So, I think I have hit a stall. I have been trading the same 5 oz over the past 4 days, now. But, despite the advice of the vets, I keep weighing because I am not worried. The vets have said, repeatedly, that this, too, shall pass if I stay on plan. The reason I keep weighing is because I am hoping to see if I can see a pattern in my loss. Am I a stair stepper? Will I have funky little retrograde patterns? Dunno. That is why I am tracking. Not worrying, just tracking.

Anyone else a data geek like me?

I am weighing every day now too. I think mine is a wee bit OCD. That said, I'm not TRACKING my weight or counting my gain/losses daily. Just noting them and moving on.

I'm on it every morning. It is interesting to see how I'm doing each day. I also make adjustments to what / how I'm eating if I don't like what the scale says.

I am obsessed with weighing myself daily. I am doing the same thing you are doing. I have a 0.5lb difference daily. I am not gaining but I go back and forth between these two weights. I actually thought something was wrong with my scale until I went to the gym and theirs said the same thing. Oh well!! lol
