I lost 8.5 pounds the first week on induction. Then it took another 10/11 days before I lost some more weight - 2.5 pounds. After that I decided it was to frustrating to watch my weight go up and down by a pound so I figured I would weigh myself weekly instead. So I weighed in today and of course have lost nothing. Now I'm wondering if I should have kept track daily, I might have pushed myself harder during the week if I'd known I wasn't losing.

I am very good with tracking what I eat, I have a postage scale that keeps tabs on the ounces. I track in fitday and try to keep my carbs to about 20 per day. Sometimes I go over but not that much. The calories are usually under 1500, averaging about 1300 most days. So I think my diet is fine, i.e. I'm not cheating etc and I don't want to eat less. The only improvement might be in increasing my exercise. I've been trying to get at least 40 minutes in - 5 days a week.

My question is this: how many of you weigh daily or weigh weekly? Do you find it's easier on you mentally to do it once a week or do you find it more motivating to weigh everyday? What I mean is if I thought I was going to drop a pound I might be motivated to do an extra-long workout that day in the hopes that the pound would stay lost instead of creeping back on the scale the next day.

Does this work for anyone or is it a case of pointless futility? It's pretty frustrating watching the scale go up and down but then it's also discouraging seeing it not budge after a whole week - thinking you're going to lose and then you don't. I really don't know which is worse.

Any input muchly appreciated
