weigh yourself daily

I weight myself almost daily!
I wake up- go potty and immediately step on the scale. (before I eat or drink anything)

A lot of weight loss and fitness people in the world will tell you this is a very bad idea. That you shouldn't stress over the numbers on the scale. That it should be more about how your clothes fit and how healthy you feel.
I totally agree that those aspects are important. However, I also believe that the scale is a very good calculator for how your diet is going.

For Example: When I have a "bad food" day and eat much more than I should have, it shows on the scale the next morning. This puts me in check and makes me realize that "today is going to be better!"
When I have a good day - nutritionally- and I step on the scale the next morning and I either see no change, or a reduction in weight then I am happy. No gain is good gain for me.

Everyone's goals are different. Maybe you want to gain, maybe you want to maintain, maybe you want to lose. It could be that you just want to feel healthy and fit into your clothes better. That's all great!
All I'm saying is that stepping on the scale should not be considered a bad thing and people should not be shamed for doing so.

Surprisingly I found an article on MSN Health that agrees with me.
The study that they wrote about actually suggested that you weight yourself on Wednesdays

Weight Loss Suppliments

So here's my dilemma ... I really want to lose just a little bit more weight. Not a lot. I'm talking like less than 10 pounds. But I am having a terrible time doing it . I know the best answer is diet and exercise.  Definitely 100% agree !!! My problem is that when it comes to dieting I have plateaued. :( I lost a bunch of weight when I first changed my diet. I am now so much more knowledgeable about calories and fats and sweets. I have been really good at controlling what I put in my body. So now eating healthy is my new "norm" - yay! unfortunately that's not dropping the pounds any more. So what do I do? I already am only eating 1200 calories a day so I obviously don't want to go below that. Exercise is great. It really is . I love it! I just don't have time for it. I have tons of work-out plans, seriously I have a binder full of exercises  BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME . I have 3 kids to take care of ...
