:shock: Hun, step aside and put teh scales down. I wouldnt weigh myself every day, stick to every other day or once a week, the weight shed will be a bigger surprise then...

Ah, but I'm a real victim of weight fluctuations so weigh myself daily to keep track of them.

Let me tell you the full story:


A couple years ago, when I'd finally kicked the evil weed and wanted to get the subsequent weight gain off again, I went to Weight Watchers. I didn't weigh myself and was only weighed at my meeting. Anyway, I'd been super good all week and was sure I'd have a loss. I climbed on the scale and she said I'd put on 2 lbs. I was gutted and it took every ounce of willpower I had not to clean out the fridge by shovelling it all down my throat.

Anyway, the next night, before my shower, I weighed myself, still in shock, and found that, since the night before, I found I'd lost 4 lbs. So, instead of a 2 lb gain I'd actually LOST 2 lbs. So, I weighed myself every night at the same time as my meeting. I found that I had these really weird weight spikes of up to 3 or 4 lbs, every couple of weeks.

So, a few weeks later, I was off to my meeting, weighed myself before hand and found I was on a weight spike, so was fully prepared when, at my meeting, she said I'd gained. I knew it was just a blip and I was fine.

Imagine if I'd not weighed myself and didn't know that would be the outcome?




It makes no sense to me when people say not to weigh yourself everyday, ESPECIALLY considering that, the day you happen to weigh yourself, you could be having a spike. Nope, I'd rather stay on top of it and understand my body.

I see your point, and if only I too could take my own advise I am an every other day lass). I have also sussed out the perfect place to weight myself in the bathroom. I wondered how I could have put on half a stone, and thought, after stripping nekid and still no movement from that dreaded needle, that maybe the floor was to blame, and lo and behold, the scales differed by half a stone as to where I stood in the bath room, so natch I now have my weighing in area mapped out.

I do however tend NOT to weight myself at that time of the month. as I know I can give a hippo a run for its money.
