Weight is not consistant. Loss is not linear.

Yep!
This actually almost brought tears to my eyes...0 -
I weigh myself everyday with my wii, because if I had a normal scale I would weigh myself every time I went to the bathroom. I also love that it tracks my weight, BMI, etc for me. I give myself two shots, if I see an increase I can weigh myself one other time (center of balance can cause a slight fluctuation I have noticed) if it's still up on the second weigh I move on with my morning.
This morning I was up 1.5lbs, because I had had a very light dinner two nights ago and a big one last night trying to make sure after a really hard day of work m body had enough of everything to repair itself. This morning I didn't poo until after my second go on the scale so I guess I will just have a prettier number to look at tomorrow.
So long as the scale goes back down within a day or two, who cares if it goes up a little bit?0 -
I weigh myself daily, I find I'm less obsessed with the scale than I used to be - I used to look forward to the weekly weigh in and be disappointed if it was up, I also found that I felt great about a loss but then the next day I was worrying about gaining back.
I have a new strategy now, before weighing myself I tell myself that I'll probably be 0.5 kg heavier.
This week I'm down a kilo but definitely not linear:
Mon: 86.3
Tue: 86.2
Wed: 85.6
Thu: 84.6
Fri: 85.1
Sat: 85.30 -
Wow, everyone should do one of these charts. It's really an eye opener to see the linear trendline. I weigh only on Saturday, so the weeks I'm "mysteriously" up and gained...it's hard to keep positive sometimes. Even though I know from experience it's a blip and not to pay any attention, it's still hard not to dwell. But my plot points and the trend line looks just like yours This is too cool! And so reassuring. I'm going to continue doing this and when I have that weird week where I've gained, I'll look at this for reassurance to just keep trudging along.0

Here's mine, covering 50+ pounds of weight loss....
More importantly, here's the relationship between what I did lose, and what CICO said I should lose. This accounts for "cheat" days, holidays, etc...

I experience a lot of the up and down weight, but what I don't understand is how for the last 2 months I have lost less than 5 pounds but have finally lost 2 clothing sizes. It was like overnight. I went out and bought this new suit - size 12, got home tried it on, and had to take it to be altered for the leg length. When I got it back a week later, it practically falls off but I didn't lose any significant amount of weight! Is this normal?0
