i'm also a self-confessed scale-a-holic, its no good for anyone and whenever you drink loads of water or have something filling like a mousse, u always weigh heavier anyway! ifyou are going to jump on the scales every 5 minutes (like me!) u need to not become too disheartened with it as weight fluctuates massively throughout the day, even going in the bath or shower can add a lb or 2d. focus on the weekly result and the monthly measurements and you'll be ok! i posted a thread a week or so ago about my trousers falling down on me, i'd weighed in that week and only lost 2lbs, bit disappointed at first but when i realised that 3 weeks b4 i couldnt zip my size 14 trousers up and now they fit me lovely, i was much happier! the inch losses make a difference too you know!!
