Attack weighing myself daily....

[ljwari]

.... Im currently on day 5 of 7 and i have been weighing myself evety morning and this morning i have stayed the same is this normal?

I do have an exercise bike and was wondering shall i do 30mins a day on here to help me out a bit, as i can't do the walking at the moment because im house bound as my DD has a really bad chest infection so i cant take her with me and i dont fancy walking in the dark by the time my OH come home.

What do you think?

yes its normal as the first initial big loss is water weight.

Hope so, do you think i should hop on the bike? I doubt it will make me gain weight

I would - I quite like indoor cycling! No wind, can watch tv, only snag is you don't arrive anywhere different. Will save you worrying about getting a walk in and then if you do, it'll be a bonus on top.

The weight thing is only temporary, its what you lose over the week that really counts. As well as fluid, it can also be 'transit' issues after 6-7 days on PP.

Keep going, you're doing fine!

Aww thankyou might give it a whirl ive nothing to loose...... Well i have but you know what i mean

Maybe it's time to move to cruise. I had a lot more to lose than you and only needed to do 6 days attack. Once you've lost the initial water weight you're unlikely to benefit from the strictness of attack - get some veggies into you!

Also stop weighing yourself daily - what we see on the scales affects what we do or how we feel and obviously your weight loss will slow down and moving to a weekly weigh in will keep you motivated.. I also think such a long attack phase is unusual - I was the same weightish as Vixx and only did 6 days. Just a thought.

AWW thanks.

when i did the quiz on the Dukan site it told me to do the attack phase for 6 days ( i have been saying 7 days lol cant count hee hee) so will stick with that and also ready the book it tells you to get on the scales everyday it was good to start with so will see how that one goes but i think i might just weigh in each week once i have finished the attack phase

loving all the friendly advice and support on here thanks xx

I weighed myself daily during attack and then switched to weekly. I think it's quite a personal choice. Your weight will fluctuate during the week so if seeing a gain after a PV day is going to demoralise you and lead to a cheat then don't weigh daily, weigh once a week after a PP day.
