Yay! I weight myself about 5 times on Monday morning and stick with the weight that showed up more consistently on the scale. I also check my weight every day just because I'm a nutjob but I really kind of ignore it because I know it fluctuates a lot from day to day; that is probably what happened to you.

Yes, they do add up! Gotta keep it up! As my husband and I always say (and we even make the gesture with our hands): "It's something!"
Bahahaha!

Female friends can be so weird about weight! My co worker was going on and on about how I looked "perfect" and shouldn't lose another pound. It annoyed me so I steered the conversation toward her own weight (she is trimmer than I am and a few years older than me.) Cornered, she had to reveal that we were the same height yet she weighs 35 lbs LESS than me. Somehow I am "too thin"... mm hmm *side eye* She sort of stammered out something about our builds being different, but she knew she was making no sense -.- My figure is looking more provocative the more weight I lose which is making a couple of my age group peers increasingly uncomfortable. Deal with it
Thank you, TooWicky! I'm looking forward to the 180s! Actually one of the gazillion times I weighted myself on Monday morning the scale showed 186.8, and I was like "heck yeah!" but I knew it was not "real" so I weighted myself other times and it showed 190.8 consistently.
As for your female friends... ugh. What's with women, dude!? My best friend told me "why are you dieting so hard? You're gonna get pregnant and get fat again." Just like that. It bugged me to no end. She's taller than me, slim and athletic, she doesn't struggle with weight, and is absolutely confident about her body (I'm not any of that, and I'm working on my body image). I pretty much told her "haha, I only gained 6lbs with my last pregnancy so shove it, haha!" But I was truly meaning it. I know it's her personality; she's a go getter, a straight shooter. But I'm not that way, and I'm more sensitive than her so her lack of support bothered me. And it went on; she continued questioning why I couldn't eat avocados (my favorite), if they are "healthy fat" and that I need to eat fat to lose fat and blah blah. I love her, she's my soul sister, but she can be quite abrasive and for a more sensitive person like me who is working as hard as I am, her remarks bothered me. For a second. LOL. And then other classmates (skinny classmates, mind you), were like "you're still on that diet?" uh, yeah... I'm still on "that" diet. It's my lifestyle, and you better be on my side when I'm skinny because you won't be the hottest Argentinian in the classroom. LOL. Those are things I think and never say, of course. Hahaha! I was taught not to be rude but it doesn't mean I don't think about it.
Anyway... Thank you for sharing your little experience, because I wanted to vent about my experiences with women around me being unsupportive.
