[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 1927667, member: 232698"] I weigh every day at the moment. In the past I've stopped weighing when I was on a gain trend and then weighed obsessively when trying to lose. Unfortunately I've been around the block a few times in my life, so with bingeing, starving and yo-yo-ing I know the number on the scales only matters as a way of keeping an eye on my general trend. I have put starving behind me, but still struggle with bingeing. I find that the number on the scale varies by as much as 2kg, sometimes even more, when I am maintaining over a month or more. I don't subscribe to the "it will put you off if you see the scale go up" and "no wonder you can't successfully lose weight, you're weighing yourself too often" way of thinking. By the same reasoning, I don't get over-excited if I see the scale go down, but use the long-term trends on my fitbit. I find it helps to ground me. Each to their own. [/QUOTE]
