Ok, thanks ! Going to give that a go then. Will report back with weight in about a week. I'll definitely keep off the scales too as that BF reading really grinds on my nerves. I've ordered some callipers to use instead :-)0

A bit of good news: my calipers came in & w/ the 3 site measuring & an online calculator (i put in results, age & weight and it gives me my bf%) it says i'm 19.81 BF% - seems a bit "unbelieveable" to me, since the scale has me in the mid 20s... but i'm excited.
a bit of not so great news: my hubs is KILLING me on food intake. Last night he INSISTED we go out to mexican - and there is nothing healthy about it... it got to the point where it was either go or start an actual argument lol, so i'm not planning on dropping any bf% this wk... tmrw is the day so we shall see...
Also, my scale always reads me way higher than my bodyfat actually is. So I stopped using it.
OH that's what u meant by the HIGH sodium meal - i was trying to figure out what I'd eaten the night or directly before weigh in that would have spiked it. I didn't consider the sodium staying with me that long - but good point!, maybe next wk i'll be down by tons!! lol
I expected my scale to be weigh off, but the influx seems good so i keep track of both now - in case i need a quick check on influx & don't want to get out the calipers
(or the measuring tape)
It isn't really the sodium that sticks with you, it is the water you retained because of the salt. Depending on your bodies reaction, it can take a couple days for the water to flush out of your system.0 -

Good to know. I'm hoping this wks weigh in will be pretty good. I had an active wkend & think i did pretty decent for my cheat days. i wanted to "check" this wkend to see how i was doing, but i made myself hold off LOL. 0
