I am more than shocked how much I lost this week, I had to double check my weight to make sure it was the true result. I worked hard, stayed on track and it paid off. I know it will slow down in the weeks ahead, but I feel good and am not feeling hungry (my biggest fear when trying to lose pounds). I think I have a good plan in place and think I can make it to my goal this time. Thank you group for being here and holding me accountable.

Updating my weight … I accidentally weighed myself today thinking it was the 8th 😂

I found it very useful to weigh myself every week rather than everyday. My weight tends to go up and down throughout the week -which makes me feel disappointed and then The snow ball of ‘it doesn’t matter so I will eat everything I want’ starts and get bigger and bigger .. but weighing myself weekly gives me something to look forward to throughout the week ..

November Start Weight: 197 pounds
November Goal Weight: 188 pounds
Ultimate Goal Weight: 143 pounds

October 31st: 197 pound
November 7th:194 pound
Will weigh again next Monday

My weight fluctuates a lot too. A lot. Pounds per day sometimes. I have found a way to look past that; maybe you can too. Maybe not.

If daily weighing causes stress, maybe don't do it. On the other hand, if you understand that there will be daily fluctuations, you can do what I do - I use a spreadsheet and pay more attention to a ten-day rolling average. Better than that, you can use a resource that uses a "weighted moving average" that gives more importance to the most recent weight but also considers the last several days - often ten days.

I can gain or lose many pounds in one day. It goes up and down. Well, lately it's gone up, but I ignore the wild fluctuations to see the real trend. As an example, if I only weighed in one day a week, and if my weigh-in day was Sunday, the last two weeks my daily weight would have been one to three pounds higher than my ten-day average weight.

You can learn more about this in The Hackers Diet, especially the section on "Signal and Noise."

If you can train your brain to ignore the daily number and instead focus on the trend, you'll have better information to work from. With that in mind, weighing multiple times per day is probably NOT a good idea. That's why I weigh first thing in the morning, well second thing in the morning, wearing the same thing - nothing.

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

11/01-199.8-(Trend Weight: 200.2)- Was it the travel weight, the Halloween candy, or the 3 hours of sleep last night? Moving forward, but remembering in the Book of Psalms that it says in part “My life is continually in my hands……”

11/08-198.2-(Trend Weight: 199.7)- Traveling today downstate to accompany a friend on a specialist medical appointment. She needs me today and Friday to be a driver. Dinner will be out in the big city. Between that and no pill during travel, my weight tomorrow will be a disaster but I will bounce back. Even with several days of travel, I am aiming for another loss by next week’s weigh-in.
