Isn't it amazing how fast the body wants to retain water after eating the carbs? I weigh in at the clinic every 3 -4 weeks. This helps me stay focus. But I so agree that with being dependant on the daily weighing to stay focused.

I feel to succeed I need to:
1) Stay focused. Make the weight loss and staying on plan my priority. Give it 101 % of my effort.
2) Stay away from trigger foods!
3) Keep my goal as to stay on plan. Not overly worry about the scale (since it has a mind of it's own) and concentrate on what I can control.
4) Work out ~ daily. To help the muscle tone and skin catch up as well as to keep the weight dropping.
5) Know that I can't do this by myself, I need help and support from my 'true' friends and family.
