I would like to be positive & I have had some good results, but I really just want to scream!! THE SCALE IS EVIL!!! Grrrr….. Anyway, I weigh every day… I’m obsessive. I know it’s probably not good behavior, but I do it anyway, ha! And every day since I have been doing the 30 day shred, the scale has gone down by half a pound every day or every other day… It has NEVER fluctuated in an upward direction…UNTIL TODAY! (can you hear me screaming?) As of yesterday, I had lost a total of 6.5 pounds but TODAY the scale was UP! So my total recorded weight loss was only 4 pounds… I know! I can hear you now saying, “Four pounds in 10 days is nothing to sneeze at.” And you’re right, except that I have been watching the scale fall steadily for the past 9 days, and on the 10th day–the day that counts–the scale decides to act STUPID! Grrrr…. I am trying not to be too upset b/c DHs weight was up today too. I’m trying to rethink what I ate/did yesterday–nothing that should have caused an increase. Green smoothie for b’fast, red beans w/ turkey sausage & NO rice for lunch, homemade (lean venison) chili over a baked potato w/ only a small amount of cheese for dinner. Dinner was done by 6pm & I didn’t eat anything after dinner, so I am confused. I have eaten worse during the past 10 days & at the worst, the scale would hold steady… Oh well, maybe on day 20 I’ll have a PHENOMENAL loss to share! So here are my stats…
Weight: -4 pounds
Arms: same
Chest: -.5 inch (I’m nursing, so it could fluctuate)
Waist: +1 inch (weird)
Hips: -.5 inch
Thigh: -1.5 inches!!! YAY!
I had planned to make today a splurge day but now that I’ve had this weird experience with the scale, I’m not sure I should… We’ll see…
Now on to do the last day of Level 1, catch up on my Read the Bible in 90 Days goal & tend to my sick 3-year old with whom I stayed home from church.
You said your still nursing. Were you full before you weighed yourself, or had you not went to the bathroom lately? But you are losing in inches. Keep it up.
Yes, I made sure EVERYthing was empty, LOL!
You did great! My suggestion is to not weigh yourself daily. Then you won't have the disappointment. Besides, you're gaining muscle now, and muscle weighs more than fat.
Amazing! What a great job you're doing!!! Keep up the good work.
Great job! I lost inches but not weight so far. Then I did notice that I have gained back half an inch on my waist? I think it is weird too. Maybe we are gaining muscle.
You are doing great! I have gained 3 lbs. I am blaming it as muscle weight. lol
I too have lost inches but BARELY any weight! Keep it up! I am going to post Pictures tomorrow! I cannot see a difference but at church yesterday a lady told me I looked slimmer – so I will take that and keep moving! Good luck!
