A Good Idea to Weigh Everyday?

I was happy to see I had lost half a kilo this morning on the scales, however have decided to just update once a week - every Wednesday.

I tend to like to jump on the scales every morning- THOUGH- I know there are opposing ideas as to whether this is a good idea or not. For me, I have found in the past that it works- I need to keep a daily check on my weight or it quickly goes out of control - when I am in "piling the pounds back on" mode, I tend not to weigh myself at all -figures!

Sometimes though, if I get a bad morning weigh in, it can depress me and demotivate me - so I have to somehow balance this with being positive about the future no matter what the change might be from day to day.

I hope to lose quite a few kilos this week....however considering I still have a healing and slightly painful incision, it needs to be through decreasing food intake alone and drinking loads of water - we shall see.

My intention is to blog my weight everyday which may get a bit boring, however I really need to do this. This blog is for me and my health, unfortunately not so much my entertainment :(

Mini goal- to get to 110 kilos

I'm an every day weigher to. Although this week I've been avoiding them and they are slightly up. eek.

Just start the exercising slowly. Looking after the bigger kids and a small walk will be more than enough for you at the moment. I did find that I was back to walking by about the 3 weeks after having bubs. I feel like my recovery was quicker this time but maybe that's because I didn't have a choice. I still had to look after Chiara and the new baby.

I haven´t been weighing myself everyday due to stress! though I did this morning and I was 114 still which was ok.

I do feel able to exercise now. Its nearly 4 weeks. I am going to walk on the weekend and hopefully do a gently bike ride too.

I'm an every day weigher - and like you, seem to stack it on when I don't weigh regularly. It's like we somehow think that perhaps is not happening! lol.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby. I love weight loss blogs and don't think it will be boring. It's nice to cheer others on and see how they're going. I look forward to see how you go :)
