YES and YES and yes, ups and downs are part of it. Though I said when I started on this forum I would not weigh but just once a week, I started posting on Sum's daily weigh in, and even I was blown away at how much it was. One one day, and I posted it on the other two threads I was posting in, I did a sudden dip to 240 from 248, then right back up to over 252. I was, frankly, a bit elated that the scales dipped to that 240. But I found some kind of anomaly about that weight, and posted it about a week after but for some reason the post did not stick. I will re-post that now. These new scales, which are very nice, and supposed to be very accurate, are susceptable to some sort of electro-magnetic fields. Some days after that 140 weight I had placed the scales in the same spot..... and 140 again. I moved it over a few feet and it went backup to 146....... So that was that sudden drop in weight. (When I post my last weight this month, may I use that spot again for it????) Anyway, the scales read purt much exact same thing except in that spot. So I stay away from that, don't like the disappointment of seeing a 6 lb gain later.
Both my mood and thinking ability and weight has fluctuated dramaticly this past month, I do not like it. Some days I felt like a Zombie. Day before yesterday I almost could not function at all, today I spent working on building a prototype of a new invention I am working on...... Sure hope for some more days like this one.
Anyway, as a good lady friend of mine is fond of saying, "Life is what happens while we make other plans." LOL now ain't that a b*tch ??
Anyway, my weight overall has been dropping, but goes up and down like a yo-yo as it does, and the "highs" and the "lows" both are on a downward slope overall. And despite knowing that, like Jaqui, I also had a hard time with it last month
Hang in there, I see every one of you making progress towards our common goal. to be healthier people who have to go buy a new smaller wardrobe
