Just thought I'd post this for consideration... I never had scales in my house before banding, but they are my friend now. Some of you weigh only once a week but I have gotten into the habit of weighing every day. What helps me a lot is that I have digital scales that read 10ths of a pound. I get very "obsessive" about those 10ths, and chart them religiously. You get to the point where you celebrate the mini-goals of the 10ths becuase THOSE are the things you see move more often than the pound numbers (especially if you are a slow loser or are plateau-ing)and then when the scale drops by a POUND you get VERY excited. Consequently, I do a LOT of celebrating now. I can get very excited when I see the scale move one or two tenths of a pound and I have gotten the HAPPY DANCE down to a fine art!
