how did you motivate yourself when...

[vitaminc]

you hit a stall or gain a pound one day? cuz its just frustrating that i weighed a pound lesser yesterday but for some reason weight one more today.

i would take your measurements, it can really help to see the inches drop, also try not to weigh yourself every day. I know it can be hard but if you weigh weekly you will avoid the daily fluctuations.

It could just be water weight!

Great suggestion

Another would be to read this thread called 'Weight Loss is not linear'

If I weighed myself everyday I would probably have jumped ship by now. Your weight can fluctuate by 3 pounds daily. Maybe more. Make a habit of weighing yourself every week or two weeks instead of daily.

I stayed away from the scale for one thing. I began to measure myself once a week and I switched gears from the scale being my focus to how my clothes fit. I'd get a smaller size outfit and I'd try that sucker on every so often until I not only could fit it but I shrunk out of it! Scales are pure evil and there are so many factors that can cause the numbers to change so I try not to put too much stock into what the scale says. I used to weigh myself once a week faithfully. I'm so close to goal that my loss stalls ALL the time. I now weigh myself once a month...if that.
Don't get frustrated...you can do this.
