Just keep going, you have lost almost 50 lbs you are definitely doing the right things. 

Here is what I wrote about weigh ins in my blog: One day in July of 2014 I was wondering how many calories were in a banana. So I typed into the the search box "how many calories in a banana" and it took me to the website: FatSecret (there will be a post coming soon about the wonder that is FS). Essentially it's a site that keeps track of calories, activities and weight progression, but at the same time so much more. After joining FS I decided to start weighing myself every day. BIG mistake. Like I said before your weight can fluctuate throughout the day and it can also fluctuate throughout the week. And even though I was losing weight by the end of the week I was missing the overall loss because I was obsessing over my weight every day. After about 3 weeks of doing it that way and getting supremely frustrated I went back to Monday mornings, and I have never looked back. 

Thanks for the support. I hoping that tomorrows weight-in will be better. We went to a viewing for a friends father this morning and decided to walk the 6 blocks to the funeral home instead of driving. Then I spent quite a few hours outside working in the yard today (with a pick and shovel) topped off with 160 calories on the tread mill while watching Survivor. 

Scout don't sweat the small stuff my friend. I weight everyday and yes some days are up some are down very frustrating when you know you are doing the right thing. Try doing an official weigh in day, what I track on here is my weight on Friday. I have actually did my weight daily on here before and it looked like a terrain map. Stay the course.
