I understand why they reckon weighing yourself is bad but it actually worked a treat for me. Mind you, I wasn't exercising though so the lines weren't blurred by me putting on muscle.

The reason I like weighing myself every day is that it really helped me understand what amounts I could eat (and drink) without putting on weight, what amounts would make me lose weight and what would make me put on weight.

If I have small portions all day and no booze, I lose weight. If I have moderate portions and a couple of wines my weight stays the same and if I have big portions and/or bad stuff plus wine then I put on weight.

I know that should have been common sense but weighing myself daily really brought it home to me in a very immediate way.
