This is what I do – I step on the scale each morning and see what it says. If it goes over 184, I adjust what I am eating, how much, and when.
If I travel I often don’t eat well. When I get back, I am back on the scale, and making adjustments so I come in between 181 and 184.
Does one day make a difference if I go out to eat and have appetizers and dessert? Yes. One day makes a difference. I can gain 2-3 pounds in a day!
I know where I want to be and I am committed to it, and knowing where I actually am each day helps me make adjustments so I can never get too far away from my target.
That’s what works for me.
What works for you?
Happy Birthday Larry!
I to step on the scale every day, and I use intermittent fasting to help control my weight! Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday Larry!! Also your Basement Systems of Indiana team is the best! I drink lots of coffee which helps me stay slim… (ha!) Seriously, fasting periodically and working outdoors helps me stay slim!
Happy birthday Larry! Basement Systems of Indiana is grateful for having the best products and the best team with the best leadership!
Happy Birthday Larry!!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for the inspiration Larry.
Happy Birthday Larry!
You may not believe this but I have the same exact routine. Slight difference; when I hit one eighty I know I have to make adjustments! (& yes, one day can make a difference – not to mention when the battery on the scale dies & 3 weeks go by before I replace it…)
Best of Birthday Weekends to you! Enjoy! 🎂
Happy Birthday Larry!!! May you continue to have good health and post your Think Daily. 🙂
Happy Birthday, Larry!!! I hope the race went well!
Happy Birthday, Larry! I stick to a 5-pound range, as taught by my mother who had an overweight parent. So much easier to lose 5 pounds than 20! Hope you saved some calories for cake!
Happy Birthday Larry! You’re catching up..

Basement Systems of Indiana is grateful for you!! It’s a pleasure to be part of such an amazing family!
Happy Birthday Larry! May you experience many more!
To add to stepping on the scale, I find throwing in an extra 20-30 min of cardio on my stationery bike helps burn off that delicious dessert I might indulge in.
Enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Larry!! You look great, and I do the same thing with the scale.
Have a great birthday!

Happy Birthday Larry! Have an amazing day today!
Happy Birthday, Larry! 59 is the new 49, and that especially applies to you because you take good care of yourself. As for the scale, I get on it every day, too. My wife is critical of that and says I get on the scale too often. But much like you, I want to know if the pounds are sneaking on. I was 187 a few days ago and knew I was going in the wrong direction. I made some adjustments and 185 this morning. Ideally, I would love to target 180. Thanks for always inspiring your readers and congrats on your most recent mx race out west and visiting your son. Have a great day! Braaap!!!!!
Happy Birthday.Thanks for getting me back on think daily. Hope Vegas to Reno went good.probably see you down south
Happy birthday Larry! I hope you have a wonderful day
All God’s Blessings on your birthday.☘️🎂☘️
Happy Birthday Larry! Hope you have a great day!! On the days I go out, I tend to work out a little harder on cardio. I also juice 🥤 fruits and vegetables in the morning and afternoon to make room for a nice dinner and switch it up all the time. To good health & prosperity!
Larry, Happy Birthday! A good dietary tweak is to stop eating at 7 PM. Due to our body’s circadian rhythms, we don’t process food as efficiently after 7 PM. We can gain more weight than if we ate the same exact food earlier in the day.
Happy Birthday Thanks for all you do!!
Happy birthday Larry ,yesterday was my 60th birthday. Last week we rode at Dirtdaze 2023 . I was a NETRA rider back in the 80’s rode alot in CT

Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST DAY!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Larry!! I step on the scale daily also. It all began 10 months ago, when I was not happy with how I was feeling, and looking at 59 years old. I stopped eating carbs, walked daily and exercised when it was raining/snowing. I lost 35 lbs, and have more energy than ever! My husband complements me constantly, and that also keeps me on track. Thank you for your blog on The case against sugar (carbs) 9/19/2022. That got the ball rolling!
Happy Birthday Larry! I hope your day is filled with lasting memories!
PS. I step on the scale and it says “Hey, only one person at a time!!”
Happy 59th Larry!
You wear it well
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday Larry! Have fun celebrating!
Btw, I’ve been reading your daily blog posts for years. You continue to be a source of inspiration, motivation, knowledge, and enlightenment for me, personally and professionally. I feel like I’m on a journey with you… I’m grateful for all you do to help me stay focused on what’s truly important. Thanks and keep ’em coming!
First, Happy Birthday, Larry! As for today’s question, I try not to be scale-obsessed. My marker is my jeans. I wear them every day. I won’t buy a larger size. When they get uncomfortably tight, it’s a constant reminder to reduce my calorie intake.
The same works for me! It was a bit of a shocker when my 32″ waist pants became tight at 50-51 years old. I step on the scale often, keep fit, watch what I eat, and adjust when needed. Happy birthday! You are an inspiration!
Same thin works for me. We also have the same target zone !
Happy birthday Lawrence,
I do the same thing with the scale. But not the day after my birthday (haha) enjoy!
Happy birthday, I pray the blessings of God on your life
Happy belated birthday!
I do the very same thing with regards to weighing in but not daily. I can usually “feel” if I have overeaten and gotten too heavy. I’ll then weigh in and adjust diet until I’m back down. To me it’s a simple meter to tell if something isn’t quite right.
Happy Birthday, Larry!
Happy Birthday from another Leo just reaching the big 4-0!!!
Happy Birthday! I like your philosophy on the scale. Every day matters! If one never gains 5 lbs – they can never gain more than that.
Happy Birthday, Larry!!!
Hope you had a happy birthday Larry! And many more!
Happy Birthday!! I met you in person on your 50th at convention 2013. Damn the time flies! So glad we teamed up. You are a great inspiration to me.
