Sunday Weigh In - April 22, 2012

[Barb135]

Running late this morning, but I guess late is better than nothing. With our weather being as warm as it has been, I had some yard work I needed to get done....... plus it rained overnight, so the soil was easy to work in.

So, how's everyone doing this week?  I'm doing quite well.  My "winter neighbor" has gone back to her home state now, so I no longer have my walking partner, which I really miss. Because of that, I haven't been doing long walks every day, like we were together, but I've still been taking my dog for her walk every day; and the other day, I did quite a stint on the treadmill.  I think I'll get back to my yoga this coming week.

Anyway, in spite of not walking daily, etc, I still managed to drop 1.8 pounds; am now down from 149 to 147.2. I've still had a lot of swelling in my feet, but it's better today, which I'm sure is why I can claim the loss.

So - how about everyone else?  Hope you reached your goals.

Remember, we win by losing........ weight!!

Have a wonderful, successful week.

Think you might need to invest in some new scales :)

Thank you. I haven't had it tested cause ive always been fine losing weight in the past. I've been taking fish oil cause its suppost to help keep your thyroid healthy.

Well ill get on the scale and it'll be an outragous number like I gained 6 pounds but then ill get off then back on again and it'll say I only gained one pound. I usually do it in the morning after I use the restroom and before I eat. Thought digital scales just hated me.

Have you thought to have your thyroid tested?  Hypothyroidism is a major cause of weight gain.

What do you mean "The scale keeps changing"?   Do you mean your weight is fluctuating a lot?  It's normal for weight to fluctuate, depending on when you last ate, went to the bathroom, whether or not you are retaining fluid, etc.

You should weigh at the same time every day - after going to the bathroom and before eating/drinking.

I've been eating healthy and working out. The scale keeps changing whenever I get on it. Its frustrating cause I know its wrong. All I can hope is to lose some my Monday.. I usually go to my boyfriends house on the weekend and I seem to eat worse there. Does anyone have some tips so I can do really well? My goal is 140. I was 164 in december but I started birth control and it made me hungry lol. I am now 171-172. Whichever I want the scale to believe. But this is my life goal and really want to do this and everyone says I have there support but when I need them to help me or I tell them something I'm proid of they don't seem interested and it demotivates me.. any suggestions?

Well Im back (again)
