I need a support system in my life. It's hard to exercise and change the way you eat when you're the only one in a family of 5 that wants to make changes. That makes it even more difficult to stay accountable, and I need that. I hadn't felt right in about 6 months. I was so fatigued and being a teacher, a Mom of 3, and taking care of my niece and nephew so their parents can work, I need all the energy that I can get. Yet, I was falling asleep as early as 6:30, and I felt like I didn't sleep at all when the alarm went off at 6. I started noticing that my left arm started to tingle and become numb. Then, it spread down my left side and all the way down to my toes. My grip was weaker, and I was struggling to open jars. I finally went to the doctor, and I found out I have a B12 deficiency due to taking medication prescribed from my specialist for GERD. I also discovered that my LDL (bad cholesterol) was better than it has been, but it was still bad, and my HDL (good cholesterol) was too low. It was recommended I lose 7 -10% of my body weight, take 1000 B12 supplement, and exercise 30 minutes a day for a total of 150 minutes a week. So, here I am...trying to improve my health. It isn't an easy thing to do, so I wanted to be a part of something that would keep me motivated and support me along the way. I want to stay on the wagon. I need to. When I started my weight loss journey, I was 202 lbs. This is my first round doing the 10 day challenge. With that being said...
06/22: 195
06/23: 193.5
06/24: 192.5
06/25: 191.5 I AM THRILLED! I JUST HIT MY 10 LB. MARK.
06/26: 193.5 I AM BUMMED! Sometimes, I think that weighing myself every day is bad for my mental health because when I see the numbers on the scale go up, I get incredibly upset. However, it's almost like this compulsive thing that has me going back down to the scale every single morning to see if anything has changed at all. Today, is one of the days that I wish that I never would have looked. I stayed under my calorie intake yesterday, but I must be truthful, I had a slice of my own birthday cake. It's almost 500 calories alone for this cake! Also, since I exercised 6 days straight, I gave my body an active resting day. Now, I feel so guilty. I pushed myself to do an hour of cardio and upper body strength this morning, and I feel sick, sick, sick to my stomach. It's awful!
Calm down. Everyone fluctuates: hormones, water retention, too much sodium, whatever. Remember who won the race? The turtle. Of course we all hate to see the numbers go up but try to assure yourself that they will go down. Keep at it and they will.

The scale used to be my worst enemy. At some point, I realized my weight was just going to fluctuate and that was okay. I use a trending app like a lot of people here do (it's called Happy Scale by the way) and it helps me to realize and accept that my weight fluctuates, but I'm still going down!

Day Weight Comments
6/22-166.0
6/23-166.0
6/24-166.0/ I was reading and seen someone mention there scale was acting winky and needed new batteries, so I thought maybe mine is too. I weighed 164 then 166 today.... So I will see tomorrow what the difference is.
6/25-166.4/ I guess the batteries were good, still hanging on to the same number. Better then going up on a weekend.
6/26-166.6/ I think I need a new scale it gave me 4 random numbers so I picked the one that was similar to other days ugh. I had an awesome moment I fit into a size 9/10 and I haven't been in that size since 8th grade and I'm not 32 woohoo

Don't get too thrown by the daily variations. You will go up and down two or three pounds seemingly overnight due to water retention. Something as simple as eating something salty or exercising with increase water retention for a day or two. The extra calories of a few alcoholic drinks will have less effect on the scale than the dehydrating effects overnight.
Don't pile on guilt about these variations in weight. In fact, don't pile guilt on yourself PERIOD. In my experience, guilt is usually followed by a what-the-hell-I-can't-do-it-anyway reaction that leaves me where I started.

Thank you for that. I ended up at the ER today. I pushed myself too hard before my body was ready for it. I need to remind myself that weight is a rollercoaster.5 -

Thank you for the very kind words. I pushed myself so hard today that I ended up at the ER. I sat in the parking lot for an hour but managed to not go in, but I was close. I'm not feeling well at all. My doctor says I just pushed my body harder than what it I am physically capable of at this time. Is the actual app called a Happy Scale?5 -
It is. Just google it or search in the App Store.3
