Scale. Is This Possible?

[Lori Voss Green 93]

So my scale has been bouncing the same 2-3 pounds around for the last 2 weeks. I just had my 1st fill on yesterday, so I am not shocked over this. So yesterday morning my scale said 279.8. At my dr's appointment, their scale said 279.6....so pretty much reading the same as mine. My last appointment their scale and mine read the same, which I like because I know mine is accurate. So anyway, this morning I step on the scale and it says 275.9. Now, is this possible? I mean, a 3.9 lb loss from yesterday morning to this morning? I stepped off the scale, waited a bit, and tried again. Same reading. I am not going to be shocked if it's back up tomorrow...but is a loss like this possible?

Yes. This happens all the time to me. I will go two weeks without any loss and then lose 2-3 pounds in a matter of a couple of days.

Could also depend on if you had eaten yet, when you stopped eating yesterday, and the time of day you weighed in Sounds great though!

[Lori Voss Green 93]

I weigh the same time every day, right after I get up for work. Whatever the cause, I'll just cross my fingers that those 3.9 lbs stay gone! LOL

first quit weighing so often

as you saw for first hand, how fickle scales are

better to judge your great success by how loose your clothes are and

how much better you are feeling

Water weight/pee and poop and sodium etc......who knows why its higher or lower

best to weigh once a week or every other week.

all the best, sounds like you doing great

Same thing with me!

I'll go 10+ days and the scale won't move (sometimes even go up) but then one morning i'll be down 2 lbs. Like magic

Its so weird, but enjoy the feeling!

I don't let the scale moving up and down frustrate me. I was actually discussing it with my dr yesterday....how I use it to motivate me but not discourage me.

I weigh myself twice a day...every day. I know it's obsessive and sometimes depressing not to see the scale move for a few days but since I spent the better part of my life ignoring the scale... I figure it cannot hurt. But I do keep in mind the scale is fickle and any number of things will effect the reading. So I bless the days I have a loss and understand that when I don't it's not a bad thing if I am doing what I am supposed to be doing.

[Lori Voss Green 93]

I weigh every morning. I sometimes step on later in the day, but I don't give that one much thought since I will have eaten, etc.

Yes it's possible. I'd recommend weighing once or twice a week.the scale seems to change with every breath u take. It gets frustrating.
