Why do we do it to ourselves, Lexie?! I felt so I'll when I overate last weekend, genuinely hurting all over like I'd been beaten up, but I still did it!

We all do it, you'd think we'd learn after a time or two...

You'd think, wouldn't you?! I just faced the scales and it was a gain of 6lbs, terrific, lol. Ah well, onwards and downwards eh?

Oh I'm hauled back on & should have a 1400cal day as have all my food planned for the day & I'm at work & won't be able to eat anything I don't have with me... Forgotten my fitbit until about an hour ago & it's almost flat so I'll look as though I have zero burn. Oh well..... I'm actually almost a bit scared that I don't freak out anymore.... Erm....

You won't have zero burn, it just won't appear on mfp! I'm loving the lack of freaking.

Certainly feels it at the minute. Thing is even though I had a complete blow out food wise on Saturday I know it's ok as a 1400 cal yesterday balances it out & well I'm just happy!

They do say (in the every other day diet book anyway) that fasting means you lose more fat and less lean muscle than on other diets. Where did you get this done? Quite fancy seeing what mine is like...

Maybe your scales are out by loads So perhaps WI on another similar scale at boots etc? And see what it says ?

Fasting Rocks
I used a tesco one last year and it gave me 2 different height, weigh and body fat readings... with a 10% difference... from 2 readings..one before and one after shopping. I think it depends on when the machine was last calibrated as to the accuracy. I was told callipers were the only reliable way to measure body fat and to get it done at the gym...I'm a big scaredy cat of the gym though. My home scales supposedly measure body fat, water etc but they are totally inaccurate...one day 35% fat... next 63% fat!! I know there is some kind of U.S military calculator online where you can put in measurements of different parts of your body..neck, waist, hips etc and it supposedly gives you a fairly accurate result? Like Kitty said though fasting has been shown to burn more fat and little muscle compared to other diets so I'm sure you would have a significant drop and it could be spot on. Love the new relaxed approach Lexie that is coming through!! xx

Ooh, I'd keep using those scales! Joking apart, do you have any medical appointments coming up where you could ask to get weighed? Doctors are meant to have their scales regularly calibrated, so it should give you a better idea. xx

Don't really go to docs very often but may out of interest next time I'm there ask them to weigh me. I know I'm not as low as tescos say though. The gym old fashioned salter imperial ones have me about 3lbs lighter than mine which was the same more or less as my old ones which were same as Drs when I was on xen
