Thanks for starting the thread, and good luck this month!

We are away and I don't have a scale, so who knows until July 5.
We are at a bluegrass festival in Morganton, NC. Yay!

Goal- Anything under 120. Maintain under 120 lbs. On 6/30, 118 lbs on lower scale which is 1 lb lower than my other scale

7/2 119.5 lbs on the scale at Planet Fitness
7/3 121 lbs ?? Not morning, hope that's why, scale at Planet Fitness
7/4 who knows?!?
7/5 118.4 lbs on my lower scale
7/6 117.8 lbs (LS)
7/7 118.7 lbs (LS)
7/8 118.7 lbs (LS)
7/9 120.4 lbs (LS) ugh.
7/10 118.8 lbs (LS)
7/11 119.2 lbs (LS)
7/12 118.6 lbs (LS)
7/13 118.4 lbs (LS)
7/14 118.2 lbs (LS)
7/15 120.4 lbs (LS) ??

WOW, quite the featherweight woosh there!

Interesting that you mention the morning fluid levels "settling" - I have been noticing that my weight goes down by almost 2 pounds throughout the morning before I eat. Weight is such a funny thing. I can also push my scale around to different locations and get it to read 0.4 to 0.6 pounds difference.

Except for my (several) overindulgence bumps up, I have basically been maintaining since early June. Just an observation.

That's exactly what I've seen in terms of a "woosh"! I can eat pretty crappy one day and be up about 3 lbs, then eat clean the rest of the day and be down 3 lbs the next morning... Important to look for patterns and be aware of the trend, I suppose.

Way to maintain [and now I see losing - congrats!]! I love maintaining, especially around such a holiday-y time as July/summer.

As far as the scales/weight things you mention at the beginning: I call that fluctuation in the morning "ghost pounds." I can lose quite a bit just by weighing in, waiting a while, then weighing in again.

Problem is that, for me, it's not consistent, i. e., doesn't happen every time. So, if I'm trying to hit an official weight in a hurry, because I'm on my way out the door to an eating occasion and want to make weight first, I can't count on the ghost pound phenomenon to save me, more's the pity. So I have to exercise, just to be safe, on those occasions.

It always freaks me out how scales can vary so much, even in a short amount of time. Great when it goes in one's favor, not so much when it doesn't!

That is quite a loss, Alexis! And, yes, there's power in recognizing the pattern. You can make plans when you know the pattern. Otherwise it's kind of a crapshoot, pardon my French.

HW ~ That's it, exactly... Patterns are essential!
