  • I am a daily weigh-iner.


    I know many people say this is bad, because it is so influenced by what you ate that day, the day before, by when you last made a poop or if you've drank a lot of water..
    but for me, that's part of the point. I weigh in everyday as an indication of how well I'm doing food-wise from day to day so I can tell what tweaks I might need (i.e. avoid sodium more, each more roughage to poo more...).


    I started weighing in everyday on March 28th, 2008. I was down 21.6lbs from my start weight of 192.8 on January 31st, 2008. About two months to lose more than 20lbs - not bad!


    I had passed my 10% weigh in as well as my 10lb and 20lb markers.


    I passed 30lbs down on April 27, 2008. A month to lose ten more pounds.


    Today I finally weighed in as down 40lbs! This morning I weighed in at 152.2. It took 3 months to lose these ten pounds. Way longer. Admittedly, I've been a bit more relaxed in my weigh loss - taking it easier on myself since Amy's wedding is over and I'm no longer having an impending dress to be pictured in.


    I have fifteen more pounds or so that I plan to lose - that takes me down to under 140lbs. At this rate, I should be there around October! We'll see how I feel when I get there!

  • I've always weighed daily. I think it's the best way to monitor weight changes, like you said. I also feel that my weight is less likely to get out of control if I keep a close eye on it.

    Those pounds get trickier as you weigh less. Keep up the awesome work!

  • See, I think that's how I let myself get heavier because I *NEVER* weigh myself. It's just that SUDDENLY, my clothes felt tight. Ugh.

    I hope to follow in your footsteps. I've lost ten, and am maintaining that. But I have 30 more to go to be at my drop-dead-gorgeous weight.

  • Oh and duh!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Well done, well done. You are very motivating. 

  • Congrats on the weight loss!!!

    I weigh in several times a week, although probably not daily. I agree with the whole discipline thing being more easily guided when little changes--0.5 pounds up or down can really guide intake and exercise.
