..this is my question! When you are dieting do you find it helps you to weight yourself - prehaps every day, or week? I am not sure if it is a good idea. If the weight is dropping off, i can see that it would be beneficial, and would encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. But if you were working really hard and your weight wasn`t changing- i find it very disheartening. Not to mention if you put weight on.
If i don`t weight myself, as soon as i start eating healthy, i feel great (and slimmer!) It must be a mental thing .
Maybe the answer is to weigh in less often, then the probability of losing weight would be higher, and i would feel inspired to carry on. In fact, another great method to keep track of your progress, is to measure yourself, ie- your waist, thighs, or any areas you consider to be your 'problem' areas . The only issue i can see with that is it maybe being a bit unaccurate - one thing going for the scales is - i guess they never lie!! (although i would like to think they did.!)
What methods of measuring progress do you find motivating and effective!?
