One of the MUST DOS to lose weight is to buy a scale.
Weigh yourself everyday. And have a chart. I usually weigh myself after I have my morning coffee.
True weight loss takes time. If you lose a pound a week that is four or five pounds a month And fifty to sixty pounds a year.
Yep, this is so very true. I have scales, but it is only when I use them that I lose weight.
Put new batteries in 3 weeks back, and down 13 pounds since then. Checking each day makes me focus more, watch what I eat, do that little extra physically to keep it going in the right direction.
I've lost 2-pounds per month non-stop for 37-months. No pain... no gain! Slow and easy prevents yo-yo-ing I suspect. A good digital scale accurate down to tenths of a pound (or Kg) is a wonderful and essential tool. Yes, a daily record is the only way to prevent back-sliding and reward yourself every time you hit a new lower number for the first time. You brain provides the rewards... not the refrigerator, but I always do a little happy dance for a few minutes when a new lower number is achieved.
