Weight Fluctuations

Posted by: delitaagain In: Updates| Weigh-In!!

So, Sunday is my weekly weigh in day because I began on a Sunday.

First Sunday, down 6.6 pounds.

Second Sunday, down 5.8 more.

The next day, Monday this week, the scale bounced up 3.2, but I had been *on plan* so I didn’t worry about it.

The next day, Tuesday, down 1 pound, so only up 2.2 from Sunday - the right direction.

The next day, yesterday, up .4, so up 2.6 since weigh in on Sunday.

Today - same, 2.6 pounds above my weigh-in for Sunday and I’ve been pretty solidly on the plan all along.

My theory is that Sunday morning I had just finished doing the 4-day anti-bloat jump-start for the second time, and that most of the *bounce down* in weight I experienced was a water weight loss. (I’m 58 years old so it isn’t hormones.)

This means where I am today is probably a *true* weight, giving me a true weight loss of 8.7 pounds over 2 1/2 weeks.

I can live with that.

Does this mean I get to re-celebrate all those mini-goals and milestones once I re-drop that next 2.4 pounds? =) =) =)

Hey, weight loss is weight loss regardless of if you are “re-losing” it or not :) Defintely celebrate when you drop the 2.4 lbs again.

Sadly, almost any diet where you drop a large amount of weight fast can be followed by a week or so when you don’t lose anything (or even gain). I suspect it is mostly water and your body’s reaction to changes in food. Just keep going and the weight will come off.
