Who figured out who that Biotch is i'm talking about?????
Yep, the scale. I keep hearing all kinds of mixed messages, that you should weigh daily, or weekly, or monthly or **** it not at all. See the scale scares the hell out of me, but some times she makes me so happy that in a fit of excitment I have to wipe her off because of the tears of joy that I spill on her.
Those of you who know me know of my fights with the scale and how one time she dropped kicked me an
So..... What to do.....What to do..... EFS is 3 week cycles so should I wait till the end of on cycle or should I do it once a week?
I'm not going to think about it right now, but I do want to know how often you guys interact with the enemy.

I think the happy medium for me is twice a week. Monday because my surgery was on a Monday. Thursday because my follow up dates are on Thursdays and I weigh myself before hand. Anything less frequent is inviting trouble.
Right now I am feeling worse than ever about my body with my hit or miss eating and even the easy part, my exercise is half assed. A daily weigh in keeps me focused so I eat and I work out better. Most important, my weight crept from a little over weight to mo when I abandoned the daily scale. I need the frequent objective measure.
But, another side a daily weigh in is depression. When it goes up daily even as I do the right thing, I feel hopeless and angry. Then I just want to eat poorly. Bad results, I may as well earn them right? Flip it and there is no better motivation than watching that scale decline. The more I loose the more focused my workouts and the stricter my diet is.
I'm a scale ***** It ownes me. I am trying to stick to twice a week but right now I'm afraid of it. My weight is up and I'm down right distraught but not knowing just makes things worse.
Ok, uhm, what was the question again?

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Lee...........For me, I guess I'm a fool for punishment, but me and that heefer belly up twice a day.....everyday! It fascinates me how my body changes throughout the cycle of the day. It's the very first thing I do when I wake up, and the last thing I do at night. On days off, I may monitor the changes from meal to meal and weigh 4x a day. But the flip side of that manic behavior is that I'm not a slave to it either. I sometimes fluctuate up and down between 2-8 lbs in a weeks time, or even up to 10 lbs. But I don't panic. I know there are things and behaviors, and stresses that feed into that range when it swings like that. For instance, if I'm not properly hydrating that day, I know I'll be up 3-5 lbs because I'm constipated and bloated. If I'm not taking in my vits or protein on the regular, I know I'll easily drop 6 lbs in the next 36 hours because I have no appetite. If I'm stressing about something It will drop. But I don't get bent out of shape over it. I haven't walked in two weeks and am up 7 lbs, so my arse will be back on the concrete this week to work it off. So I monitor my weight daily so that I can better understand the different numbers. But as long as I'm somewhere within that 5lb pocket, up or down......I'm good!
