Fluctuation or what?...

  • I was 158 yesterday
    and I checked today again (I have problems!)
    and it was still 158
    am I 158 now?
    or is it some fluctuating nonsense?
    because it used to be 163
    I dunno but I hope it is 158! so I can keep going lower.
    I started jogging recently, have been doing it for the past 4 days
    and eating right and stuff but I dunno if the effects would be that fast...
    or my body weight is just rollercoastering or what.


    Hope you're all doing awesome
  • Personally, I would say if you're 158 2 days in a row that you're at 158.

    I know how sometimes we don't want to believe it because we don't want to get our hopes up... but I would say you aren't normally going to have a 4 lb fluctuation from day to day unless you had a lot of sodium, TOM is here, or you've been doing heavy weight training and are having some kind of water retention.

    Don't get discouraged. Just go with it.
  • Whenever I see a new low on the scale, that is the number I go with (and I weigh myself every day). Sometimes it takes a while to see a new low but as soon as I do, I record it and change the signature!
  • Change that ticker! I would say 2 days in a row is pretty safe. Running always brings about a woosh for me, too. Maybe it has something to do with water retention? Who knows. Number looks good to me, though!
