that WAS water weight!

thank you all so much for being there for me!  i dont know WHY i even weighed myself yesterday!  i ALWAYS wait till Saturday morning...  i got all upset over nothing! and it wont happen again Believe Me! this morning i was only 264.5  not 267.5...   how can Water do that to me?!?!?  just kidding...  Thanks Everyone!

Our bodies tend to play tricks on us!  It's always best to watch your trend as opposed to the day to day changes in the scale.  I always try to weigh at the same time wearing the same things. There are so many variables that will affect the number including the cloths you are wearing, the food you've eaten recently, how hydrated your body is, etc.  As long as the trend is going in the right direction don't worry about the minor fluctuations.  I know it's easier said than done but it does help keep you sane!

Congrats on the loss!

this is the exact reason why I quit weighing myself. I got so frustrated because I weighed every day and all I saw was my water weight go up and down. I saw no weight loss for half a year (well almost nothing). So I quit and instantly the restless feeling subsided and I felt so much better again. I've decided to weigh myself again on my CC birthday: Oct 15th.

The fun thing is that I now start to notice the signs again that my body is giving me. suddenly I feel my "weight loss feeling" again (which is that nice kind of empty feeling when you go to bed, instead of that full stomach that I had all the time from frustation eating) and this morning I saw that my top which used to be fitting is now getting a bit loose... I don't think I would have seen that if I was still in my weigh-in frustration...
