So this Sunday I had a major weight loss victory. I have lost 25 pounds since I started in December. I was 340 pounds which is the largest I have ever been in my life. Today I am 315. Although I am happy with my weight loss, the scale refuses to move! I weigh myself every day after work so that I can see how much water weight that accumulated throughout the day. EVERY DAY THIS WEEK MY WEIGHT FLUCTUATES TO 318! And then when I work out and go to sleep and weigh myself again in the morning it goes back down to 315 or 316! What is the problem!? I assume that it is the scale I was using is that each time I get on it, the numbers jump or it changes to different metric units.
I purchased a new scale from Amazon, and it will be here by Saturday. I will then compare the scales to see which one is most accurate.
I burn over 3,000 calories a day, work out five times a WEEK for 30 mins, and eat below or right at my calorie intake.

Today for lunch I had a
Turkey Sandwich on wheat bread, slice cheese, and mustard
Yogurt
and half of banana

Breakfast
oatmeal
half of banana

Dinner
Peanut butter and banana
( I do not be hungry when I leave work)

I am a teacher, and my students eat snack before they leave, and I also ate some of those peanut butter snack cookies(only 3)

So what is the big deal with the scale! I am going to give up RIGHT THIS INSTANCE. I was literally CURSING MY SCALE OUT AND BEATING IT.

    Are you worried because you weigh more in the evening than the morning or because you've held steady at 315/316 each morning for a few days? Either way, it's probably not your scale, and it's definitely not anything to worry about. Patience.
  • You're confused that your weight is more at night, after a day of eating/drinking/moving/exercise, compared to the morning?

    .... 3lbs difference is very little, imo

    I know but it's not digesting

    Do you not poo? Or do you poo food whole?

    Yes I poop each day I come home from work

    So you're digesting food.... It takes a while.

    If you are tracking accurately and honestly, it will. Your body won't defy physics, I promise.

    Guys I think she’s wondering why her weight in the morning isn’t going down from 315.... I don’t think she’s concerned that her weight fluctuates during the day...

    Read it again

    So you're freaking out about the scale not moving for 5 days? Weight loss is not linear. Water weight, hormones, etc can all make the scale not reflect far loss. Be patient.
