my point was that if you're gaining weight its better to know sooner than later. ok so maybe you stall or gain weight for no reason and you're not doing anything wrong, well then use your common sense to tell you that you shouldnt change anything because you're not doing anything wrong and it's probably weight from water or muscle. I suppose if it's detrimental to your emotional well being to see a slight gain or stall, then maybe you should weigh once a month, or how about never and use a tape measure? but if you add flax ( like the poster said), and suddenly see a weight gain in a week after adding it in everyday, well that will tell you a little something about how you respond to flax. that was my point. I would hope that having just shy of 100 pounds to lose, that she'll be seeing either a loss of weight or inches every week to begin with.
