This round I have been using the scale every day so far, but only in the morning. I'm actually sort of the opposite of most and sort of hate the scale, so in a previous round after the first week of P2 I only weighed myself weekly (every day in P3 though). It really helped me focus on the long term weight loss and not the daily fluctuating numbers. The scale used to have the power to really depress me if I saw a tiny loss or no loss or especially a gain. I may decide to start doing that again once my losses slow down as they inevitably will

I really like what you said, GoGetter, because long term this is really more about the lifestyle change and overcoming that subconscious emotional eating (at least for me) although my emotional eating had gotten to the point where it was not exactly subconscious, lol! Yes, I want to lose weight as well and that's at the forefront of my mind. But ultimately I'm trying to attack this problem from the core and learn to eat for physical need while experiencing emotional fulfillment with things other than food.

When I'm home I tend to jump on all day too. I only focus on the morning weight, though.
