If your easily discouraged, daily weighing in might cause you to give up if you do not see results fast! On the other hand, if you crave control and feedback, daily weighing in may satisfy your needs and make you more motivated! Whatever weigh in frequency you choose make sure the scale does not make you crazy. know that everyone is different, every ones body is different, every scale is different, and as long as you are working out AND eating better you will see results; it may just be a matter of time! Also, don't get discouraged with your weight loss; any loss is great and you are heading in the right direction to becoming a healthier you!Keep these tips in mind:
1. Weighing yourself in the morning is best. Because of the variations in food and fluid consumption, we often "gain" different amounts of weight throughout the day. IF you can --weigh in in the morning--meet me between 6:45 am and 7am and then head off to work!
2. If you're weighing frequently, remember that daily fluctuations in weight are common. Just because you're heavier today than yesterday does not mean your weight loss program in not working--it means we all lose at different times and weight changes daily!
3. Monthly variations in weight are also common in menstruating women.
4. "Plateaus" in weight loss aren't always bad. If you are exercising a lot, your weight may remain constant for a time even though you are still decreasing your body fat, losing inches, and getting healthier!
5. Finally, other than the numbers on the scale their are other important things to think about--How do you feel? Are your clothes getting looser? Do you feel stronger, HEALTHIER, leaner? The way YOU FEEL can be the most valuable tools to help you track your weight control and keep it off!
You have the TOOLS (meal plan, group training, friends and family & motivation) to lose weight and only YOU can do it! AND you can do--Great job everyone!
