Tomatoes?
So, after doing so well and getting down to 132.5 I had my first scare with
what I think may have been water retention. I'm not sure - I think I need somebody to clarify what happened to me. I don't think I've had a tomato in months (I go through food phases), but a few days ago I noticed 2 red tomatoes in the garden, so I ended up having tomato/cucumber salad for lunch two days in a row. Since I'm stil trying to figure out what affects my weight I'm still weighing myself in the morning and night for a bit. I've been eating what I normally eat - the only thing that is different is the tomatoes. Weight shoots up to 135 yesterday morning. Of course I freak out and a pox on all tomatoes! Obviously, I'd still like to eat tomatoes. I read the whole "Fasting Challenge" thread which quickly turned into the tomato thread and everybody seems to hold tomatoes in such high regard. I'm back down to 132.5 today - but I need to know how I should approach this whole tomato situation. I find it hard to accept that I just put aside the tomatoes. ~Liz (who just realizes this whole post is extremely silly and reeks of paranoia) 140(?)/132.5/125 (BF%)35.7/26.3/20(?) |

Tell me again why you are weighing yourself every day because it's only going to make you crazy like this. "Liz" wrote in message ...

Take a deep breath and relax. Your weight fluctuation is probably a normal thing, and is most likely not caused by tomatoes. While developing my "WeightWare" weight and health diary (http://www.WeightWare.com ), I've studied my own daily weight fluctuations for the last 6 months or so. I weigh myself each morning (sans clothing) on an accurate digital scale, and often see daily fluctuations of 2-4 lbs. Overnight variations of 2 lbs are also common (i.e., I wake up weighing 2 lbs less than when I went to sleep). These fluctuations can happen for a variety of reasons - hydration levels, bowel movements, menstrual periods, etc. (or, that carton of Ben & Jerry's!). As others have pointed out, it's the long term trend that is most important. BTW - if you're motivated by the numbers, and want some software assistance to see your weight and body fat trends over time, you can download a free trial version of WeightWare from the web site.

Gaining and losing a few pounds in a couple of days is water retention, not a true weight issue. Did you put a lot of salt on the tomatoes and cucumbers? Obviously, you didn't eat 8000 calories of tomatoes and work it off the next day. If you were working in the garden, you might have merely puffed up some water retention from the heat. A lot of people mention inexplicably retaining water in hot weather. Liz wrote: So, after doing so well and getting down to 132.5 I had my first scare with what I think may have been water retention.
