I am not sure what my upcoming August 4th reading will look like. I had a huge water gain. On July 28th I weighed 220 on august 1st I weighed 245 a 25 pound gain and on August 2, today I weigh 230 a 15 pound drop from yesterday and from that 25 pound gain.

My starting weight was 226 and my goal is to lose 2 pounds a week which would equal 42 pounds. This makes my Thanksgiving goal weight at 184 pounds

July 07 ~ 226
July 14 ~ 224
July 21 ~ 222
July 28 ~ 220

Any chance your scale needs new batteries? Those are some crazy swings with numbers higher than I've ever seen before. Just seems like there's something even squirrelier (don't think that's a word) than water retention going on there...unless your primary food is a salt lick! ;)

BTW - the quote in your siggy in HILARIOUS! :rofl:

25 lb gain in a week???? What on earth is going on? Have you considered calling your doctor because that just does not sound good. Hope everything is ok!!

linJber 08-02-2011 03:34 PM

Larry - check the batteries in your scale or get new glasses! How can any of those numbers even be close? Hope all is well.

I'm such a weightloss nerd; I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow!

Larry - I hope your water whooshes away, or that you get a new battery for your scale, or that you clean your glasses - whichever you need and whichever works ;)

I'm on my way out of town this morning... I've got a couple of days of classes for work in Chicago, and then I'm going to spend a few days with my family since they live in the area. Staying 100% OP probably isn't realistic under the circumstances, but I'm going to work really hard at staying 90% to 95%.

Since I'm going to be out of town on Sunday, I weighed in this morning and am down another pound since my last weigh-in. :carrot:
