Repeat after me, weight loss is not linear, weight loss is not linear, weight loss is not linear
I was just going to post the SAME thing!!!
Now, say it with US: Weight loss is not linear!0 -
So, are you SURE you didn't exceed your calorie deficit range?
This. Most people who are having trouble losing are actually consuming more than they think.0 -
I just went and got my bi weekly weigh in and I put on a kilo even thru I ate my calorie range so upset...I have been trying so hard to lose weight and this is just a depressing blow to the stomach.
This is why you should weigh every day instead of once every two weeks. If you weighed every day, you'd just have to wait a day to weigh again.
Now you have to be "devastated" for two weeks.
uh no. Your body weight can fluctuate from 2-4 pounds daily from water weight. Weighing every day is a bad idea when you're easily upset by what the scale says.
Once a week. or twice at the most.0 -
I second that. LOL...awesome explanation!0

Thanks everyone I think I was just eating to much sugary stuff well now its back to basics I am starting again from the beginning when I lost the weight so I am hoping this is just a minor slip up...I just got to confident in eating treats that i think it put the kilo back on...no more treats lol...0

There are a lot of problems with this comment. First, a single weigh-in means absolutely nothing about your progress or lack of progress. You simply don't know if this is a minor unrelated bump in water weight or if you actually gained some body mass. Since you don't have any additional information about weight from the past two weeks, you simply don't know what's going on.
Since you don't know the cause of the scale number, it's foolish to start changing things or blaming this or that. Your diary is closed so we can't see what you're eating. Have you eaten too many calories in the past two weeks? It's not the fault of "sugary stuff" but if you've eaten too many calories then you should cut back down on calories.0 -
*bows*I like to think that my body has a co-dependency relationship with fat. When I lose weight, I occasionally go through phases where the fat comes back, and I imagine that it's like an annoying ex-lover who doesn't understand that my body doesn't want to put up with its s*** anymore. But every now and again, my body goes, "Oh, okay, maybe one more try... no, f*** it" and then like four pounds come off at once.
I am nominating this post for the best explanation ever of up-and-down weigh-ins.
... and now I'm trying to think of how to rewrite the song "I Will Survive" from the point of view of a dieter. I am too weird for words at times...
EDIT: And 10 minutes later, I come up with this:
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinking, I could never eat unless the food was fried
And how I spent so many nights, eating cookies by the pound,
Until I found, that my body shape was round
So to that fat, all over me
I know it's both our faults you made my toes impossible to see
I should have skipped that chocolate cake
I should have taken yoga class
But now I've simply had enough of you just riding on my a**
Go on now, go, get off of me
Just melt away now, 'coz I am losing weight, you see
You were the one who shot my blood pressure sky high
Set my heart racing until I thought that I would die
Oh no not that, to hell with fat,
Oh, I'll miss my late night bingeing fits, but I can live with that
I've got a life to live, you see, I've got some muscle still in me
So, goodbye fat, health's where it's at, hey hey!
It toook all the will I had not to eat it all
I had to learn Domino's understands if I don't call
I may spend way too many nights just craving everything I see
I want to feed, but I'll eat only what I need
So when you see me looking great
It's coz I'm strong enough to not completely clear my plate
And when I feel like giving up and thinking I just can't survive
I'll think of just how great I'll feel when I'm 175
Go on now, go, get off of me
Just melt away now, 'coz I am losing weight, you see
You were the one who shot my blood pressure sky high
Set my heart racing until I thought that I would die

OMFG that is awesome! I was bopping along singing it at my desk. My co-worker now thinks I am crazy (well, to be honest, she already did...). You rock!!!0 -
It may seem obsessive but maybe weight yourself everyday for a month or so. I started doing this and keeping track on a spreadsheet and it is interesting to see the ups and downs. I even mark notes on the days I eat out and my sodium was higher than usual. It has been very interesting to see if there are any trends and helps keep you from getting down when you can look back and notice that you have been there before and everything was fine a few days later.0

So maybe your body is doing the same thing.
Hahahahahaha. This is amazing.0 -

Now, say it with US: Weight loss is not linear!
This. Exactly. I weigh myself once a day, every morning around the same time. For the last 6 weeks, I've been writing it down on a calendar. There were a couple of weeks where my weight went up instead of down, and yet I was following my diet, exercising etc.
So I input the numbers in a spreadsheet. And you know what I saw when I graphed it? Ups and downs. Yeah, my weight at that time may have gone up, but as a whole, it was going down. My weight loss as a whole loos a lot like the waves of an ocean. But the end result is always the same. As time goes on, the current waves are lower than the ones I started with.0 -
Devastated is a pretty strong word. Just stay active, eat the right amount of calories, and eventually you'll meet your goals.0

Except they make no sense. If you weigh once a week you have the entire week to be upset about that one blip on the scale.0 -

Everyone goes through this!! Keep your head up!! Just keep doing what you are doing! I would maybe do a few extra mins of exercise, or do a few different exercises. Sometimes all you have to do is toss it up a bit! You are doing great!0

Samuraiko: omg your rendition of "I will survive" is freaking awesome. Totally cheered me up0

my weight fluctuates all the time and it pisses me off. I am told it is more common in women, just something we have to deal with. Frustrating yes, but keep doing what you are doing and the weight will come off in no time0
