in Health and Weight Loss
I know there is a challenge going to help people from doing this BUT I am one that needs to do so. I have to weigh in every morning. I got sick around the beginning of the month and was down almost 25 lbs, I was working out everyday and was doing really well then I got the horrible chest cold and haven't been able to do anything until last week I felt well enough that I could of BUT I couldn't seem to find the motivation to get back at working out and eating healthy so here I am a week later and I need to get back at it, today has been a good eating day but now I need a kick in the rear to get my workout done, I have gained back 6 lbs this month from being sick with chest cold/not eating right/not working out and I am not happy about it but it is my own fault. So now that I have rambled on long enough my point of this is I am going to post my weight everyday. I weigh the same time everyday with about the same amount of clothes on.

Starting MFP: 254.6
weight 2day: 235.8

    I'm right there with you. I was moving for the last two weeks so had no kitchen to work with and basically used that as an excuse to eat crap. And work got so busy that I didn't have time to get in my daily workout. I put on 5lbs in two weeks! How is it that it goes off so slow and comes back so fast?

    I weight myself every day too cause it keeps me on track when I do it. When I don't do it, that's when I get like I did last week.

    I say go for it! and I might even join you :happy:

    I'm a scale junkie too! I decided to just work harder to make sure it doesn't spike up. Except for TOM it is fairly consistently going down (even by ounces) daily. I know it's torture, but for me, I like to know where I'm at. Call me controlling!:smile:

    Ok, this morning was 160.6 but I went to Arby's with my son last night so I'll get those extra four ounces plus the 2 existing ones off by tomorrow morning. You betcha.
