Hi, I'm new to the forum. I weigh everyday, didn't think it was a good idea at first, but it does make sense. I am having a rough day today though. I started out at 338.8, I have been working on my weightloss since Jan/09. I weighed on Friday and I was down to 301.1...which is my mini goal to get under 300lbs. I've worked hard and have not gone over my calories, plus one day I went for a 30 min brisk walk, plus did my regular 20 min bike ride... all trying hard to get under that mark, but i weighed yesterday, two days later, and my scale said 306lbs!!!!!!! WHAT? there is no way I put on 5lbs....it's not physically possible. I just don't get it, i could see if it didnt' change or a pound either way, but I have not gained since I started. I'm wondering about the scale but it's new and it was a digital expensive one. I am not letting myself get down about it, because i just know that i've done all that i can. It's just when you work so hard, the number on that scale really affects how my day goes,and my mood. New to it all and I have no idea what to do now except to keep doing what i'm doing. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
