I finally broke through my previous low by .2 pounds, so 153.6 now. That was way harder than it should have been! And I feel like I need to stay here or lower for a couple of days before I believe it. OTOH, I have worked out really hard the last two days and I'm SORE, which always results in a little gain for me. So I'm hoping that that exercise-related water weight is masking a true loss of a little more. I swear I'm having a little PTSD over the 150's and I need to get out of them!
hello guys....right now Im fluctuating between 151 and 150 so Im going to claim 150 and see what my weight is tomorrow. Lat week was my TOM and I had to go to a conference with food all around me so Im happy with where I am now.
Is it the salt, sum? I have always tried to wrap my mind around why someone would avoid salt. lol I mean, if it caused me to lose 2 or 3 pounds of fat, but I had to avoid it for the rest of my life just for that 2 or 3 pounds of fat, and I would never lose any more, but I would have to watch it every day of my life, or feel bad if I didn't... Hmmm... I just opt to keep those 2 or 3 pounds. Plus they aren't even fat, it's just water. If there's ever a day that I have to look great in an insanely tight dress, I will give it up for that day, I guess. Otherwise, I'd rather keep the water and work on the fat. I NEVER have "bloated" days from salt. OTOH, I do get super bloated from wheat, but that's a whole 'nother story and I do think it's worth giving up, though it causes me much misery.
Ya, it is the salt. I have reacted to salt ever since I was a young adult. I don't know if it has something to do with thyroid, because mine is underactive. Luckily, it is just temporary weight gain and in a few days I'll be back to normal. Like you said, it is not "real" gain just water. -- I have been drinking tea all day long and flushing the stuff out
I have Celiac as well, so I know all about wheat bloat too, ugh!
I decided to weigh myself this morning and was frankly in disbelief to see...152.8?! That would be a full 5 lb drop from 10 days ago. I weighed myself several more times, moving it around on the floor and stepping on it a different way and whatnot, and it still only fluctuated between 152.8 and 153.6, so I'm taking 153.6 as my official weigh-in number. I was pretty certain I'd been maintaining but I guess pre-period bloat, salt bloat (I had been eating a LOT of salty stuff lately, but not much yesterday), and other factors (like lack of sleep - I slept in for a long time this morning) must have been hiding a loss.
