I have been telling myself not to worry about the number on the scale because I know there can be a big difference - good or bad - from day to day or week to week. I still weight myself once a week . . . for now.

I've been told that you generally do not see or feel a difference until you achieve at least a 10% weight loss. Obviously, people are different but that is a general average. When I lost weight before, it was around 10%(ish) that I began to really notice a change. Before then, though, my only indication that I was doing anything positive seemed to be the scale.

I am back in the same boat - working toward my first 10%. I'd prefer to check my weight once per week until I do start to see a physical difference, just so I do see some kind of progress and do not get discouraged. I have to force myself to remember, though, that the number is not the important thing. It really does drive you mad if you strive for perfect numbers.

I really like that point of view. Perhaps I should write it down and stick it up on the wall above my scale . . .
