The weight struggle

How often are you going to weigh yourself.?

I've never been a veggie eater either, but I'm having a salad for lunch.

I rarely weigh myself as it is lol. I'm convinced my scale is broken because it will tell me I'm a different weight every day, even when I weigh myself in the morning before eating anything with no clothes on. I'll be 134 one day and the next day I'll be 130. I don't think I lose four pounds in a day lol. So until my mom buys a new scale, I'm not really going to bother weighing myself. I don't think it matters how much I weigh, as long as I look good!

With all of the muscle I'll be gaining, I'll weigh more anyways. I've been doing more muscle exersises lately.

Sorry I keep butting in, but I've been 'dieting' since last July and one thing that's pretty consistent in all diets is you should only weigh yourself once a week, same time each week wearing similiar types of clothing. Weight certainly does fluctuate up to 5 pounds in a day. To get the lightest weight, best to weigh yourself first thing in the morning wearing as little as possible (only once a week though). But to get a true sense of loss each week, you only need keep the similiar circumstances - for instance - weigh yourself every Friday evening an hour after dinner, wearing jeans.
