    Yesterday: 123 lbs.
    Maintenance range: 120 to 125 lbs.

    I usually check my weight once or twice a week. This week however, I only checked my weight once. And I am tempted not to check it at all if I am just doing the same thing to maintain my weight. The scale reading really isn't changing, and I feel it physically when I am gaining or losing weight at this point. Do you know what I mean? Do you go a week or two without checking your weight if your diet consistently supports your maintenance goals?

    @erjones11 giving yourself license to eat back exercise calories is tough - I definitely get that! You're doing great, though, and look to have stabilized where you'd like to be. Well done!

    Have a great week, everyone!

    Thanks Ben

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Wasn't to sure which weight to put down on Saturday I was down to 132.2. I knew my weight would be up today my official weigh in day due to attending a fundraiser dinner which didn't start till 7 and dinner was late. In my head I know the weight is up (although down from last week) due to food still in my system and I had a few drinks. I've been out walking more over 28 miles logged this week and this isn't counting all the walking I did at work. Have a great week.

    I just put down my AVERAGE for the seven days of daily weight. There's even more elegant ways to get a number that smooths out the fluctuations like Trendweight or WeightGrapher. You could report your trending weight or just an average. Check out the Hackers Diet for more information . There's a group on here that has a "True Weight Challenge" where you enter your weight each day, and it calculates a geometric mean rolling average. Very nice! I wrote a longer explanation about this an another chat. I'm sure it would be fine to post an average here.
