Fabulous flabless February *grin*

I am another get weighed every day girl but it does leave me with mixed feelings. Obviously I am always glad to see a loss and sometimes expect to see a gain when I've overeaten. The times it leaves me really disheartened is when I think I've been good and nothing's moved (been like that this week - been good all week but no loss so far :mad:) Official weigh day will be Sunday

I also weigh daily, it's a habit of mine since I did Atkins 2 years ago. But I also think it spurs me on when I see that I am losing - it makes me feel good. I have lost 2lbs in 2 days which is normal for me. I have an incredibly fast metabolism until I hit 'the wall' (a longish period without weight loss) then I think most catch up with me!

Hi all

I have been pretty bad today... ate a lot, and then went to my mum's after work so haven't been to the gym!!! But I will pick myself up again and get back into the saddle (so to speak). I am going to be so good this weekend, and do lots of resistance stuff (tricep dips, press ups, bicep curls, squats, bum raises etc).

Hi Everyone, can I please join you guys I only have a few pounds to lose (3) but now have a new man in my life and eating out to be sociable so losing 3 pounds will be like pushing an elephant up a hill

Only 3lbs, I envy you!

OK, I think we have established that MEN are the root of all weight gain... :rotfl:

I do this too, but only first thing in the morning (after the loo and before the first cup of tea!)as the fluctuations within a day make it a real nonsense otherwise. I know it's not sensible re overall losses, but it does keep me focussed. Any silly self-destruct phases take place when I'm avoiding the scales and the damage that can be wreaked in a week can be quite :eek:. So on balance for me, an early morning daily weigh-in helps me stay focussed!

ETA I suppose that's the opposite of what you're saying though, if a pound on throws you off track! Why not put the scales away in the back of a wardrobe or on a high shelf and get them out once a week?

I never weighed myself when I was slim, well maybe once every 3-4 months. I went by my clothes and noted every little change, and worked to correct it. Then, when I started trying to lose weight, I got a bit obsessed and weighed every day. Now I have got it down to once a week and sometimes FORGET to WI!!! I think I might go back to weighing in every couple of days, it does tend to keep me on the straight and narrow. p.s. I always WI in the morning for consistency.

Welcome to all the newbies!!! :A

Maldives Lover, just read your JL thread, what a total nightmare!!!!! Really hope you get it all sorted pet xoxoxo

Night all

Had a quick WI this morning and I appear to have lost 4lb since Tuesday, I am putting that down to the stress of dealing with John Lewis and the faulty TV we have.

It's still 3 days til my official WI in though so enough time to undo all the good I've done this week:mad:

I'm pretty annoyed tbh, £900 for a TV that's faulty after 6 weeks and John Lewis won't do anything. On the upside I appear to have lost 4lb since Monday and I have JL to thank for that.

Hi again

3lbs does not sound much but I should have made it a little clearer the 3lbs is what is needed to take me to my goal of a 7 stone loss. :j when I started to lose weight I was 16s 13lbs and now I am 10s 2lbs. - It can be done..........

Wow, pinkflamingo that's seriously impressive!

Well done on the 4lbs!!! Don't slack now, think how good you'll feel at WI when you're still 4lbs down!

Strange about JL, their customer service is usually very good. I will keep everything crossed for you xo

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing! :T:T:T:T:T:T

Good luck with the last 3lbs, I agree that it is the hardest but you have already climbed a mountain, you can do it.

Right, must have brekkie (I've been up for 2 hours but not really hungry yet).
