weighing in

Thought I'd answer questions within the posts....makes it easier (and maybe helpful) for everyone else to see them too.

"Do you need to be weighing in EVERY day? That would do my head in..."

NO! Definitely not - in fact I strongly discourage it LOL Once a week is heaps. Once you've been doing it for months you'll see trends too. (bloating/weight gain around ovulation, just before period etc)

I do take my Blood Pressure every day.

Haha, I have a bad habit of weighing daily too! I really shouldn't, but for some reason, I find it helps me (at the beginning) to stay motivated.
If I've lost say 200g from the day before, I feel like I've done well, if I've gained, I just have to do better!

The longer I get into the weight loss though, the longer I leave between weigh-ins :)

Hi Rach

What an amazing and traumatic journey you have been on! I am so sorry you have had to deal with incompetent drs but then at the same time it has been such a blessing that it was a wakeup call and not lights out iykwim. Your journey has inspired me to continue with my weight loss, I have been so demotivated as I just don't seem to be able to make it to 20kgs lost... It's rediculous when I have another 40kgs to go :(

A previous post you asked about the tuckshop arms. I am finding combat classes and tricep curls are working a treat :)

Can't wait to see you at your goal weight.. I'll race you :)
