Gained 6lbs since Monday.....

Ok guys, you know how "touchy" the gain/lose situation is with me...So I go to Curves today, yes I admit I have not been for 5 days, but have been walking instead. I did, however go there on Monday to get my weight for the challenge, as I do not have a scale at home. So I step on the scale today and up, up, up, up, I am like WT*, I am thinking, I really have been eating a lot less, (not hungry because of the heat), walking, etc., but not getting in my water..but the whole time I am working out, I am getting more frustrated and scared (am I backed up or something)? I finally say to the owner of Curves, is it actually possible to gain 6 pounds in 2 days...she looks at the scale and says "It's off-balance" let me fix it". THANK YOU LORD..... and I now know how to make sure it is in balance before I step on that thing again....

P.S. I lost 1 1/2 pounds actually so all is well, (for now)...

You know Marsha, I think for your own Mental Health you need to take a break from the scale. Don't step on it for a month and then you will get a nice surprise. The day to day stuff is messing with your mind:crazy. Give yourself a break sweetie Regards and hugs, Ronna

Feeeeeeeeewwwwww! You really scared me!!!!!! Congratulations Marsha!!!!! Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

I'm glad you figured it out You had me going there, missy

Yep, I scared myself...Ronna, I really don't step on the scale that often...really I don't..I don't have one.. and Jaci, LOVE THE NEW PIC....

Well that's good. Folks really get hooked and it makes them It's hard enough as it is without that added pressure. Hugs to you, Ronna

thanks ann!

And on the sparce times that you do weigh, be sure to do it at the same time - preferably in the AM, after BM and before food/water. Just to give you an idea of the variances, weight 3 bottles of water. You'll see that it comes to about 5 lbs. So if you weight after drinking a lot of water, you'll be higher just be default. Use the same scale each time - or if you are tempted at curves, mentally 'dont count' what you see........ If I am feeling defeated I step away from the scale for two weeks and as Ronna said, when you come back its a nice feeling rather than regular angst. Hope you're feeling better about your wonderful accomplishments so far!!!
