I don't know. My home scale battery is on the outs. I could use my boyfriend's scale, which accurately reflects fluctuations and ups and downs, but it drives me crazy because I've been using my scale as the "official" number since January.

It's really stupid, especially for someone who doesn't *need* to lose weight - all that matters is that I'm not GAINING or busting out of my clothes.

I have weighed every day in the past, but historically I know that it takes about 36 hours for my eating habits to be reflected in the number on the scale. I am starting with calorie counting again today, and I am going to see if I can get myself to weigh once a week (or possibly twice a week, but definitely NOT daily) to try to smooth out the progression in my head. I get discouraged in a hurry when the number on the scale doesn't reflect what I did the day before, even though I KNOW it doesn't work like that for me!
