You GO Maggie! Let me know how it goes! Dr. Adeyeri. Holmdel, NJ, USA Thanks for the encouragement. I have lost the pound and a half but other than that seem to have stalled for a while. However, I'm carrying on with my exercise and am not getting too upset.

Thanks for that - a timely post for me as I've just put on weight for the first time since surgery. Will get back in control now. Losing a pound and a half will be easy.... Having to re-lose ten would be more daunting.

Countrysweet - you've done brilliantly well, so weighing every day obviously works for you. I think we're all different and need to find our own ways of dealing with things. I am only at the beginning of this journey, and hope that I can do as well as you over the coming year.

I don't find it helpful to weigh too often. I weigh twice a month and that's enough for me. I'm feeling fitter and my clothes are getting looser, so that's how I judge my progress. I have 'only' lost 6.5lb over the past two weeks and I'm sure that if I'd been weighing every day I would have found it demotivating after the higher initial weight loss.
