One thing that scares me about getting a new scale, especially going from analog dial scale to a digital scale, is that I know the reading will probably be different. What if I lose five pounds, but then the new scale says I've regained all of it back? That can be demoralizing. Hopefully it won't be a huge difference.
I was worried about that. I weighed myself with the old scale and then immediately put the new scale in its place and weighed myself again to see the difference. I know it sounds stupid but doing it in a row like that helped. The new scale read 1 lb. lighter
176.4... omg, I was just thinking that same thing!! I pulled my jeans out of the dryer this morning and they are already super loose! Maybe that means we are going to get a whoosh on the scales soon!!
Yes, same here. I am maybe a hint closer to the 176 line than I was yesterday, but on an analog scale that doesn't mean much.
The good news is that I have been wearing size 16 wide jeans, which I can now pull down without unfastening. This morning I tried on a slightly smaller pair of jeans, size 16 misses. Before I couldn't get them up past my thighs. This morning I pulled them all the way up and fastened them. They felt comfortable. So there's definitely something going on, even if the scale doesn't show it.
I don't have a reliable weight this morning. I usually weigh between 8 and 9am, the past couple of days it's been between 7 and 8am... This morning I was up at 4:30am. Those few hours make a big difference, it seems. The scale showed my weight between 178 and 179. I know for a fact that I didn't do anything to cause weight gain, so I have to go with it being water weight that usually is released later in the day.
Speaking of water, do you find that if you drink more water that you lose weight faster?
