Your thoughts (girls only please)

I feel like I say this all the time (especially at work!), but numbers are our friend!

Many ladies (including myself) gain at menstruation and ovulation. It ended up that, for me, I actually preferred to know daily fluctuations once I knew that I gained twice a month for a few days each. So, I weigh daily.

Last week I ovulated on Friday or Saturday. So my weight over the last week starting thurs was 203, 206, 210 (EEK!!), 208, 208, 207, 206, 206, 204 (today). It does that twice a month every month. Before I started weighing daily, I'd see Saturday morning weights of 219, then 224, then 218. Weirded me out. It's the overall trend downward that I like to achieve. Since restarting this Jan, I've dropped a max of 18lbs, and 36 since I started two years ago. That's what is important to me now.

Although, even knowing that my weight fluctuates doesn't stop the frustration. So, I often still just need to remind myself to chill, ride it out, and kick some butt during my workouts! It will all be over in a couple days!
