**Wednesday Weigh-In**

[MKEBuckeye]

Okay, ladies! Time to "weigh in!"

I am -2.5. I've had a cold for a few days, though, so I haven't been able to eat much. Either way, I'll take it

-1.5. but I'm sure it is temporary water weight

I took a long vacation and fell off the wagon big time, and then I was really busy with baseball. I thought I would be gaining, but I have not. One thing I did was move my full length mirror back into my room, so I look in it all the time instead of only when I think to go in the other room and look. (There's no good place to hang it in the really short-ceilinged rooms in my century-old house.) I had a cruddy diet in the last 7 days, eating a lot of potato chips, etc., but I did buy a new bike and I've been riding it. Sooo, guess what? All of that and TADA...

I'm down 2 lbs since I left on vacation! yippee!

Down 3, which is amazing because I've done no exercise since my crash on Sunday.

Down 3.5 this week, though I think some of it is from the week before, since I maintained last week, and I felt really bloated last Wednesday.

Oh, AND I totally blew away my 20 mile goal for the week. I got 42 miles in!!

Got rid of 2 pounds. Hooray!! Was pretty good on my diet, lots of vegies, protein and fruit and did not taste too many of my dessert experiments.

Rode my bike Thurs., Fri., Sun, & Tues. 80+ miles. Things are slowing down at work so I have more time now.

Looking forward to next week's weigh in.

Good luck everyone!!

same as last week. . . .


Good job everyone!

I have no idea where I posted, but I am certain I did.

Down 1.5 (really more than I wanted, as it should be at max, .5 a week) and about 6.5 to go. (For those new, I have been losing weight for 2 years now, so it has not been a rapid weight loss )

Great job everyone!!!!

Last week I lost 3, this week ZERO so far! But my usual weigh in is Friday. Maybe a miracle will occur in the next 48 hours.
My body really is a fickle creature!

hi ladies, I don't usually join in these threads, because i am only weighing myself monthly and have no specific goal as in "x kgs per week/month"

However, I would appreciate your advice/opinion.

I have been weighing myself at the start of each month - about 5 days before my period.
My period has arrived early this month, so have not stepped on the scales. i know we are supposed to retain fluid to some extent at this time of the month.

So my question is... when is the "best" time of the month to weigh ones-self?
half way through a cycle? Just before your period? Just after?

Your input greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation

I like to weigh myself daily and record it. I have a software that calculates my moving average, it's how banks calculate average balance or something, it's not a straight average but weighted. A low or high number today doesn't actually affect the moving average very much, but low or high numbers for several days will. I feel it gives a more accurate picture, and I like how a high number one day still shows up as an overall weight loss.
