I'm over this scale...
I think I'm totally done using the scale as a measure of my weight-loss. I'm officially mad at it and at my body.
The main reason is my weight fluctuates so much when I have any form of alcohol, and takes about three days or so to get back to normal. I will often have a beer with dinner or go out with friends (budgeted into my calorie allowance, of course), so there may be weeks where I can't get a good/accurate read of the scale. And that bugs me.
(This is not to say I *can't* go without beer twice a week. I just choose not to.)
Even when I take alcohol weight into account, I can't be completely sure it's correct because sometimes a night out will have an effect on me and sometimes it won't. Same with a beer or glass of wine with dinner.
The only problem now is how do I measure my progress? Inches and clothes sizes aren't as good since it takes more than a pound or five to see results. In short, no immediate gratification. Hmf.
Any suggestions?
