Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Don't let something like that discourage you. It's normal for your weight to fluctuate several pounds a day for no reason at all. Here's the " Why the Scale Lies " article. http://www.skwigg.com/id12.html It's best to only weigh yourself once a week, the morning of free day, before you've had anything to eat or drink. That way you always have a full week of clean eating behind you. On a program like body for life, scale weight can be pretty deceptive. It's all about getting leaner and smaller. So, go by your measurements and percentage of body fat, not the scale. You can get a whole lot smaller without getting any lighter. Check out the comparison picture of 5 pounds of fat versus 5 pounds of muscle. http://www.skwigg.com/fat_and_muscle.jpg If you have any doubts about your food, post a typical day's menu and get some feedback. Also, check out Hussman's site. The whole thing is good, but in particular read the part about how " You Really Do Change From the Inside Out " http://www.hussman.org/fitness/#inside On Fri, 05 Nov 2004 17:16:40 -0000, Joan <bachnoone44@...> wrote: > > > Please help me.

This is > discouraging. has some great advice. Just wanted to chime in and say hang in there. Keep up the good work and have patience (ha easier said than done I know!). But I promise if you work the program, it really works well. My weight has fluctuated quite a bit this " challenge " but overall I'm down more than 2 " waist through hips so I'm not complaining.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 In addition to other responses, I have to tell you that I fluctuate 3 to 4 pounds day by day. sometimes up, sometimes down. However, the last time I weighed myself I was about a pound and a half heavier, yet I had lost many inches. Your weight is a very poor way to measure your progress. Take your measurements, or use a tight pair of pants to measure yourself. Keep eating clean, keep working out, and the rewards will soon follow! > > Please help me.
