I agree! I have a weekly "bounce up" every darned week like clockwork. I am a daily weigher, because it helps me with accountability. I have a weekly goal of 2 pounds (a little under 1%) that is totally arbitrary - I don't think I can do anything more than eat clean and avoid alcohol to hasten my weight loss. That's what worries me, when people depend on the scale and then tweak like crazy when they don't need to. When I think I'm losing too slowly, I look at a few success stories, just the before and after pictures. If it takes me a year to be an "after," so what???? I can either be at 200+ or 140 at that time next year - I'd prefer the latter!!! Even days like today when I get an uptick, I just say to myself, "218 or 206, which would you prefer?" That helps my mental attitude a LOT.
