I would join in, but I only get weighed every couple of months, so I wouldn't have a lot to report, lol. xx

Yes, so about every 8 weeks. I'm going on Tuesday to see how I've done in the last couple of months! x

It's very freeing actually, lol. I have a history of eating disorders going back 30 years, and at one point would weigh myself obsessively, almost starved myself, and dropped down to 8.5 stone, which at almost 5'9" was considerably underweight! I would rather not risk that kind of obsession again, plus I find regular weigh ins very demoralising due to the naturally fluctuating nature of body weight, whereas in a couple of months it's bound to drop if you behave, lol. xx

Oh, absolutely - different things work for different people! I think I'll start either weekly or daily weighing once I get to a healthy BMI, just to make sure it doesn't creep back up, but for now this is suiting me down to the ground. When I think that my weight has fluctuated by 13 stone between the ages of 20 and 50, it makes me very keen to get it right this time.

Not such a fat kat now :)
It's not easy is it ? There's no right or wrong way. I used to oy weigh once a week. But with my new fsngled scales I do weigh daily in kg but only convert them on Sundays to lbs or stones. I'm not brilliant at understanding weight in kg. so I find I still stay ignorant they fo say ignorance is bliss and it is. I don't even have to look st my scales because it records everything then I can transfer it to the computer and it shows me everything in graphs and I can see the downward progress despite fluctuations.
Now doesn't that appeal to your inner numbers geek

Lol, yes, but not enough to risk going back to that dark place, even if I could do it on a spreadsheet!

Another pound off for me this week...so that is four in total (and 24 to go for Christmas!)
I may decide to raid the bank account and buy some new scales.....but first of all I am waiting for a bathroom/wetroom conversion that starts in two weeks...then maybe 'christen' the new wetroom with new scales!
