How much I really weight?
Two weeks ago I started checking weight, and it was between 220-225.
Today, I am less then 210, point seems to be on 207. I know about weight fluctuation, and surly I couldn't have lost 18 pounds in two weeks? I only walk about two hours per night. Am I reading too much into it? |

Because you started out so heavy, it is conceivable that you lost a great deal of water, and not nearly so much fat. |

How much I really weight?
Could it be early Alzheimers?
Defective scale? Clothes vs. nude? I have a feeling there is something bogus about the OP's post. wrote in message oups.com... Two weeks ago I started checking weight, and it was between 220-225.

Am I reading too much into it? Because you started out so heavy, it is conceivable that you lost a great deal of water, and not nearly so much fat. It's lot of water if you ask me First of all, according to what you wrote your loss could be anywhere between 13 - 18lbs. It's quite possible that much of it is water weight especially if you're a woman. Fluctuating hormones can cause large weight swings due to water retention. Also, at the beginning of a weight loss diet most people lose quite a bit of water weight along with some fat. No one is saying it's all water. I know about water retention issue, since I am a man I assumed I wouldn't have such problem. It's bit strange to me. In the morning I had 2 cups water - 600ml, now I had 750ml of water, but I weight 205, in the morning I weighted 207 -- Jeri "Change is inevitable, except from vending machines." |

As long as you don't use your initial loss in any way to compare against later loss I don't see anything wrong with being happy about a lot of water loss. Your high was 225. You are currently at 207. The difference is 18 pounds. It is unknown how much of that 18 pounds was water but definitely most of it. I know about water retention issue, since I am a man I assumed I wouldn't have such problem. It's bit strange to me. In the morning I had 2 cups water - 600ml, now I had 750ml of water, but I weight 205, in the morning I weighted 207 When I went on Atkins Induction I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks. Later loss rates suggested that I had probably lost 2 pounds of fat and that suggested I lost 6 pounds of water. But early on that was just a wild guess. When I neared my maximum loss I tracked the scale rating daily. I did a weekly average to have a trend and I logged the daily numbers to discover my water retention bounce. Sure enough it ended up 6 pounds. I no longer think big water retention swings are unexpected and I long ago gave up trying to figure them in terms of hormone swings (I'm also male). There is one other thing I've noticed when folks have very big water retention swings at the start - They often have very sudden swings up when they cheat. That suggests a theory - food intolerance that causes water bloat. Remove some specific food from your diet, water goes away. Add that specific food back, water returns in a rush. As a low carber I've seen this happen with folks going on and off grain. I don't know of any study that confirms this theory so it remains an untested hypothesis. So - Is there a specific food ingredient that you used to eat nearly every day that you stopped eating completely when you started? I bet if you add it back wham welcome back 10+ pounds of water bloat in a flash. Speculative to be sure. |
