Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I believe that the only thing you're doing wrong is weighing and measuring yourself the day after free day. Do it ONCE a week, the morning of free day, before you've had anything to eat or drink. That way you'll always have a full week of clean eating behind you and the measurements will actually be relevant. Comparing your post-free day measurements to your pre-free day measurements from a week ago last Tuesday doesn't really tell you anything important, it just jacks with your psyche.

During the first 3 weeks, I lost one pound and my measurements stayed the same. However, during week 4 I lost 3 lbs. and there was a difference in my measurements, especially my waist which had gone down by 1 3/4 in. I was so excited and happy that things were starting to change! But then, after my free day that week all 3 lbs. were back. It took until the next free day for those 3 lbs. to be gone again, also at that time my waist went down another 3/4 inch, but the rest of my measurments were the same. That was the morning of my last free day (last Friday) and now those 3 lbs. are back again! My measurements are the same though, so I am trying not to stress over this. I guess I just need some reassurance that this is normal and I am not doing anything wrong....or am I? > > Tiana > > > --------------------------------- > > Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I do my main weighing and measuring the morning of my free day before I eat or drink. Those are the numbers I record. But you are right, I probably shouldn't do it any other time! But it always seems I can't help but jump on the scale a few days later just to see. I guess curiosity gets the better of me. Then I wind up measuring just to be sure that the inches didn't go up too! Which, so far, they haven't so I am probably just being overly paranoid. I will try not to worry so much about it. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I was wondering the same thing because I weighed consistently 178 the first 4 weeks of body for life. Then the end of week 5, I stepped on the scale and I was 173!!! I was so excited. Now two days after free day I'm back to 177. I would try not to stress about it. Our bodies flucuate a lot and your body is busy making long term changes. It will be a permanent change soon. > > Hello, > > I was wondering if this is normal, or if I should be worried?
