Yes, I agree, do not deprive yourself...please be safe, and of course, it is always safer to seek the advice of a doctor before starting anything like this...

I DO weigh myself every day, but it is not a weight issue, it is more that I just like keeping track of it. I myself lost 30 lbs when I first got my one job, then gained some of it back as muscle mass after I had been there a while, and had to do a lot of heavy lifting
