Grhhh bloody scales

[Terri22]

I've been abit naughty and had a sneaky peek, how can I put on 4lbs in 2 days? I have come down with a stinking cold and didn't drink enough yesterday, could water retention count for that much?

Nevermind the number that counts is the one showing on Friday morning, and if I don't have x great loss then ill measure myself, am soo not going to let this get the better if me

I was reading about this yesterday and it seems that the less you drink the more likely your body is to hang on to any water that it has got.

Together with your cold I reckon that's why you've temporarily put on. It'll come off once you're feeling better I'm sure.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Hiya Terri hope your feeling better soon. I've had a cold since Thursday and today is the first day I'm starting to feel human again, haven't got on the scales but I'm sure your gain is only temporary and you'll show a loss on your weigh in day xx maxi xx

Would heating the water help to ease it down? xo

And that's why you shouldn't weigh every day ladies.

Aww hun, it will catch up tho and show a loss on weigh day...i bet! I used to daily weigh but have stopped for this reason! xx

And that's why you shouldn't weigh every day ladies.

Im also learning this lesson the hard way.

 

[kitcatx]

aw im sure its temporary just try and drink as much as possible

 

[Terri22]

Still feeling rough and yucky and still trying to get the water down, I know that I haven't done anything to gain so will just have to wait - no worries tho like I said I will measure myself instead!
