So I’m down 105lbs since last October, but since I’m closer to my goal weight, I’ve noticed things like water weight skew my weight loss a lot, especially after heavy weight lifting days, my body will hold on to a ton of water. That paired with only weighing a couple times a week, sometimes you miss the lows and you only catch the high fluctuations, making you feel like you’re spinning your wheels. Well I decided to start weighing daily and tracking the averages. It is soooo much less anxiety driving, because I’m just collecting data points at this point rather than basing my entire mood/motivation on if the scale moved down. And by weighing every day, you’re going to catch those new lows that you otherwise could have missed only weighing a once or twice a week. Plus when I see the weights plotted on a graph I can see what days I tend to fluctuate up and down and it correlates with my heavy weight lifting days, where my body is kind of inflamed and recovering. The harder part is is making sure I’ve emptied both bowel and bladder every morning before I weigh, so I started adding a fiber supplement at night, and that helps me go first thing in the morning. If you’re having anxiety with the scale and feeling unmotivated try weighing daily for a few weeks and taking the averages, it really is a whole different perspective!
