Need to lose the belly

    Interesting discussion on weighing oneself every day. I have to agree this is the way forward.

    I think the scales are useful for someone who has a fat loss target, but only in conjunction with an exercise plan and a strict calorie-controlled diet (ensuring you eat enough calories per day, as well as not too much).

    Obsessing over variations of a couple of pounds from one day to another is a problem, particularly if it encourages people to skip meals. Similarly, people should realise when they are on a binge (half a pack of biscuits with a cup of tea, takeaways 3-4 nights a week) without having to stand on the scales every day.

    I've done the dieting lifestyle, but when you have no real target it can be demotivating when the weight stops dropping and you start feeling low on energy. In the end, it's too easy to go back to comfort eating, or possibly worse, to continue dieting.

    I don't follow. I've put on weight in the last few months since I started weight training so on paper I'm getting bigger, yet I've never looked better as it's muscle not fat.
    I don't weight myself anymore, my progress or lack of can be seen in the mirror.

    How much weight are you putting on in a month?
