The night before weigh in. I'm praying for a loss. I had a good week but I sit here and wonder....did I do enough? Was my week as good as I think? Did I drink enough water? Are my calories on point?

Ugh......

    No matter what the scale does, just keep doing what you’re doing! You got this!!!!

    That's why I weigh every morning and use a weight trending app. More data points equals less stressing about the individual fluctuations, in my case. Try not to stress about it too much!

    I also weigh myself every day and get to know my fluctuation patterns. Once you start tracking regularly, you can usually see why the little ups and downs happen. :)

    This. Because here’s the thing...even if you do everything right, are logging with as close to 100% accuracy as possible, you AREN’T going to see a loss every single time. You need to oook at the overall trend, not just what happens between point A and point B.

    Give your all to your food diary. You track? If you do you know how you did. It’s there in black and white.

    No I don’t mean the calories, I mean the the diary itself. It’s the only thing you really have control over. As you point out, we can’t control the scale. Try as we might we can’t cause and effect our way to weight loss. But we can facilitate it. Tracking facilitates weight loss. If you tracked all week, you did your best.

    Last- I have a friend who made this point- over time we get the weigh in we deserve, but not necessarily when we expect it.
