Water Weight???
How much is normal for your weight to fluctuate from day to day, with things like water retention and the like. I have been doing a little test to see how my weight moves from day to day, and it can really go from just a few ounces up one day to like 3 or 4 pounds, but then I always end up at my lowest number recorded. I…

Tomorrow is another day.
True, Scarlett, but putting weight loss efforts off til tomorrow's a big problem! I often wake up eager to do better today with food and exercise, and generally I go to bed feeling lousy because I overdid it on food (sometimes exercised a lot, sometimes not) Seems like I'm not the only one. I've noticed a fair number of us…

Feeling partially responsible for my wife's weight
When I met my wife, she was a little overweight and I was very overweight. At the time, she had a positive self-image despite her weight and tried to help me feel the same about myself. I've always thought she is beautiful and still do. However after 10 years together and having ups and downs with my own weight, I feel…

I can't help but wonder...
Is it the pills or is it me? I recently sought help at a place called Calorie Counters. My sister had been going there, and according to her, she's lost 7 lbs in 3-4 months... that didn't seem a lot to me, but then she explained she hadn't been sticking to the diet prescribed by the doctor at Calorie Counters. However she…

CHANGE ONE THING
We've all been at plateaus. We've all been in a place where we want to surge ahead and are dangling over precipices. I surmounted a plateau two months ago, and I'm happy to be where I am weight wise, but most people are never happy with 90% perfection - they want that last 10%, and I'm no different. I've decided FINALLY to…

Antibiotics
I've been taking antibiotics for about a week. I'm just wondering if they dry you out. The scale says I've lost 9 pounds this week. I'm kind of hesitant to log any of it. I'm going to cross check on another scale tomorrow. If the weight is still gone I'll put it on the scoreboard. Anyone had any experience with this?
-
Sometimes its good to ignore the scale
If you guage my progress by the scale you would think i am not doing good but if you guage it by my fat % and if you look at my clothes size you would say your doing awesome. I weigh 176-179 (fluctuates) wear a size 8 and have a fat % of 24.5% I used to be 26 a couple of months ago. My goal is to get to below 20% I would…
