Pickles, you CAN do this. we have your back. it took me a long time to get my mind right so that i would commit to do this. now that it is i AM going to reach my goal. WE CAN DO THIS... and we will. stay with it and stay with us here.  

Thanks, all :)  

I weigh myself daily, too. I feel it helps me stay on track. Of course, there will be fluctuations, but too many "up" days and I know I need to make adjustments. I only log my weight on here once a week to keep a good schedule going. Love your profile pic!  

I only weigh in on Monday mornings. My reasoning is because of the fluctuations that occur naturally. If my scales shows a 2 pound drop by Thursday, my psyche convinces me that it's okay to eat that brownie or cookie or whatever. By avoiding the scale accept for Monday, it keeps me honest in what I'm eating and journaling. Whatever the scale shows, I record it. Since I'm in this for the long haul, I know the scale will level out as the weeks go by. This is what is working for me so far. It may not be the strategy for you. Stick with your plan. 

I think the weighing everyday works for some people. It keeps them very aware of if they are progressing or failing. It's easier to correct a day's worth of gain then a week's worth of gain.
