Thanks guys, but ti's already there... listed as: "Link to interesting article on why your weight fluctuates: http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/scale.htm" Prairie Roots had it in there before I came along as official welcomer even. I agree, it IS a wonderful article! -- ~Kristin O~ 272/238.4/172 Here's our FAQ: http://www.didian.com/asdww/ and welcome notice: http://www.geocities.com/welcomenotice/index.html "Diane" wrote in message om... This is a terrific article. I agree that it should be in the Welcome message. It took me a while to figure out that the numbers on the scale aren't "real" in the sense that a 1 lb loss on my scale reading means I lost 1 lb of fat. That's why I weight daily. By weighting daily, I am actually reducing the impact of any single number. It's hard to take a 2 lb gain in one day seriously (I know that it's impossible to have a 7000 calorie deficit in one day), whereas a gain at the end of the week, after I had been counting points faithfully, is emotionally destructive. This way I can monitor the fluctuations, and recognize that the 2 lb gain is a fluke, because two days earlier I had recorded a 2 lb loss. The really important number is on the chart I keep of my daily weights. It says that I've lost 40+ lbs overall. That my be off by a pound or two, but it's still very significant. :-) Diane M.
