and you will be fine over the long term. this is not about 1 week or even 2 weeks. this is about the long term changes and sticking to them. nothing wrong with enjoying the holidays and taking a day off. Just get back to it the next day.
