5 pounds so quickly! That's great news! 

Thank you lemonella! 

Congrats on the weightloss! However, you may want to rethink weighing in on a daily basis. I realize different foods have an impact on how we lose weight; ie. the drinking of green tea to boost your metabulism, but I think weighing in everyday is too often; twice a week, at best, or even once a week is more realistic, and you'll still see the dramatic difference you are seeking. I check my weight several times a week, but only document it weekly, or every two weeks; that way I can avoid the stress of daily fluctuations in my weight. Be blessed with whatever you decide to do. Have a great day! :-)  

Thanks for the advice ShyGuy! It probably is best to weigh in every week. It also has that wow factor when you lose 4 or 5 pounds in a week like I did. :) 

I am agreeing with ShyGuy -- I am guilty of weighing in almost daily but am 2-1/2 yrs into my journey and totally understand the ups and downs due to water and waste - that said, I have one official weigh-in each week - same time, same place. When I was first starting out it was important to get the hang of eating low carb and trying not to obsess over the scale - so many changes are being made in your body that the scale does not measure. Oh, and I remember weeks when I did great scale-wise and I'd repeat everything measure for measure the next week with totally different results -- remember, the scale only tells part of the story :) 

Thanks GigiP! That is great to keep in mind because I am definately guilty of beating myself up when the scale doesn't reflect what I want it to or think it should. I need to just remember to take it one day at a time and eventually I WILL get where I want to go!
