Thread: LOVELY LOSERS 2023 - "Jammin' & Joyful" in January

Like anything else, it depends on the quality of the scale, but I have found mine pretty accurate through the years. (Has matched up with doctors scales.) You are just not going to be able to obsess about tenths of a pound like you can with a digital scale.

Thank you, Mo! But. sadly, the saga continues. Today it again said the same thing.

I won't have time to get a new scale today, so will try one more thing. Give it one more chance at a happy and productive scale life. I put it in my bedroom where it is WARMER. I am hoping it just got cold under the window on the tile in my bathroom. It has been colder than it was yesterday, but it has been a continuous cold for the last few days so maybe that is it.

I ate everything to protocol and I swear, I feel slimmer. I cant' feel any bloat, ache or even a back pain that would indicate any irregularity on my part, but I will take some fiber later today---and see what that does. Maybe I am fooling myself.

If I hadn't just had normal losses a few at a time, I would convince myself the scale is right and I've only lost 4 pounds in the last 10 days. But that just does not make sense.

Have a good WOOSHY day everybuddy!

Good morning, everyone.
Mo, glad the whoosh fairy has been visiting you!
Pearly, good luck with your chilly scale.
I had a big drop this morning, which I fully expect to jump up for tomorrow's weigh-in. We had a monumental event in my neighborhood yesterday, which resulted in me celebrating with a few neighbors. So I had fruit for dinner. And by fruit, I mean a glass of shiraz. And by a glass, I mean 2 glasses.
Ugh.
Anyway, I think it's safe to assume I was more dehydrated than anything else this morning. I have set my expectations accordingly and will not panic if my body plays "bounce a pound" throughout this week.
ONWARD!

Good morning all.

This is a good day and I am not going to let a number on a scale get me down. It apparently is not the scale. I weighed at the gym and at my sisters and came straight home and weighed both times on my scale and they all said the same thing. I didn't weight nekked first thing in the am, but wore the same snow boots, stocking cap and sweats both places. They all agree. WHOT?

Ok. I just need to keep going. I have 3 more doses until I have to take a PI and as long as my clothes are fitting, what does a number matter. I think. That's my story and I am sticking to it. AGain. I am working on strength training, starting with easy aquatic aerobics, which I started yesterday. (Nope, AFTER "The Gain") and am trying to go 3 days a week. It is pretty gentle so far. Most of the attendees are in their 80's and I am not quite there yet. But I know it is still good for me. I started swim lessons two weeks ago (Nope on Thursdays, so 4 days before "The Gain") to improve my strokes and breathing. My goal is to be able to swim laps but I am a long way from that right now. Maybe with a kick board I could get half of one in.

Ok. So that is the plan. 3 more days of P2, 2 days of P2 eating transitioning, probably 10 day PI and back to P2 again. I am soooo determined. I have done some good rounds and had some awesome losses, so I know this will all come out in the wash. I have been 90% compliant 95% of the time on most rounds (Glad you enjoyed the wine and company, Kar!) but this round I have been 98% compliant 99% of the time. So I know I have had losses and this will WOOSH away eventually.

ONWARD.
