Hey everyone ... Ok, yesterday I weighed 197 lbs. It was the first time I had been in the 100;s in years so I was thrilled ... BUT after dinner, I was back at 200! Then I just woke up and its 196. I mean I kno wit changes btu come on, how am I ever supposed to know how much I really weigh!?!?
When you have as much weight to lose as I do, not weighing yourself everyday is hard. It is like I am obsessed with it. I got on the scale this morning and I weighed 197, got right back on it and said 200, got right back on it and it said 198 so I am going to buy a new scale today! My mom said I should have just gone with the 197 and left it at that. I told her that I wanted to make sure that what I was weighing was correct and obviously with the way my scale is acting it is pretty "iffy". So... if I actually do weigh the 197 then I have lost 3 lbs since the start of this 2 weeks and I only have 2 more to go to make goal weight. I had a rough friday, but all in all I ate fairly decent despite my breakdown with the brownie. Yesterday was a good day and so far today has been great. It is 11:30 where I am and I am getting ready to go grocery shopping for the week. I have already made out my menu and that helps me stick to my grocery list not to mention it helps my grocery bill as well. Everyone wish me luck that I stick with what is on my list and that I don't get anything extra! Both my children wanted to go with me but I felt it best that they stay at home with their daddy so I am not tempted to buy anything that is not good for us. Everyone knows how kids are in the store... "Mommy, can I have this? Mommy I want some of that! But we have never had this before Mommy!". My little one is a hoot in the grocery store!
hah* yes little kids are crazy in grocery stores! They want everything haha* Well good luck - stick to your list & menu! It will make it easier not to have tempting foods in the house.
I have decided that I will weigh myself at the beginning of every day - trying to do it only once a week but I do have so much more to lose that I want to make sure I stay on track. But .. I will only do it once a day. That is it. haha*
Well I need to get back to cleaning - man is it HOT out today! Phew!
Have a good one
mine fluctuates just as much too. but i only count my lowest morning weight. and if i get on the next day and im 2 pounds heavier i dont count it because i saw a lower number that week. so if i weigh on sunday and im lets say 135, then on tuesday im 138, i will still say im 135 because thats the lowest number i saw for that week. i just have to make sure it goes back to 135 by the following sunday or else i feel like i have had a setback!
Trust me I know how hard it is not to step on the scale! My start weight was 238, and I'm down to 225 - so I haven't lost too much yet (but it's only been a month). I still say consistency is the key.
