UGH I need to be smacked!!

I cannot stop getting on the scale I get on every morning!! and I fluctuate SO much I don't know what I actually weight!! I have been doing pretty good with my diet this week better than I have been and I started those dexatrim max pills and really they help i don't shake and my heart doesn't race AND it makes me drink more water so YAY for that but last night i was bad we had company (LOTS of company our neighbors probably think were nuts cause the didn't leave until 12:30 ) but we got mexican for our dinner jeremiah got 15 enchilada's and 15 little tacos and of course their YUMMY chips, cheese and salsa ANYWAY I ate two little tacos and chips and salsa it was SOO yummy but this morning when I got on the scale it said 189.5 instead of the 187.5 it has been reading I am SOO ready to join the gym I can't stand this!!

they say a womans weight can fluxuate 5lbs in one month. I am bad also I have managed to cut back but the temptation is still there

If you are going to weigh yourself then you need to weigh once a week . I'm going to stop weighing myself right now. I will weigh next month (since I am working out so much it won't regulate right away and only discourage me).

good Idea since I am finnaly finding some time to work out I will try not to weight in for a couple weeks

Thats kinda what I did.

My old scale was broken.. which was one reason I didn't know I was that BIG!

But I started my diet and exercise.. and didn't buy a new scale for 2wks.. but when I did. I had dropped 12 lbs.. and that felt great.

One tip.. early in the morning after your first pee is when I weigh.. and I feel it is most accurate for me.

thats when I do it also

maybe you are just retaining more water weight or somethingg i dont think two little tacos would make you gain that much. I have started my diet back and started to drink coca-cola one drinks today they are o.k. but i seem thirsty... and i walked on my break today so i am slowley getting on the right track again... I fluctuate 3 and 4 lbs. all the time too, so dont get down youll get the weight off..... by the way we weigh about the same and my goal weight is 160. i also have a friend who has started weight watchers and she has lost 20 lbs. in 6 weeks. i am really thinking about joining myself but it cost 115.00 to join and get all of your books and stuff but she looks great i would love to do this....

try to stay positive as hard as it is i know you can do this

LOL that is when I weigh myself too like a little pee is going to make you weigh more!! Anyway yeah SO I ate at mcdonalds today but I'm GOING to do better!!!! Starting UH now anyway ya'll are SO great!!

Hey Jess...this will help! After you read this, browse around in this section. It REALLY helped me when I was feeling down about this exact thing the other night.

Daily Weight Fluctuations

HTH!

Thanks!!!

You could always just do what i did. Throw out the scale and just take body measurements. Muscle will always weigh more than fat. I've always been a bulky muscular person, so the scales have always said that I weighed 20 lbs over what I "should" weigh. So, I threw out the scale, and just started working out to feel good. I would take my measurements with a seamstress tape to track my progress, and I ended up loosing 15 inches off of my body. When i finally did weigh my self at a friends home, I'd lost 20 lbs. It was really awesome and I didn't go through any anxiety.
