Feeling Down
Hi All
This is week 3 of my weight loss plan. I started at about 297 pounds. On Sunday morning when I weighed my self I was down to 285 pounds. I know I shouldn't weigh my self mid-week but this morning I did and my weight had went up to 290 pounds. I am puzzled since I am still sticking rigorously to my plan AND last night I was on the exercise bike for 30 minutes and really went for it. Ho hum...

It also can be caused by water retention from salty food, etc. It takes 3500 calories to gain a pound and I doubt you've over ate by this amount. Beverly --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

If you feel you've been doing everything right, then stick with it and stay off the scale until your next scheduled weigh-in. Amy |

Hark! I heard "Jamberoo" say:

Weigh yourself just once per week for a more accurate accounting. Now if only I could follow my own advice... ;-) -- J.J. in WA State (251/243/150) |

Way to go Jim,
Your doing great at your weight loss. Don't fret over the weight gain, it's only water retention. I weighed 210 one day and over the weekend and eating right too, I weight 219. I almost freaked out cause I hadn't seen such weight gain so fast before. Two days later I was back to 210. Don't go killing yourself and working out any harder than your use to. The weight will continue to drop as long as your sticking to good eating and exercise. Take care and continued success on losing weight, Paul 300/210/175 "Jamberoo" wrote in message ...

Do not allow it to get you down. If you stick to your plan you will look back at the end of the month and see progress. -- Diva ***** The Best Man for the Job May Be A Woman |

My weight is up two pounds from the lowest (and a pound from where I thought it was.) It's those damn almonds. I have no time for meals so I grab a handful as I walk past. And one handful is never enough. Dally 244/182/170 |

If you love to hit yourself with a hammer anyways. Quit hurting yourself already. I know I shouldn't weigh my self mid-week but this morning I did and my weight had went up to 290 pounds. Your water retention swing is at least 5 pounds. So? Mine's 6 pounds so I'm not amazed that yours is smaller. I am puzzled since Your puzzled since you don't know that water retention swing happens all the time and has happened your entire life. It's just that you rarely stepped on the scale so you didn't see it happen. But it did happen. This is why new folks are told to stay off the scale. Because they hurt themselves doing that and it isn't as honest as using a hammer. If you want to hurt yourself, use a hammer and you'll know that it's you that is causing the pain. But ya know, better yet is to just plain stop hurting yourself. Get off that scale! While you're off that scale, go have a steak to celebrate those 12 pounds you lost. Be honest with yourself and not hurtfull. Face the reality of 12 pounds of loss. Every new low is a loss. Water swing is not a gain. Have plenty of veggies to get up to 25 grams for the day, too. |
