I was reading another blog about the owners weight loss journey the other day and they stated that they weigh themselves every morning. They believe that it keeps them on track with their weight loss and that they now know - since they have been doing it for awhile - what to expect given what they did food/exercise-wise the day before.
I have heard of people doing that - my Dad was one to do it - but I have also heard that it is not a good thing to do. The nay sayers reckon that you become fixated on what the scales show, and that it is not actually accurate as your body will fluctuate weight-wise each day. They say it is the overall amount that counts, not the daily amount.
So if it is the overall amount that matters, then why weigh yourself weekly?? Why not do it say monthly? If you are eating to lose weight and exercising to lose weigh then weighing monthly - or even less frequently - would be ok. Wouldn't it?
So for the past couple of days I have weighed myself daily. I have not moved a bit. But my scales only show weight in 100 gram increments, so maybe I have lost - or gained - less than 50 grams each day and it has yet to register. But either way I am at 107.3 kilos. Not bad considering I thought last weeks measurement was a glitch in the scales. Who loses 1.4kilos after 8 weeks into their program? When they are doing the exact same thing as what they did a month ago?
