Logging My Weight Loss Almost Daily?!

This Sparked Me!

This may not be a helpful "secret" to some,but I'd thought I'd share it anyway.I log in on a calendar my weight/body fat almost every day because I want to SEE my progress.Now I've been told muscle weighs MORE than the loss of fat and it's too soon to see weight loss,unrealistic expectations,etc.

MORE INFORMATION:
But the truth is,I DON"T weigh myself when I have overindulged the day before or if I don't have time {early yoga class}.But I AM CONSISTENT-when I weigh,what I don't wear, and not eating or drinking beforehand. It remains for ME-A PROGRESS CHART! And it DOES MOTIVATE ME!Maybe it will help you....

    Another way to do this is to average your daily weights and track the weekly average - this helps minimize the daily variation but keeps the daily accountability/motivation/da

    I know people that have lost over a 100 lbs and they weigh daily to keep them on track.

    You will also see results if you take your body measurements (waist, thigh, arm, etc) on a weekly and monthly basis. emoticon
