Hello everyone! Got a question.....How do you know what your REAL weight is when you get on the scale? I weigh first thing in the am after I go to the bathroom, then log it. Been trying to lose 5 pounds and it isn't going too well, very slow to be expected since it is the last 5. I drink a lot of water and been eating a very low to no carb diet and working out 3-4 times a week. Past couple days it was 115.3 (I am 5'1 and pear-shaped hoping to get down to 110). Then I get on the scale this am and it reads 117.4.
What gives?
This could be the reason: Went to Costco last night and ate a hot dog minus bread, had some diet soda and one sample. Okay, I caved. LOL There isn't 3500 calories total in what I ate all day yesterday with my bfast, lunch and what I ate for dinner so why in the world did the scale go UP? Water weight? I just want to know when this happens, what really is your true weight to go by on the scale? I do know our bodies fluctuate all the time but just a little discouraging. Life goes on.
Your thoughts.
