Daily weigh fluctuations - WHY?????

justahorsen

I weigh everday and watch the trends on a spreadsheet....just the way I am, and it really helps me see what food does what to my body.......
If you eat Ice cream and drink Diet Coke all the calories are removed.....works for cake and donuts too!!!:laugh:

It is advisable to weigh yourself once a week due to daily fluctuations. sometimes its just your body retaining water. That being said, you should try to eat healthy, sticking to your caloric intake is good, but healthy eating brings better results. If you like ice cream, check out the weight watchers collection. You can find it in grocery stores

I weigh daily, but don't take every day's weight "personally." I take it as an "ok, so what did I eat to skew this" or "ok, I am right on track" or "I need to be a little tougher today." But I definitely agree on the weight watchers collection. The cookies and cream ice cream bar is DELICIOUS. Chocolate ice cream covered in crumbled chocolate cookies. (can you tell I LOVE chocolate!?) I have some starbucks ice cream about once a month, but the weight watchers is what I eat most.

if you consume ice cream, regardless of being within your calories, you instantly gain 1lb per 1/2 cup serving.

Huh?

I actually did a test one day and weighed before and after a pee and it was 2lbs difference ..... not kidding!!

I feel the need to confess that I like to (somewhat regularly) weigh myself before & after peeing just to see how much it weighs.

haha i do this too!

There's a fair amount of salt in ice cream. So I bet you are retaining water.

did not know this
