I'm in. I had a low-calorie high exercise day yesterday and I'm up a pound today! I suppose constipation, water retention, and other factors are all in play, but it definitely affects me emotionally the entire day.

SandyDown it's not about denial...it's about removing the psycholigical impetus that affects the attitude. As long as I am eating without cheating, I know I will lose. Period. And the weeklyweigh-in is the reward for focusing on my WOE instead of whether or not I burned enough fat or evacuated enough food/water to lose from one day to the next.

I recently started a thread that polled others about how often they weigh and I was shocked to see how many folks get on the scale more than once a day. At some point it moves from ritual to obsession, and that's not healthy.

I'm not willing to wait until Mother's day to weigh myself, but I am switching to weekly weigh-ins.
