Default 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.

Could it be early Alzheimers?

Defective scale?

Clothes vs. nude?

I have a feeling there is something bogus about the OP's post.

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

I don't think so!

Defective scale?


I have only one scale, but I'll buy one more in near future.

Clothes vs. nude?


I think it could be water retention.

I am bit obese with my weight. I eat and check my weight, check b4
walk and then after. I know it's bit much.

You're doing fine. Remember when confronted with the reality that is
science loon will start name calling and run in another
direction. Such is the mark of bigot, not one who is worth
corresponding with.

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.

That's your problem. You're trying to weigh too many times a day. What
I think you should do is to pick a certain time of the day... my
suggestion would be right when you go to bed and wearing only what you
sleep in. Do not weigh at any other time during the day. If you
monitor your weight that way, over a period of a month or more you
will get a true indication of how your diet is going and the numbers
will not be influenced by hourly fluctuations. Also, don't worry about
small daily fluctuations. Better yet, you should just weigh once or
twice a week. That will let your body average out the daily
fluctuations and give you a more realistic weight.

One more thing; scales differ. Use the same scale each time and that
will give you an accurate indication of weight lost or gained. If you
REALLY need to know your 'exact' weight, then buy a doctors type scale
or a good digital scale that is usually more accurate than the typical
10 dollar bathroom type.

Let's face it. If you weigh just before dinner, then eat a two pound
meal and drink a quart of beverage, you have just gained 4 pounds, but
that is really a meaningless number.
