    I don’t mean this to be mean, but slow down and take a deep breath.

    You’ve got dozens of posts going back years that are frantic and frenzied.

    Why don’t you slow down and pay attention to the process, instead of driving yourself crazy nitpicking every little aspect of weight loss?

    If you’d done this a year, two years, six years ago when you started, you could already be at goal by now, and have settled into maintenance.

    I’m a Type A personality myself. I can drive myself (and others, obviously!) nuts with details, but folks have given you their very best advice, and yet you come back with the same questions again and again.

    What’s the background noise that’s making your life so frantic and obviously stressful? Can you do something to calm your lifestyle so that it’s not a battle every single day?

    For me, it was getting rid of people and a job (family business) that were putting pressure, frustration, their anger and dumping their self-created problems into my life. I finally went “no contact”, as the kids say. Getting the crazy out of my life allowed me to breath and take back control of it.

    I feel your wheels turning wildly and out of control from here. I sincerely hope that you can step back and say, “maybe if I change this this this and this, then I can get control here and here.”

    Many hugs, brother. I hope you find a solution to what’s tearing you in twenty different directions. 😘

    I'm not going to go read your previous topics and stick to this one.

    If you're weighing right after exercising, stop doing that: it's not representative. Weigh yourself once a day at the most (weekly works too if daily fluctuations stress you out) in the morning right after going to the toilet, either undressed or dressed in a similar way for each weigh-in (for example, for me that's wearing my pyjama top). And look at the weigh-ins using a weight trending app like Libra or Happyscale.

    It sounds to me like you're jumping around too much, attaching too much importance to short term weight changes rather than the long term weight trend which is the true indicator of fat loss, and changing your approach based on these short term fluctuations.

    i just want to comprehend why weighting after execise weight is not real ??
    is it only becoz person become dehydrated ?

    why to weight my body when hydrated and weighting body weight + water may be plus food in GIT ?!!!!

    As you've been told, the main thing is consistency. Pick a time where you have the most consistentcy and just stick with that. Stop trying to game the system, there's no magic best time, it's the trend over time that matters.

    If you burn, say, 350 calories during exercise, that's the equivalent of 0.1lbs of fat. You can't see those kinds of changes on the scale short term, because of water weight fluctuations. Only the long term weight trend shows fat loss.

    Unless you're trying to figure out how much you should drink during exercise, don't weigh after exercising.

    You're trying to lose fat, not water, so only your long term weight trend will tell you if you're in the right track.

    Oh, Sweety, you don’t disturb me. I feel so bad for folks who are struggling with the weight thing. I’ve been there. Patience and sticking to it are what work, but humans aren’t patient creatures, are we? And so much social media, pressure from here there and everywhere to look perfect. It’s freaking overwhelming.

    Plus I’m going to guess that English isn’t your first language. If I had to express my frustration in another language (assuming I could even speak one!) , I’d go out of my mind.

    I was thinking about you this morning.
    Maybe this would help. I have a Renpho Bluetooth scale, and they updated their app a little while ago. There’s a new feature I didn’t even know about.

    I’ve put on some weight while traveling in Eastern Europe and Eurasia, then picked up a virus there that caused swelling and joint pain. That knocked me down for two or three weeks. So I picked up a fast ten pounds.

    I’m on a mission to lose them.

    I have been struggling with the ups and downs every single day when I’d weigh myself first thing in the morning. I know to expect these ups and downs but…. patience? I’m impatient to be back to my happy place.

    Anyway for the past week, I’ve been weighing myself first thing in the morning, and then angain after breakfast and my morning activities.

    My weight is usually 2-2 1/2 pounds less by the second weigh in. Which is the real weight? Whichever I decide it is! Both were “real” at the moment I stepped on the scale.

    Since I’m doing two weigh ins per day, I’ve noticed the scale is averaging the two weights, and I’m seeing a steady downward trend on the graph as a result.

    Here you can see it going wild (the 156 was immediately after a transcontinental flight and while I was still swelling from being ill.)

    But once I started taking a couple of readings per day, about a week ago, the averages have been very steadily declining.

    If you have a similar scale/app, and are experiencing the same large difference in the same day, look at the weight “trend” You may see a similar downward graph, and it might help to ease your mind.

    It sure has helped with my hamster brain.

    I hope that all makes sense?

    I'm going to try to answer your very specific questions very specifically. First, I'll say that others above are generally giving you good advice. It may not be what you want to hear, but it's true. Pretty much everyone commenting has lost meaningful total amounts of weight, and kept that weight off long term.

    It's just your body's momentary relationship with gravity. At that moment it is "real" weight, but it's very temporary.

    Only the many weeks trend of body weight gives you some insight into whether you're losing body fat.

    Our bodies can be up to 60%-plus water.

    Unless very overweight, fat is a smaller fraction of bodyweight. Even then, water is a large percent. Other things included in scale weight are muscles, bones, connective tissue, vital organs - we want to keep those! Besides that, there's waste in the digestive system on its way to the toilet. That has weight. There are also up to several pounds/kilos of gut microbiome that aren't even genetically us, but instead helpful friends that ride along in our digestive tract to help us stay healthy, and that are also included in scale weight.

    But body fat is the only part we really want to lose, right? That other stuff is good. Even body fat is good, if we have the right amount, neither too much or too little.
    is this just dehydrated body ?
    or what this number mean ?
    If we sweat a lot during exercise, but don't drink or eat much during exercise, our weight can be lower right after exercise. That can give us useful information that we might need to drink more water (or similar fluids) during exercise, but tells us nothing useful about fat loss.

    If we don't sweat much, but drink a lot of water during exercise, our weight can be higher right after exercise. That's OK, and also tells us nothing useful about fat loss (or gain).

    If the exercise is new or challenging, our body weight could go up once we drink more, and stay up for hours or even days afterward, because challenging exercise makes our body retain water to help with muscle repair. That is weight gain, but also a good thing - our bodies are smart that way, and we shouldn't try to stop them from doing that smart thing.

    That also tells us nothing useful about fat gain or loss.
    thank you

    Only the scale trend or tape measurements or clothes fit over many weeks - at least 4-6 weeks, maybe more - gives us useful hints about fat gain or loss.

    It can take even longer for muscle gain from exercise to affect scale weight, especially when fat loss is also happening.

    If your history includes many rounds of losing and regaining, probably part of the reason is this hope of short-term results, and a focus on that.

    Losing any meaningful total amount of weight and keeping it off is not a quick project with an end date, with steady scale (or measurement) drops along the way.

    Instead, it is a gradual process of finding sustainable new eating and activity habits that will first take you to a healthy weight, then keep you there long term, ideally forever. It takes patience and persistence.

    The long term benefits can be huge, but there won't always be those quick, positive good feeling from short term scale/measurement changes. That's just not how it works, in my experience . . . though I understand why so many people wish there were quick signs. I've been there.

    You can do this. It will require a different mindset. Focus on finding those new, positive routine habits, and practicing them until they're nearly automatic. That can work.

    Best wishes!
