Weekly Weigh In

Last Week - 169 This Week - 176!!!!!!!!! WHATTTTTTTTT THEEEEEE **********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday morning when I got on the scales I still weighed 169, today they have shot up 7 pounds! How can that be - typical. All summer I don'****ch what I eat, and bounce around the same numbers - ok I'm fine with that because I know why. The minute I star****ching and monitoring and improving in many ways, AND start being more active (and NO it's not muscle building stuff either) I go up 7 pounds OVERNIGHT! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi Ruth you can go up from water, and or getting ready for that time of the month ,or just not having gone(#2) much... you will not go up from eating right... your body will let go of it.. if you stay on track... I will go up 3lbs and then drop 4 in a few days from all that stuff... its ok just stay focused... as for me I have lost 145lbs I lost either 1 or 2 this week and I am at 137, my personal goal was 135.. but now I think I would like to be 125 (which I think will happen when I have my plastic surgery in Oct)

Ruth... You MUST have some BAD scales!!! Last week I was at 193 Thiis week 186.5 I thought I did bad all week,very stressful,back at work having the 2 grandkids yet,looking for sitters for them!! Maybe theres something wrong with my scales!!! Hope not,I have 2 of them in my bathroom!! Isn't that awful??

Woohoo Karen That is a GREAT week for you - well done. Remember this for the weeks when you feel fed up, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Hi Ruth! It takes eating 3500 calories to gain a pound ... there is NO physical way you could have eaten that much to gain 7 pounds! No way! It has to be water or some other issue that is causing that ... it will come back off! My fitness coach told me that when you increase your activity, your body holds onto the water so you actually need to drink extra water to help flu**** out of your system. So, it very well could be water retention. I know it's hard not to worry ... but it will come back off!!! I stayed the same AGAIN this week (167.25 lbs.) for the millionth week in a row! Okay, it just seems like a million weeks! Deanna

That is very common when you first start working out.. you body retains fluids cause the muscles swell from the exercise.. it takes a few weeks but the scales will do a drop and than continue on the downward slide. know that you're ok.. it happens.. and the end results are what is gonna count here...

last week 122 this week 121 keep gaining and loosing the same 3 pounds which is ok because I am trying to maintain and not go below 120. congrats eveyone on all your sucess.. 264/121/135.
