This is a friendly and supportive group. We celebrate victories, both scale and non-scale. We cheer for you for keeping on going in the wake of adversity. We wait patiently every day with you who have slow losses. Everyone is welcome to join right in at any time.

Start by putting the date and then your weight. Each day, copy and paste your entry from the day before and add that day's weight. (Hint: an easy way to do this is to hit "quote" in your previous post, then delete the 2 quote tags at the beginning and end of your new post. This will preserve any formatting and smilies you had.) It's a good way to keep a record of your progress.

Why Weigh Daily?

• Gives you a sense of accountability and a reminder to be cognizant of your daily choices
• Helps you monitor conditions that can cause rapid fluctuations: edema, dehyrdation, side effects of medications, PMS, etc
• Helps you to become desensitized to normal fluctuations and periods of little or no weight loss
• You're able to "catch" a new low, or beginning of a trend upward, that might escape you if you weigh less frequently.

Daily weighing isn't for everyone, and that's okay, too. It's probably not a good idea if it would cause you undue anxiety and unhappiness when the scale isn't budging as fast as you'd like or expect.
