Hey someone sent me this link a while ago, I think it's a good explanation of what you are talking about with regards to water and glygogen storage

Bump. Thank you

So true! I always make clients go about 5lbs *below* goal, and *stabilize* there, before going up to maintenance....otherwise it's like being on a seesaw and they just don't get why they keep "regaining"

Always love your posts, girl :smooched:

Bump so more people will see this!

"The number on the scale means nothing, the number on the scale means nothing, the number on the scale means nothing." I repeat that every time I weigh myself and see a fluctuation.

Awesome info, thanks!

Thank you so much for this. Most of the posts on here are related to weight loss and not maintenance so I found this very helpful.

I too am a fan of keeping range, rather than a set number. This post makes a lot of sense in regards what I see with my own body day in and day out.

This is really helpful and makes so much sense, thanks!

Or you could stop worrying about the number on the scale and concentrate on body composition.

That said, I thought this said "...if you eat more than your CAT." I am disappoint.

So If I want to get down to 110-108 pounds...currently 115. I have to actually get down to 105??? So confused.

Thank you. I feel like I should have reasoned this out (as it makes sense when you think about that glycogen deficit that is created from the initial quick weight loss) but weight loss/weight is so emotional that it clouds reason sometimes.

Thank you so much. I will have to remember this when I reach my goal.

How much did you lose your first week dieting?

smwooley

This is amazing....I never knew this before! Thanks for the info!

Just a bump in case someone needs to read this.

RobynLB83

That is an AWESOME explanation! I think I've known this, because I've seen it with my training patters, and been like, yeah, that's from the water in my muscles, but I haven't connected it to that annoying post diet rebound. So much clearer now.

I didn't know all the science, but I pretty much know that to stabilize at 55 lbs below what I was before I will need to lose 60...

This was great to hear today, because i just got back from a weekend of over-indulgence and gained 5 lbs. But back to business and the gym today! :flowerforyou:
