frustration is setting in... i was all excited about going to my weigh-in this past tuesday cuz i KNEW i had lost weight! i KNEW this cuz i could feel it n i was down to 1set of boobs (the back boobs, side boobs n front boob muffins have left the building!)i was/am sooo tickled by this revelation! i weighed myself on my moms ww scale n the scale at clinic n both said i weighed 215.4 which is a 2lb loss so again im all excited about going to class! i get there, take off my shoes n jump on the scale to make it "official" in my head n on paper n it says... 217.0! WTF?! that means no loss! but i can see n feel a loss! what gives?
First congrats on loss of inches! Sometimes the scale does not reflect losses- it could be any number of factors - water retention, clothes, time of day. I would celebrate by trying a smaller size shirt.
thanx it does feel great dont get me wrong numbers just seem to give me affirmation i guess n was so looking forward to what i thought would b a nice drop! oh well! on the up side i went thru ALL my clothes lasnite n took out everything ive "outgrown" n the things that my kids n hubby say r to baggy now (3 lrg trash bags) n will donate them to goodwill this weekend! i WAS aiming for "getting back into" but the family says nope cuz WHEN not IF i make goal i deserve all new! (sometimes my spoiled n mostly selfish family can truly surprise me!)
I've had to learn the hard way to trust the loss in inches over the scale. Mine is super frustrating- I hold on to water, etc for usually 2-3 weeks at a time, and finally flush it out. Maybe it's the same for you?
im not sure really. it does seem like alot of changes in my body for only a 10lb loss so far! so many aches n pains all thru my body have diminished, so much less bloated feeling, rolls n lumps r smoothing out, "bone"lines r starting to become noticable n my medical numbers have dropped dramatically for the better! seems odd to me, nice granted but odd none the less!
