March/April Weight Management Challenge

[jobob]

Here is my April chart, it illustates how our weight can flip all over the place on a day to day basis. I weigh exactly the same time of the day under the same conditions (after peeing, undressed). The red line is the moving average.

Yes!! Thank you for posting this, goldfinch.

We're living breathing moving organisms, we eat and drink, we sweat and eliminate body wastes -- and let's not forget the effect of hormones (triggered by fertility, exercise, stress, etc), illness, medications, you name it, on all these processes.

With all that going on, it's simply not reasonable to expect that we'll stay the same weight day in and day out, or lose that weight in a perfectly linear downward progression. We can control plenty of variables at our weigh-ins (as goldfinch mentioned), but the reality is, our weight is going to bounce around some day-to-day, despite our efforts. It's the long term trend that matters.
