I'm a serial weigher.... I sneak a peak whenever I can. I only ever go by the WW scales that I weigh in on once a week at meetings but I love to hop on my ones at home every chance I get to see how i'm going.
The problem is this though. This week I have tracked every day so far except for yesterday (friday). I know that there were some days where I went over by 1 or 2 points but i've earnt bonus points from exercise (I don't usually eat them but they've allowed me to stay within points balance). I currently have12 bonus points left & I don't feel the need to use them so that's good.
I have exercised every day. 30 min minimum sometimes closer to 1.5 hrs. The activities have ranged between my exercise bike or Zumba dvd's & tonight will be walking.
I've attended 2 meetings this week & nearly considered going for a third this morning.
I've upped the veggie intake & the water intake. I've tried 3 different WW recipes this week (all yummy) & i've been careful with my portion sizes.
So you'd think that i'd be looking at a pleasing result next monday night. Not so according to my scales. By the looks i'm heading for a gain & at least a 500 gram one.
I just don't understand it but it's doing my head in! So scales, the affair is over. I am putting you away before you derail me.
I am going to continue plugging away & working my butt off. I am sore in alot of places that I wasn't a week ago but I refuse to give in because I am worth it. I am now wearing a pair of jeans that I haven't for 4.5 years - That is progress.
Scales being mean to me & telling me that i'm gaining weight when i've worked so hard all week is not.
Just like affairs of the heart play mind games & seem to consume you before you realise that you can't be healthy if you stay in that situation any longer, so to must my relationship with the scales.
Cheers Kel.
P.S. If anyone has other suggestions or ideas as to what I can try please let me know!!
Wow your post is so simlar to mine it's scary. Apart from the fact that you are pumping the exercise. I was told by a personal trainer once that you should never get on the scales when your muscles are sore because the weight on the scales aren't a true reflection. It seems that when your muscles are sore that they are retaining the water you took in as a kind of back up in case you don't keep hydrated. When they are no longer sore that's when the muscles have let go of it. So it's all water weight and your fat being transformed into muscle which weighs more. Hope that helps.
