Weight.. scales...

Okay... I've been trying but not really hard. I have NOT been drinking my water. That is where I'm screwing up. (have 3 cups down so far today!)

I've been getting on the scale WAY to much this week. I have been pretty much sticking at/around 190.
Wednesday night as I stripped for bed- stood on the scale and it said 190. 
Thursday morning - butt naked and before eating/drinking anything- it said 192. 
Thursday night- 190
Friday morning- 192

I am so SICK of seeing it NOT MOVE DOWN!!!   Okay... I know I'm not suppose to get on the scale that much and I haveto stop that cause I am getting really down about it. But do you think the scale is screwed up... or it is ME that is just screwed up?  Should I just try harder (i.e., drink my water!!) or buy a new scale AND drink my water?

Dh checked and my elliptical has arrived at the Seattle dock and is ON the barge :) It will be here in my house on Monday! That is something to really look forward to! I'm pretty excited to get it and start! I've been feeling really run down and tired lately. Like, I could gp to sleep RIGHT NOW if I could!

My scale has been doing the same thing and it's a ww one also. I got other things to get before the scale so a new one will just have to wait for me.  I've been thinking about the one that Jersey and everyone keeps mentioning.

Ya know, it really sounds like you've hit a plateau.  Keep it up because it has to eventually break soon.  I wonder what would happen if you shake things up a bit?  Getting on that new toy of yours on Monday might just do the trick!

      Scales are evil, wicked, lying little hunks of junk that have the ability to make or break our day!  Why would you want to give something that hateful the power to put you in such a foul mood.  If you were dating it, you would have put it out by now. You seem to have a grip on the fact that you are weighing yourself waaaay toooo much.  Maybe if you made the decision to only weigh once a week,  then that might actually put you down to once a day.  Ya gotta start somewhere, no? I hope that all of your scale days are great days, Mary

Has this 'plateau then loss' pattern happened before?

I know it happened heaps for me.  I wouldn't change a thing and it would stall, I'd get cranky... then suddenly things would be moving again.  Maybe you could try stepping up the intensity of of your exercise short spells- see if that kickstarts your loss again- that always worked for me anyway.

Hang in there...

Just a quick thought- have you have your iron levels checked lately?

What's your daily menu look like?  Maybe you could change it up a bit?  Some find that adding more fat to their diet gives them a loss.  Definitely, getting in your water helps. 64 a day I always say!
