Am I obsessed with my scale and they way I look in pictures?

The best way to track your weight loss is to try on a pair of old clothes that don't fit any more. That way you know you are smaller!! I have several different pairs of pants that I used to be able to fit into, and when I start gaining weight and they fit I know I need to lose..then when I lose I can try them on again and when they are baggy I know I have lost weight..

Also, don't worry about the scales too much..a healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs. a week..so as long as you are losing that you are doing really well..Weighing yourself once a week is good.

Try not to worry about how you look in pictures..it could just be the lighting..or what you were wearing, etc. If you can see a difference when you look in the mirror then you are doing good!!

Well, as they say, a camera adds 10 lbs. But I doubt thats really the case. Its possible that you just have poor self image, always concentrating on your imperfections.

And scales are just a bad idea. I weigh myself, sure...but most weight is water weight from what Ive read. When you work out you are burning away fat by developing muscle which weighs more than fat to begin with.

What helps me track my progress is measuring myself. Get a tape ruler and measure out your arms, chest, waist, hips, thighs etc, and keep track of yourself that way. I think its more important to lose inches rather than pounds.

Hoped this helped a bit, and good luck!

well you seem to be trying very hard, which is admirable. but obsession isnt going to get you anywhere, just try and be healthy, plenty of fruit and veg, ditch the junk food and stuff like white bread and potatoes, treat yourself occasionally :-)

keep up with the exercising, chuck out the scales, treat yourself to a new outfit you look good in, this will boost your confidence. :-) good luck with it all xxx

you are looking at the scale too much you should excercise until your head is full of sweat you should eat less junk food

sounds like it

i think so
