Ok guys now I'm Really puzzled!

[cher36]

My weight has been staying the same each and every morning 106.5. But saturday I went to our fave mex restaurant and ate the chips and salsa and chips and cheese dip, along with my meal. Then preceded to come home and eat quite a few girl scout lemon coolers cookies(don't buy them, they're the devil ) Also had kettle corn popcorn that night. I was a bad, bad girl (it was my cheat day but i went overboard)
Anyway I get on the scales sunday morning and hmmm weight 105.
This is the kind of crap that makes unsure of everything I do.
What gives???

again - unless you have a bf pinch test - you DONT know what the scale is telling you.


You cant expect to see a reliable difference in sacle weight on a daily basis...My weight fluctuates 6 pounds during the day.

Weight alone means nothing. STOP weighing yourself so much. Do it 1x a week on the same day, at the same time.

Might also just ask -- how are your clothes fitting? Are you noticing a difference there? As I said -- my weight has fluctuated about 3 lbs over the last 2 1/2 months but I've dropped 5% bf & all my pants now hang on me.

My weigh does the same.. if u drink alot of water u can go up and down all day long..

 

[cher36]

I know it can fluctuate, so I weight myself first thing when i get up each a.m.
I just don't understand why it went down after a bad eating spree.
Yes, my pants are somewhat looser (hooray)!!

 

[Sassy69]

Could be you caught your weight after expelling some water weight. You don't immediately "get fat" after eating. There's also a hang time with carbs before they are absorbed. Carbs require water to be "held" so perhaps that hasn't occurred yet.

 

[Daisy_Girl]

Things happen. Maybe your metabolism needed a boost after dieting for awhile. The extra calories and so-called "bad food" did just that.

This is EXACTLY why I do not think ANY food is "bad". It is all about moderation. Thinking certain foods are "bad" only leads to YOU feeling bad about yourself. ANd why do that?

DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY. This is totally counterproductive. If you know weight can fluctuate, why do that everyday? It is pointless. Do it 1x a week, same day, same time.

hmmm also it's 1 day of eating badly...1 day is not going to have much affect on your body, unless you're having 1 of these days everyday.

Give yourself a day every week to eat what you want, like a reward for eating clean for the other 6 days.

Same here there at least a 4-8 lb difference just on water alone and I mean intake.

Think about how much a gallon of water weighs.
