Week 1 I didn't weigh myself at home at all, and waited for the "official" WI at the chemist.
Week 2, stunned by the wk1 results I just couldn't help myself, first thing every morning strip off, jump on, and write it down. Daily weight-loss has ranged from 1/2lb to 1.5lb, and seems to average at about 3/4lb a day. The bigger weight loss following a day where I have been to the gym. Its not only just to see how the weight is doing, I was keen to see what affect the previous days activities had on the process - i.e. good to know the pain and agony of going to the gym is not wasted!
However, this morning I jump on the scales, and the weight is exactly the same as yesterday (very good reliable and accurate scales) which is a bit demorolising, as I can't see how being on just 500cal a day and being fairly active, doesn't lead to some form of weight loss, regardless of how small. The fact there has been a steady daily loss has been the single most important motivating factor in keeping me going through the tough bits.
Should there be continual daily weight loss?
Is it phycologically dangerous to weigh every day, or is it best to know its working to keep the early days motivation up?
Do you weigh at home or wait for "official" WI?
