and it was all PMS bloating. it means nothing.

i know i was very bloated this month but i thought i would post just to illustrate a point.
i've seen a few threads by women who weigh daily, freaking over sudden gains.

    LOL im with you I weight weekly for that very reason. My body can shift 5-6lbs depending on the time of the month.

    I needed to read this. I've been 'good' for 4 days. No beer, no crisps, no chocolate and eating between 1300-1400 kcals and I've gained 3lb. This is officially the joint heaviest I've ever been in my life (last time I was this weight was 8 years ago) and, really, I should know that getting on the sodding scales once a day will do nothing to motivate me I just can't seem to help it.

    Battery will be removed and disposed of this evening.

    i'm glad this was helpful.

    it's far too easy to obsess over the scales. even for guys, full tummy, bladder & bowel weigh pounds more than empty belly, bladder & bowels. we're no slimmer or fitter for taking a dump!
