t...o...m...
This morning or yesterday morning, as I'm writing well after midnight, I woke up feeling absolutely horrible and feeling as if I weighed a ton. I got on the scale and had a mini meltdown. I was blinking away tears trying to get a better look at the display on that cursed scale... 194?!?! How it is possible to gain back almost three pounds overnight makes no sense until you factor in lovely tom. I stood up straight, took a deep breath and went back to bed for another hour. Got up and just to make sure, I stepped on the scale again... 193.4. Ok. I walked around for ten minutes straightening up the house and then yup I went back a third time. I had to make sure... 192.4. I've lost my mind or the scale has lost battery power? So, I didn't make it above five minutes before my obsessive nature took over, I had to try it once more... 192.4. I took it, eh. I'm sure it was all water but the human body can be a mystifying thing sometimes. I cannot believe I let a scale control my morning, hormones. Yesterday morning I did a happy dance on that scale, this morning I almost kicked it. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. The day was much calmer as it went on and I went shopping. At least I'm laughing over my crazy right now and hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Scales can make you nuts! Try not to weigh yourself more than once a week.

I tend to focus more on waist size, weight loss can slow as muscle composition improves. So waist size can reduce even if weight loss remains stagnant.

This is why I don't weigh until after my morning walk (about 12:30). I retain a lot of water overnight and have to pee like every half hour for about 3 hours when I get up. So I go walking, burn off calories before I eat them and work the water out of my system. I usually have 2-3 bottles of water before I weigh in too lol. I've cut down on weighing in too. It used to be multiple times before I made it official and I was even weighing myself every time I got up in the night just to watch it go down as my food digested. Had to get over that obsessive thing.

sometimes I wish scales never existed. If all we went by was our measurements, we'd probably be a lot happier and less stressed hahaha. Of course it might take a little longer to see the results (but if we never knew about he scale we really would have nothing to compare to as far as timing is concerned lol) Our bodies can fluctuate up to 5lbs A DAY! A DAY!!! Crazy! I can get up and pee and weigh myself first thing in the morning. Then about 30 mins and hr later I'll use the potty again because the coffee has worked it thing (if you know what I mean) and I'll step on the scale after that and see that I dropped almost a whole pound. Then later in the day I'll be up pound or 2 and by be time I'm up by 5 from the very first weigh in. But the next morning, I'm back down to either the first weigh in or LESS than the first weigh it. Sometimes a pound MORE than the weigh in. I hate the scale! lol

I have the same problem with my scale - I can weigh myself before my shower then again after my shower (what, 10 min?) and it can be as much as a pound off either way. I'm also thinking the battery - I've had this scale for many years now; how long does a lithium ion battery last? So I understand your frustration!

scale obsession is the worst! the best advice I ever got was "weigh yourself once a day, after you get up and before you pee." that way it's almost the same conditions from one day to the next. you know it will fluctuate throughout the day, but it's the big picture that you're focused on.

OH the scale is not your only measure! GOOGLE an article called, "Why the Scale Lies" and understand the stupid scale...you are doing great - just stick to your plan!

I agree with Floatingluna. Try to limit weighing yourself to once a day at the same time every day (after you wake up). There will still be ups and downs, but if you stay consistent in RDI, you will make progress (and hopefully get more rest).

Thank you everyone. =D Lol, I think I was just overly sensitive yesterday I usually don't let the scale bother me that badly. I've been using a measuring tape and tracking my numbers that way too. Tomorrow I'll do a weekly measure and see how that works out.
