I LOVED updating my ticker during my weight loss. It was a great motivator for me
Every time I had a lower weight stick, I practically ran to my computer or used my phone to update my ticker. It really kept me on plan!
Use the ticker as a motivator to stick to it
It's almost as if you get to show off your weight loss to the entire world without being a pain to those around you

Update your ticker once a week as well. You shouldn't really gain much if you're still dieting/exercising during the week, so you won't have to worry about that anymore. I don't understand the obsession with weighing daily to be honest. It's weird, lol.
No, not really. Daily weighing might not work for YOU, but it does work for a lot of people. It's not "weird," it's another way to track your progress.
I love it. I love keeping track of my weight every day and graphing it in Excel. I've learned my body's patterns and I can almost successfully predict what I see on the scale now just based on how I feel. If I know I didn't drink enough water after a heavy workout day, I usually can
feel the extra weight and usually know I'll see a small gain. I'm almost always right. I've also been able to successfully predict losses within a few days.
Just because something is weird to you doesn't mean it doesn't work for someone else. Personally I could never do weekly weighing. It wouldn't keep me on track and for all I know I could weigh during a random uptick, but I wouldn't be aware of that if I only weighed once a week.
