Katie1309 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 So I 've been working out lots, watching foods and making good progress - was 66.5 last week, each time I looked, in the morning, same time, same scales (I know to check in morning) then today 68.2!!!! In 3 days!!! That would, if it was fat, have meant I'd eaten 14,000 extra cals over the weekend - we did go away for one night and had some beers and a barbie but still??? So is it water weight? Scales messing with my head? Could it be my cycle? Or just a really really big poo???!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantygirl Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Big big mistake to weigh yourself daily. Its amazing how much water weight can alter daily, every day is different depending on your routine, what you ate, timing of food, exercise etc. As tempting as it is, stick to one day per week, same time.

startinfromscratch Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 ive been putting on water weight for ages! lololololololololololololololol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Lol i totally know that freak out feeling though!! I had a cheat meal the other day that was not a really bad one. Bout 6 pieces of sushi and then 2 cookies and BAM i was 1.5 kgs heavier!! I was rather upset lol until someone very wise told me it would be water weight and that I was probably a bit dehydrated and maybe my current diet is a bit low on carbs.And yes your cycle definately affects that kinda thing too. I have to stop weighing myself daily too me thinks :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gym rat Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Very well said CG weigh yourself once a month or every second month which is another option plus it is a good instead of weighing your self each day which is going overboard a bit.

singular Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I've gotten into the habit of weighing and measuring myself on the 1st and 15th of each month only. I've been doing this since November last year. Todays measurements weren't wonderful because (for the first time) they hadn't changed . . . but on the positive side this means I'm absolutely certain I need to adjust my diet. Measuring only twice a month means I don't spend my time stressing about whether or not I should change things up, because it's obvious as a rock when I do.
