thanks!

hey don't stress, before starting LL I often find when using the wii fit that my weight fluctuates up to 4lbs during a whole day even though I had not eaten differently. It all depends on the time of day, how much water you body is hanging on too at the mo, ect.

I am sure you will be surprised with a different result at your weigh in!!
Chuck out your scales or get someone to hide them!!!!

good luck tonight

 

[Huseyin]

agreed weight fluctuates and salts are another thing it holds on to.

 

[gary girl forever]

yeah thanks, i should no better really, its just this week has been really really hard and if i find out it was all for nothing i will be devastated. fingers crossed eh!!!!!!!

 

[Huseyin]

impossible, really it is lol your body will drop the weight you are in ketosis

 

[gary girl forever]

Welcome Misswee, keep posting - looking forward to hearing how you're doing

Emma, please don't worry. Weighing in the day is such a bad thing. Keep to your LLC's scales or if at home once a week, first thing in the morning, that's the only way you know it's consistent and stop driving yourself mad.

Had a bit of a scale hop week this week and I was gutted to have stayed the same from Thursday until Monday. Today I just didn't bother. I know I'm following the programme 100% so it has to be working I'm not gonna wish you luck for tonight because your result tonight will be the result of hard work and determination

 

[Huseyin]

aww Westie same thing happened to me last week i weighed myself on sunday then again on a friday

No shift. But i found that all scales are different so you weigh differently on LL scales then you do at home. Dont go by it infact use Boots they have a good scale that is only 1lbs off at the worst of times and accurate normally

My scales are usually pretty good and I weighed before I went to LL meeting and they were only 0.1kg different to LLC's. I've always weighed once a week at home - a proper weigh with measurement etc etc - always first thing in the morning before having a pack/drinking anything.

I just got a bit obsessed this week, being the first week and all

 

[susianna]

What are we obsessive weighers like :sigh: , this is so apt because I jumped on the scales today and it showed I had gained 1/2 lb from yesterday so I jumped off them in disgust and vowed not to go near them till Monday (my WI night) however I know what i'm like and i'll be itching to get back on them tomorrow!

[EmVeg]

Not too geared up for WI tonight.

Not too geared up for anything right now.

 

[PurpleButterfly]

Oh my GOD! First day today. Please say it gets easier than this. I'm famished and I would kill for anything with cheese. And I have a cracking headache (have been ok all day though). Come on ketosis. Kick in soon please! I seriously admire you people having gone through this already and come out the other side.
I suppose I should congratulate myself, I managed to sit between 2 people munching on those mini chocolates between them today and not even have one.
And on the other bright side, I was worried I'd think all the packs were :yuk: but I've had 2 shakes and liked them both, even the soup was drinkable with lots of tabasco.
I keep going back and looking at the beautiful size 10 dress I've bought as an incentive. One day.

Sorry I'm not really making a point here am I? I just needed to get it off my chest!

Have formally fallen out with the Dr's - on hold for 20 mins, couldn't find out who has my form () - spoke to 3 different assistants! Very frustrated!!!! Have decided that I need to do something whilst I am still determined to do it (all the stress of sorting is getting to me!!) plus the waiting, so have ordered some W8 packs for the interim until I know I have a class (not telling them that though!) Has anyone tried these?

Also, have bought a "horse riding machine" as chiropractor has recommended due to my back problems (partly brought on by my weight problems.....) Does anyone have one, they look like fun anyway!!

 

[EmVeg]

Can someone help me with something.

What is 86.8 kg, 83.6kg and 82kg in stones?

According to LLC I've lost 9lb (happy with that) but have gone from 13-9 to 12-13 which is 10... confused.

 

[EmVeg]

Okay. Confused..but I know I've lost at least 9lb, so happy.

According to LLC
Wed - 86.8kg = 13 stone 9 lb
Sat - 83.8kg = 13 stone 2 lbs (=6lb loss.... doesn't work!)
Wed - 82kg = 12 stone 13.

So according to conversions I've lost 9 lb but gone down by 10.

Plus, my conversions from KG are WAY out because the one I use has me starting at 13stone 7lb and today at 12stone 9.

Someone who knows what they are talking about help me...it's far too confusing for me and I want to focus on being happy about it!

 

[JessicaL]
