Another newbie with some questions

[Soon to be yummy mummy]

hi guys, i started xenical yesterday, and no side effects at all, had about 22g of fat all day....so pleased so far and WAS feeling really motivated, but i ((stupidly)) got on the scales - i havent lost anything! i know its only been a day, but surely there should be SOME change?? or should i just quit the serial weighing and not weigh til my WI next wed?

Its only one day, and besides our weight fluctuates daily ( due to fluid changes). I think its unrealistic to see a weightloss within 24 hours, so yes I think you should quit with the serial weighing. Stick to once a week, same time of day, and with roughly the same clothes. I weigh once a week, on a Monday morning, first thing ( and just after I've been to the loo ).
I know its really hard not to become obsessive about weighing ourselves all the time (been there, got the tshirt ), but really we dont do ourselves any favours by doing it.
Hang in there

thanks alibalibee! you're right! think im gonna throw the scales out! lol! just scared im not doing things right...after years of yo-yo dieting im SO confused at whats good / bad and dont want the disappointment of no weight loss at WI!

Gonna make a promise to stay off the scales for a week at least!
