Oh yea i always weigh myself in the morning. I just think its crazy from day to day it change so much. Now since I have started this diet (which has only been a week) I have lost 5 pounds but I just really don't know how to look that, because of how much my weigh changes before I started this diet. I have kinda always just gone on how my clothes fit me. LOL not the best way but hey I know when I have really lost weight that way.

UGH, I gained weight from when I weighed myself earlier in the week. I was so upset and didn't want to continue anymore. Anyway, FI calmed me down and I weighed myself in the morning, which I was 3 lbs less for a total of 5.3 lbs lost in the first week. So don't freak out - especially being women and depending on what time of month it is, our weight fluctuates all the time! Just try and weigh yourself at the same time of day everytime and all will be good!

yup! you have to weigh yourself the same time/day every week, BUCK NAKED, first thing in the morning, BEFORE eating or drinking anything, but AFTER your first morning pee! otherwise you'll go insane!

Cougar - so true, that's exactly how I weigh myself. I usually drink 1 litre of water before bed so I pee when I wake up lol.

You are SOOO right about that. I think most of us who've done some kind of weight loss thing know all about the "right" way to weigh ourselves! lol

TOO FUNNY!!! lol



So on another note, I have a confession. Yesterday was a bad day for me emotionally and the FI was gone to do some volunteering. I was just looking for something to eat when I came across Tostitos - yummy!!! Anyway, I only ate 6 of the multi-grain kind but I felt horrible afterwards because it was my first time cheating! I confessed to the FI this morning and he told me that he had cheated and drank a diet Dr Pepper yesterday. LOL So I guess I wasn't the only one. But anyway, I don't want to be a "food" cheater!! lol

Don't worry Lisa, there is a secret club for "food cheaters" I am the founding member.

Lisa - no worries, it's not like you had a big mac or something, just hop back on and keep up with the diet. I have a coffee every morning, so I'm not much better either.

 

Steph - if you're the founding member then wtf does that make me? lol I am so bad for cheating on my diets...I'm lucky this one keeps me relatively sane.

[*JillD*]

I can't wait to start this when I get back from vacation!

 

Well it's perfect that this is the "cheat" diet, because I am so bad about cheating on my diets!!

 

at least we will have a day that we can cheat and not feel guilty!

[~*Lisa*~]

Jill - I am SO looking forward to that!! only 10 more days until cheat day now....WOO HOO!!!
