168.5 this morning---and I'm completely satisfied. Can you believe I'm happy that it's more than 166? I know it sounds crazy but at least the freakin' number changed. I was getting so pissed off just seeing it bounce back between 166 and 167 for 3 darn weeks.
So far this morning I've had 1 1/2 donuts and about 18 hershey kisses---can you tell I'm mad that 'eating well' didn't produce any results? I'm going for the shock approach I guess....eat what I want for a couple days and then get back my motivation to watch the scale just sit there.
So, I told you guys about how I use the 5-day average weight, and that's why I weigh every day.
I'm just curious as to why everyone else weighs every day. Because with fluctuations that can be up to 3 pounds, how can you really tell what is fat and what is water/food/bowel contents, etc? In other words, how is the every-day weigh in helping you?
Generally, I don't fluctuate. It does happen, but it's rare. I'm usually either the same, or an ounce or two less everyday. (So far, cross my fingers!) I like knowing where I'm at, and seeing it go down, even by .2, keeps me motivated.
I fluctuate...but it just gives me a sense of calm for some reason. Mentally I say to myself..."Don't go above this number!" and if I don't...I'm alright. If I do...I realize there is some work to be done. Seeing dramatic increases over an extended period of time is what I'm watching for.
That's crazy- i fluctuate less now that I've been doing it for a while, but there are days when i jump up 2 pounds only to drop down the next day. It was tough to deal with for a while there...
Plus, I really have no idea how accurate my scale is...
138 will this ever move......btw I went to the store today and resisted getting my fav pie...PECAN pie just so that I am not posting 141 tmmrw Boy am I proud of myself....
