Specializes in Nutrition

No: Stressing over losing weight probably wont help you accomplish your goals. It might help to have professional help to monitor you. I wouldnt weigh myself everyday. I would try to learn nutrition from a certified professional dietician, or physician nutrition specialist. Aiming for 5-7 fruits and fresh vegetables a day- not fired, or with oil, is a good way to start your journey.
