Hi Bizi,

You have made some tremendous accomplishments and I am sorry you have had a set-back on your physical activity abilities due to recent injury. Hope you will soon be back to all you want to do.

It is amazing how much a person's weight can fluctuate during the day. Mine can change anywhere from 2 to 5 pounds during the day so I personally don't worry about it until I compare the very first in the morning results with those same times and conditions on other days over the course of a week.

There are varying viewpoints on how often one should weigh, especially if they are trying to lose weight. For me, I found that weighing everyday helpful to keep from extra pounds showing up unexpectedly and then hard to get off. I will weigh every single day for a time just to be sure it is not creeping up on me. Then, I won't weigh except every week or so just because I forget or get out of the routine. For me, it is just easier to see a gradual increase than get surprised with a 15 pound increase that just suddenly appeared in the absence of watching the scale.

Getting on a scale was not part of my routine until I became disabled and unable to be physically active. That is when the weight started to accumulate, clothes became smaller or so it seemed (Ha Ha), and I had to begin watching the scale. If I don't do it regularly, the weight will really increase while my back is turned.

This is the first time I have posted to this forum on NT but I have seen some of your posts in other forums. Just want to congratulate you on your successes.

With the help of members and friends I have found on NT, since I first joined, I have been able to drop the "less" from my name.

Was nice to chat with you. Keep up the great work and hope you are soon over your injury.

Hope
