Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Stopped in today for another weigh-in and I'm glad I did!
Hi all -- I was so upset Monday with my weight of 160.25 at the nutritionist that I thought I would try weighing again later this week when I felt more "unsalted" :-) -- so I stopped in this morning after my workout. I was glad that the doctor weighed me instead of his receptionist who was off today, because I got to see his reaction. Instead of weighing Monday's 160.25, I was 154.75. He was blown away, and we both cheered. In my excitement, I pushed his chest (like Elaine from Seinfeld) and said "I *told* you it was water! Monday you were asking me what my triggers were and where I was getting into trouble and I was saying I really haven't -- now you see I was telling the truth! I have been doing well!" He was very excited and needless to say, so was I! Since I only change my signature after an official visit, I'm going to keep the 160 there (because otherwise I drive myself nuts over the numbers) -- but next month I am sincerely hoping that the middle number will not be 160! Just wanted to update you all who have shown so much support. Mary 325-160-148 What a great resolution! i Thanks! It sure feels good knowing that the situation was very temporary.

I never cease to be amazed at the amount of water I can retain -- what felt really great was proving that I was actually making the necessary efforts all along (despite small slips on the food plan during one of four weeks). It felt awful thinking that my doctor (whom I revere!) thought I was just making excuses or avoiding the truth about what I was eating. Well that skeptical look was sure replaced today by amazement and joy. :-) Mary >> Cool beans Mary!

For example, weight goes up, bodyfat % goes down, that means water gain. Or, weight goes up, bodyfat goes up, that means fat gain? Would be an interesting experiment. Myself, I do not retain water because I do not eat salty food, otherwise, I would be interested to track that. i >>>Cool beans Mary!

When I had a really big water weight gain last fall I was sure that no one would believe that I hadn't really strayed all that far from my plan - of course 20 lbs in 48 hrs would be quite a stray :) I finally found some relief for my water retention problems because I found a doctor who decided that it was something worth treating... Jenn even in my worst days I doubt I could handle 70000 extra calories in 2 days > I can totally understand that!!

I will never complain about 6 lbs of water weight again! You poor thing - -I am glad you got help. > even in my worst days I doubt I could handle 70000 extra calories in 2 days This cracked me up! Mary >even in my worst days I doubt I could handle 70000 extra calories in 2 days Jenn, please tell me you've put an extra zero in there by mistake:) janice >>even in my worst days I doubt I could handle 70000 extra calories in 2 days >> >Jenn, please tell me you've put an extra zero in there by mistake:) >janice Following up myself .. sorry I get it now, forget I posted this! janice "Mary M/Ohio" wrote: > I never cease to be amazed at the amount of > water I can retain -- what felt really great was proving that I was [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > avoiding the truth about what I was eating.

Mary > Hi all -- > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > 325-160-148 This is great! I can relate to the water gains. My first indication is swollen hands. I refuse to step on the scale when I know I'm retaining water as I don't want to see those few extra pounds even if they are nothing but water. Beverly > This is great!

You know you're right, because that day the ring I was wearing was really cutting into my hand as I was taking it on and off. The water pounds are still fluctuating a little -- a few days ago I was 150.5 on my scale, back to 153.5 today -- it is interesting to watch the daily changes as long as I don't get thrown off track by them.
