I weighed myself at 9.20am the first day of my diet after my morning wee and before eating or drinking anything, the 2nd day of my diet i did the same and i had lost half a pound lol i know not worth getting excited about but after sticking to my diet iv just weighed myself and apparently iv gain 1pound would this be cause im weighing myself at a differnt time of day and only a few hours after eating??

You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight (food reduction, exercise or both!) so it's probably just fluctuation from water/food intake - think that's why you're only meant to hae one weigh in per week

put the scales in a cupboard and forget about them!

track everything you eat and drink and get weighed once a week and don't let the scales rule your life

have faith in the plan, it really does work x

I agree with Smirnoff, get rid of them or at least put them away and weigh your self once a week. Ive just gave the battery of mine to oh to keep til morning of my next weigh in, they can be so addictive!

 

[HereToLose]

[smirnoff]

I weigh myself every day too - but always first thing in the morning. It's great if the scales go down, but not so good if they stay the same ( or heaven forbid, go up). I may have to get my OH to hide the battery. He can put it with the mini chocolate brownies and the other stuff I like too much to have in the kitchen without eating the lot.

Its a once a week weigh in for me at home as well. Always put the scales in the same place when I do it as well (I have a tiled kitchen floor so I put it on the same square every time)! I always weigh myself first thing after my morning loo visit (well every little helps as they say) and in the buff!! The cats just sit staring at me!!

I have a tiled bathroom. The scales go in the same spit each time. Toes line up with the display. don't want to leave anything to chance!
