Hi Sueetties, Boy O Boy, can I ever relate to the scale induced paranoia. I can honestly say step 1 is Don't get on those suckers 3-4 times a day.. There are just too many things that can lead to fluctuations, water weight, exercise and injury, Hormonal variations.. Heck even seasonal changes.
In the weight loss scene it is strongly advised to avoid weighing in too often for these sort of reasons. Personally, I found two helpful things.. One being routine. If your curiosity must be sated.. Weigh yourself no more than once a day. Same time of day. Perhaps just before a shower so you're wearing the same thing.
Part 2 is get a weight trending app for your phone if you have one. I use Libra on my Android phone. Every day I record my weigh in on that. It puts that info on a chart which allows me to see my trend and not worry about fluctuations.
Once you get a week or two of data, you can comfortably see whether your trend is gaining, losing or holding. Giving you peace of mind and plenty of advanced warning to possible long term gain.
Anyway, as for the exercise. As long as you're eating right and not hurting yourself, I think run as much as you enjoy. I hope some of that is useful. Take care.
Bill.
