    I also like this article woman weighed herself every hour of the day about 15 times and saw her weight jump around seven pounds. I agree af is a good challenge but if you like a drink every now and then don't be yourself up over it. I'm doing it as a less alcohol challenge and had two drinks this weekend and the scale didn't move up or down which i'm satisfied with.

    I thought this would be a great article to share, but why on earth was she changing clothes, shoes, & socks every time she jumped on the scale? Hasn't she ever heard of minimizing the variables? :/

    right? she says shoes make a difference then continues to weight herself in shoes and why is one person changing shoes and socks that often?

    Right? I wonder if she was trying to increase the variability of her weigh-ins to make it more interesting. I did like the article, she has a nice light writing style and of course I agree with her point.

    I was impressed that the scale readings were as consistent as they were, considering. Her jeans must not weigh as much as my jeans ;) But the point would have been better made if she'd kept the same clothes on every time (who gets on the scale in heels?)

    Impossible. A pound is equivalent to 3500 calories, so you ate 2450 but burned calories (personally I burn around 1800 doing almost nothing in a day) so you only likely had 650 calories too much, which would take you 5-6 days of eating this much to gain a pound even. So it would take about 16 days of eating like this to gain 3

    I really watched it yesterday, really watched it and I put on another 3/4 of a pound! What am I supposed to do?? This is so disheartening. 😞

    I think you need to step away from the scale. While weight daily can be helpful for some, it’s clearly demotivating for you.

    Focus on hitting your calorie goal and being more active for 2 weeks. Then try stepping on the scale again. Or throw the scale out completely and focus on other ways of measuring progress like:

    - Progress Pictures
    - Measurements
    - How Your Clothes Fit

    I think we've seen the posts here where, on questioning, and OP turns out to have been weighing at different times of day wearing different clothes? I know I have. ;) Maybe that's why?

    There was a pretty recent "weighed more after breakfast" thread! (I don't know if the clothes changed, in that one, or not. Doesn't matter.)
