[AB Editor]

Hi all,
Here's our new thread for August - previous thread is here: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Weight-Loss-and-Dieting/Question1557914.html

How is everyone getting on? My partner and I have started going for a walk every Sunday morning, weather permitting - eventually we will work our way up to running!

[Old_Geezer]

Yay ! Brilliant.

Well done xstitcher .I have not lost an ounce but ok with that as long as I don't gain .

[Old_Geezer]

Up yet again. This time 0.2 lbs (for both the whole week, and the last 24 hours).

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, I'm down one pound and very pleased. I did try weighingnevery day but so gave it up as it varied so much. Once a week suits me.

[Old_Geezer]

Morning.

Despite going down 0.4 over the last 24 hours, I'm still UP ANOTHER 0.2 lbs for the week. And these are the summer months. unbelievable.

>:-(

[wendilla]

Bit late I thought I had posted earlier brain must have blanked out anyway scales have not moved .I am beginning to think they are stuck . Think this means I must try harder .well done again xstitcher .

[xstitcher]

Good morning all,

I stayed the same this week. I didn't expect that but I know that weight swings a lot so I'm not feeling bad about it but do miss the high feeling. I haven't strayed off the straight and narrow so it will be okay.

[Old_Geezer]

I was expecting to go down over the last 24 hours, but have gone up :-(

So, I too, have stayed the same for the week.

[wendilla]

another stay the same but ok with that as long as I don't gain .

[xstitcher]

I don't know where my head was on Wednesday morning because I didn't stay the same I went down a pound. I can see I stayed the same as a sneak peek I had on Monday.

O_G, you're still getting on the scales every day. Once a week will give you a better idea of how it's going, as you've been told many times. Get off those scales! :)

I've found I'm the same weight whether I'm off or on my diet, so - guess what! - I'm off it. I'm not a big eater anyway so a little of everything does me fine.

OG I've been a consultant for Slimming World and the absolute worst thing you can do it weigh yourself every day. Weight can fluctuate so much it's ridiculous. Pick just one day a week and stick to that, and the. At the end of the month see how you've done over the 4 weeks. It's the only realistic way to do it.

[Tilly2]

My weight goes up every time I have a cup of tea. I've had three cups this morning!

[Smowball]

Exactly Tilly. That's my whole point. My weight can change by 4lbs from one day to the next. I haven't gained 4lb in actual body fat! It's just I've drank far more fluid etc,

[Old_Geezer]

I've replied many times that weighing myself daily doesn't change the trend of my changing weight, it just keeps me in the dark all week.
