The Ups and Downs of the Scale

As I've said before, I weigh everyday.  It is the first thing I do every morning after I wake up and pee.  However, I only record my weight once a week.  On September 3rd, I was 1.8 pounds away from the 60 pound mark.  I was sure I'd hit it that week.  Boy was I wrong.  That following Monday, September 10th, I was 2.8 away from the 60 pound mark.  I had gained weight over the prior week and my motivation was really lacking.  Another week passed and now it was Monday, September 17th and now I was 3.4 away from that, what seemed to be elusive, 60 pound loss.  Around this time, the information at my support group really sank in and my motivation seemed to start improving at this point.  When I weighed in on Saturday following that September 17th weigh in, I had now reached my 60 pound weight loss and today when I weighed in I'm showing a total loss of 65 pounds!  I'm worried I will start wavering again in my losses since I lost 5 pounds in 4 days.  However, I'm hoping not.  I guess time will tell.
