I gotta stay off the scale

Hi July babies .. just a little note .. maybe to complain, maybe to vent why is it that when im home from work for a few days the weight comes off and when I work :: I work 12 hr shifts in the hospital:: the next morning I weigh and 2 or 3 lbs come back on? I dont eat more at work Im on my feet ::im a nurse:: Maybe I just have to stay off the darn scale anyone else have this problem? Im working today .. not going to weigh again till wed .. cause Im off monday and tuesday. Hope everyone has a great week this week..and Im going to stop being a slave to the evil scale Dawn

Sorry your scale is being mean! I call this the 'dance with the scale'. I've found the same thing here: one day the weight is down and the next, it's up again. I know that our body weight fluxuates normally, so I assume this is what it is. I do weight every day, so I can stay on top of changes and know what my body is doing. But if I found my weight was down when I was home, and up when I was at work, believe me - I wait and weigh at home too!

Another daily weigher here! First off, I want to say that I have weighed myself in the morning and then again in the afternoon and sometimes there is a 2 lbs. difference; so don't be too alarmed ~ weight can fluctuate quite a bit. I have the opposite problem. I do much better when I'm at work during the week. I only bring a certain amount of food with me and I use the treadmill, so I'm usually doing what I'm supposed to during the weekdays. At home I sometimes find myself picking and snacking - habits I'm very aware of and trying to break - and so, the scale is sometimes stuck on weekends. I did well yesterday; kept myself busy and really tried to stick with high protein foods, and was rewarded by a 1 lb. loss this AM - very unusual for a weekend. Dawn, when you're working 12 hour days do you get all of your water in? I have found when I don't get in my water I don't lose as quickly. Hugs, Nancy -99

First off all Dawn...WOWZA!!! This is the first time I am seeing your updated picture and you look MAAAHVELOUS!!! The "dance with the scale" is so common here too. This week has been a hard one for me. Up and down 2 lbs all week. This morning it is on the "up 2 pounds end". We have all done amazing!!! Tara 305/170/192 -113

Hi Tara, Nosey me - just wondering where your new avatar picture is? I looked at your profile and your 'down 100 lbs.' pic is so great, you just have to update your posting pic!! Hugs, Nancy -99

Ugh, I, too, have scale issues. My big problem is that when I am eating well and working out, the scale doesn't budge. Then, on my day off from working out or on a day when I eat something I really, really shouldn't the next day the scale rewards me. It's sending me the message to not exercise and eat like crap. I know this is wrong, and for the most part I ignore this message. We joke around the hose that I need to eat a donut to drop 2 pounds, or lay around and watch the boob tube all day to show some scale movement. I need to take my own advice and hide my scale for about 2 weeks or so. Diana
