I counted it!

jhacker

I have been on a bit of a plateau. I weighed myself this morning and the number was still the same. I ate a good breakfast, lunch, and worked out. After showering, I decided to weigh myself again and I was down 2.5 lbs.!!

Is it wrong to count this as a weight loss since I weighed myself at a different time of day???:ohwell:

I was just so excited to see a different (and lower) number!!!:bigsmile:

What do you think?

Zipping my lip on this one.

congrats!

Excellent lip control, Boss.

I echo the congrats. On THE Team thread, we have been bantering back and forth about the efficacy of the scales as the source of our esteem. One of our team members' husband has hijacked her scale! We decided to reframe the plateau into "this is the place where I catch my breath for the journey

I weigh as much as 3 times each day!!! I get so motivated when I see an all new low number! The lowest number I have seen is 186! I started at 212. I was changing my ticker to show my lowest weight, and leaving it there when it fluctuated. (This was at 198) Recently I changed my strategy when it took a week 4 that number to stabilize. I'am thinking I SHOULD put my ticker to show my new low.... I need some motivation. I've gone over my calorie alotment three days in a row now, and I'm currently on a sugar high. I also skipped my three one-hour treadmill dates this week. Maybe I will take the pressure off next week and allow myself to cut back to 30 minutes each on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

I do that too. It makes me feel better and I think its okay.

Once a day for me only so if i do mess up I know exactly where i went wrong food wise

I count it.

Here is my reasoning.

You will NOT Gain a pound of fat back until you have consumed 3500 addl calories.

SO my body is 138- it just has more waste at some times, more water retention, more air-I dont know............I just know it is not more fat!!

I do not change my ticker until I see a lower weight, then keep it there until I see a lower one.

What works for me.............keeps me motivated!!

I have done that before ( and within the past couple of weeks) ! and my weight loss was true.

I do what arewethereyet does.
I weigh daily after a shower, then every time a lower number comes up, I claim it & post it!
:happy:
Then I know if I need to drink more water that day & watch the sodium, or if I'm holding steady. It never goes up more than 2# from the day before. And when it goes down, I want to be the first to know!!!!
