    Great Job on your weight loss!! Positive thinking is always best, and it makes you feel better :) Sometimes, people tend to feel more down or disappointed when they see slight weight gain one or 2 days, but remember our weight fluctuates day to day . It is best to weight yourself once a week, not everyday. Although often we are tempted. Everyone should remember, whether its water balance, toxins not flushed, sodium intake, or protien absorption etc it all takes times to flush out of our systems and balance out our body. Don't fret and Don't weight yourself everyday. Its always better to see you lost 4 pounds one wk instead of lost 6 and then gained 2... It just causes disappointment.

    I weigh myself everyday just to see the fluctuations, but only really count what I see once a week. I'd be scared to weigh only once a week, and have it be a day were you are heavier!

    I'm on the same page here. I know it isn't a linear progression, that there will be ups and downs, but as long as I see a downward "trend" I'm happy. Some days I will be down a pound, but yesterday I was up. Strangely enough, because I have been diligently weighing myself, I can recognize this as normal and not get depressed or give up. I know that by eating the way I should and exercising, the trend will continue in my favor, regardless of daily fluctuations. HOWEVER I think it would be harder to be pragmatic if I only weighed myself every one or two weeks, and weigh-in day was a heavier day. This really depends on your personality though, and maybe where you are starting from in your weight journey.

    I weigh daily as well and record when my weight drops. Might go back up the next day but eventually it drops a little bit lower than my last official check in. I weight daily because I NEED to. When I'm gaining weight I don't weigh daily, weekly or bi-weekly. It's my way of ignoring what's happening. So daily weigh-in for me is accountablility. But I only record when my weight drops below my last low weight, however many days or weeks that is.
