**Wednesday Weigh-In**

[horsemom]

I am down about 4 this week, and only one pound from my first goal. This makes 27 pounds lost since the first of the year. I really thought I had hit a snag, but had a busy week and was surprised to see the scale down. I think I will keep it up and go another 5 past my first goal.

On a roll and it feels great!!!

Hey all! Great job with the weight loss and meeting all your goals. I met most of mine...I biked 46 miles (goal 50), did drink more water (but not as much as I would like!) and lifted weights two times. I'm content with that...it is so much better than past weeks, and I have to make small changes if they are to "stick!"

For the current week:

1. Bike 50 miles
2. Lift 2x
3. Increase water consumption
4. Take a healthy lunch to work 4 days out of 5

I figure if I keep adding smallish goals on a weekly basis that before I know it, I will have revamped my life!

Way to go, everyone! Good luck and happy riding this week!

I logged in the wrong thread, I think.

Down 3 this week! Yay!

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.
