How often should I be weighing myself?
I don't want to end up becoming obsessed with the scale, but I'm also not sure how often I should be weighing myself (seeing as I don't even have a scale at home.) Do I just log my weight whenever I go to the doctors? Should I buy a digital scale?

I’ve tried a lot of restrictive dieting in the past, for example extended juice fasts to lose weight since nothing else seemed to work. It’s nice to know that I can still enjoy the foods I like and lose weight as long…

Training Question
I need to lose over 100 lbs. Is it true that the best method is a combination of weight training (light weights, high reps) and cardio each time? (Cardio is fast walk on treadmill to cool down.)

Getting discouraged, how do you cope?
Even though I've lost 72lbs I'm still over weight. Just looking in the mirror I can't tell a difference now vs. at my heaviest. I'm just feeling frustrated that I've come so far and still have so much more to go. I get to thinking that I'll never be able to look how I picture myself in my head, because I've been overweight…
