I hope so, but I always weigh myself at the same time in the morning, after a pee and before I start my water. I think you are probably right though - water must be being retained sometimes. I have a bit of a chest cough (only very minor) and perhaps it is down to that.
Cheers

Hi, Just been reading this thread. I am a man on Cambridge.
Have done it a few times with limited success but feel this is the time to do it.
Started Monday at 21st 11lbs, my heaviest ever.
I am aiming for initial 5 stone loss between now and some time in May. I am judging this on previous losses of average 7lbs per week, with the first week about 12-14lbs.
4 years ago I got to 17stone and felt very good. I am 6ft 2 and hold off 17 stone rather well, although still classed as obese on the weight/height BMI thing. I am not fussed about that scale of measurement though, I believe if I feel good and can fit in to high street clothes (large is fine) and am happy with being 17 stone, then this shall be my target, and not BMI = 25. I guess each to their own.
Anyway, I will try to post as often as I can and keep you updated of my weigh-ins, which are liekly to be on Tuesdays.
Good luck everyone

Don't be nervous. it will be what it wil be, it's out of your control.
If its good news, then great! If it's not so good - you always have next week to catch up. You can't lose! Except weight - you can lose that!!!
Good luck! Let us know how you get on.

Week 8 weigh in and measurements
I forgot to add that I was measured too and have shrunk more.
The amazing thing was that Maggie, my LLC showed me how big I used to be by holding the measure around my waist and chest with the original sizes - that really suprised me - a few inches makes a huge difference (as I guess we all know when trying to put on jeans 1 inch too small!)
Anyway here are the numbers so far for anyone interested:
Week 8 weigh in :
Lost 5.28 lbs
Total lost 58.08 Lbs BMI down from 42.9 to 35.26
Measurements:
Original:
Chest 55.5"
Waist 55"
Collar 19"
Now (06.03/2008):
Chest 50.5" - 5" loss
Waist 48" - 7" loss
Collar 17.5" - 1.5" loss
