Weird

Morning weigh-in: 193.5

Ah yes, I'm back down despite eating french fries yesterday! I didn't eat that many of them-- so that's good. My blog has changed colors again because apparently the last template wouldn't let people comment, and I like to have running commentary whenever applicable. So, welcome back!

We had a discussion yesterday about me starting to weigh myself less than every day. This is probably a good idea. Although weighing myself every day helps me to get up and blog and feel responsible for what's going on in my weight-loss life. Maybe I'll keep weighing myself every day and only write it down on like Mondays and Fridays. Don't know.

My weight has been really fluctuating lately, here is what the "Big Chart" looks like right now: and you can clearly see that for the past few weeks I have been STUCK. Various things to be angry at here: The Red River, my ankle, school. Or you know, I could own up that I haven't done all I can to lose weight this past month.

I think I need to re recommit.

Hi Liz,
Keep at it. I've found I really need to weigh myself every day to keep myself honest and on track.

I'm using the site below to track my weight and body fat % from my scale. It evens out the ups and donws and shows you you the trends.
It does a lot more if you want but I really just use it for the weight.

You can make your profile public or private so you could even link to it from your blog. Also if you miss weigh in days it extrapolates your weight for the missing weigh in days. Do with it what you want, just thought I would pass it along. Keep up the great work.

You really should consider weighing yourself less because weight can fluctuate a lot throughout the day. I could "gain" and "lose" 5 pounds in one day!

Maybe weigh yourself only once a week instead, always on the same day. You are more likely to see a pattern, and you'll less likely feel discouraged by those "gains". I can see why you would feel like it's necessary, but those ups and downs you see from day to day are usually water weight. So, unless you eat 3500+ calories over your maintenance calories, I doubt it's actually a weight gain.

Weight loss, if you are doing it the correct and healthy way, will take a long time. Keep up the good work though, you are making a lifestyle change and that is a hard thing to do.
