So I had a bad weekend, oh had chinese food and a few alcoholic beverages over a game of cards! I stepped on the scale this morning and I was 5 pounds over. Then I went and did some stuff (painting) and weighed myself again this afternoon and had come down to my normal weight less half a pound - why is this...and where the hell did that 5 pounds go so quickly??

This has been happening to me for over a week......wake up and down, within an hour I am up 5 pounds, by bed I am back down.....just weigh 1 time or this is gonna drive ya nuts............0

Chinese food can have lots of sodium. That will put the weight on quick, usually takes a couple days to come back down.0

Your weight naturally fluctuates all the time. That's why it's a good idea to choose a day of the week and a time of day to weigh yourself. Weighing everyday, or several times a day, can be pretty devastating when you're trying to lose weight.0

Exactly..............
I only weigh at the gym on Friday morning when I go at 6am, before having any food or drink for the day..........
I can't have a scale in the house because I am quite obsessive when it is in the house.........
The tape measure is my new best friend!!! :laugh: :laugh:0 -
