1. that happens, if you had a lot of salt the day before or |
|
drank a lot of water or you know, haven't done your business...of you are going to weigh yourself everyday, pick a specific time to do it, have the same amount of clothing...and what i've found is that how i ate in the days before doesn't really show up on the scale for a few days for some reason.
in other words, if i eat properly, my weight doesn't budge for a few days, then it starts coming down even if i eat improperly for a few days.
i think the point of weighing yourself everyday is to realize what your weight is so that you know when you need to exercise food discipline.
good luck :)

3. meh, weight can fluctuate |
|
water, salt, fluids, all change from day to day
either your scale is inaccurate or you had something with a lot of salt or sodium content prolly.

thanks I just needed some reassurance that cheating a little and having a few beers wasn't horrible of me.....I won't weight myself again until Tuesday morning (my once a week time) and I'll let you know how I did for the week. :hi:

Time of the month can indeed influence weight. When I was dieting I would often notice at one time of the month I would put on an extra lb or 2. Retaining water, I suppose. In fact, I found tracking my weight gave me a better sense of when my menstrual cycle would start..it was THAT consistant
