I finally got my whoosh!!

  • I skipped from 216 down to 211 this morning.

    The bad news is I'm on day 3 of an intestinal virus.

    I know as soon as I'm back to normal those pounds will come right back, but I'm counting it for a minute!

    What would you do?
  • I would pray and hope those pounds u lost will stay gone.lol. Just continue eating right and maybe they will. Good Luck and I hope u start feeling better. Those intestinal viruses r nasty.
  • I'd count 1/2 of it...yeah I know I'm strange, but I hate going back up, so I'd be afraid to count the whole thing.

    I just surprised you lost weight while sick. I always gain, mainly because I eat constantly when I'm sick. You might think that is odd, but even after puking my guts out I'll be looking around for something to eat....
  • I would count it!
  • I am in the same boat right now, also on day three of a nasty virus. Mine is not intestinal though. I imagine about a pound would be water lost but I bet you did lose some fat as well. I have lost 2.5 pounds this past couple days just because I don't feel like eating much. It may be too early to officially "count" it as a loss but I bet you did lose some weight. Take care and get better soon
  • Thanks guys!

    I think most of this loss is from . . .ahem. . .waste that typically I carry around in my body but have gotten rid of. How embarrassing!

    So as soon as I'm able to eat real food again, and start digesting real food again, I'll start making . . . well, you know!

    Anyway, like I said, I'm counting it for a minute and won't be bummed when it goes back up, because well, STUFF happens!
  • I wouldn't count it until you're better. I had a nasty virus last week and the scale said I lost like 3 pounds. WRONG! lol. I was sad to see it go back up.
