Is it normal???

I know that I am not supposed to weigh myself everyday but I cannot help myself. I get frustrated because I will loose about a 1/2 lb per day for 3 or 4 days and then plateau for 3 or 4. I feel like it should be coming off faster and I don't understand what I am doing wrong on the plataeu days. I am measuring my food, drinking water....AHHHH!!! Any advice??? Please!!!

Yes, Its normal ...and YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!! I weigh every day too - I can't help it that is one of the down sides to weighing your self every day as oppossed to weekly or monthly. Hang in there! You are doing great ! If you take a peak at my profile - you can see a chart on how I lose ... I too feel like it should be coming off faster - BUT I am thrilled that its coming off and KNOW I WILL get to goal congrats on your weight loss so far - have you measured your self ??? if you haven't do it now. I know for me when the scale didn't move ...seeing my monthly measurements keep getting smaller and smaller feel GREAT! HUGS, Britt

Hi Kier... It is funny that you bring the scale obsession up... I just had the same conversation with Dr. Singh when I was there last week. He suggested I weigh monthly and not let it get me crazy.... LOL... Easier said than done... I have weened myself from the everyday routine though. I now usually weigh myself twice a week. It is less nerve racking this way... Hope you can find a comfortable compromise for yourself. Hugs.... Lori

You're going to drive yourself nuts. Get rid of the scale. If you can't have your partner hide it. If you weigh every 3-4 weeks you won't see highs/lows/plateaus. Give yourself a break and make it as easy as you can on yourself. Please...

Ditto. Hide the scale. Unless I have a total change of heart...I can't imagine weighing in everyday. It used to set the tone for the rest of the day if it was not what I expected. I can't deal with that. Take Care, Diane

Thank you so much all of you. I am glad to hear that the plataeus are normal. I will try to give up the scale obsession. maybe ween myself off slowly...LOL! Thank you again : )
