The best way to judge your weight loss is to weigh every day and then add the weights up for the week, divide by 7 and get the average weight for that week. Compare that average to the average of the week before. That will show a more accurate picture of your weight loss over time.

Think about this: in anatomical terms, the GI (gastrointestinal--throat stomach intestines colon) tract is considered EXTERNAL to the body. Would you weigh yourself holding a couple of thick books in your hands? Get rid of as much "external" as you can! :lol:

This is an interesting approach. AND it keeps my brain cells from deteriorating! Shrink the fat cells while you're growing brain cells. I think I like it! Thanks, Katrina!

What I would like to know is ~ IS IT AGAINST THE LAW TO RE-WEIGH? and if it isn't against the law, is it mandatory to use the second weigh-in IF in fact it is MORE than the original?

Hey EZ, how big are your cups of coffee? Because only 8 ounces is, well, half a pound! :eek: I wait until after I weigh to drink water or coffee. But, I don't have the patience to wait for ummm the movement of the day.
