[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find daily weigh ins helpful but only if you are open to the concept that weight varies.  Weigh in the morning, same time, before you eat.  And then focus on the week average.

If you know this will drive you nuts, then go to weekly, just realize you may be hitting a low or high time. [/quote]

This. Instead of scale, focus on being active, getting 10k steps, weighing portions, etc. Also, use a tape measure, tight clothes and photos to gauge progress. Also, know your cycle will particularly impact water weight fluctuations.

I personally find keeping carbs low (below 20g total, not net) has been really helpful for weight loss, since the body runs on either glucose or fat (like a hybrid car), triggering the metabolic shift to fat as fuel (by dropping carbs) and keeping fat in diet controlled, stored body fat is targeted. In maintenance I eat more carbs and more fat but when cutting, being in fat burning state and being more active has been really effective. Intermittent fasting is also great for fat loss, check out the work of Dr. Jason Fung or the podcast his team does, The Fasting Method.

OP, think of these as lifestyle changes.
Good luck, OP![/quote]
