I started my 6mth mandatory diet about a week ago. The dr told me low carb high protein..n i know im not supp to weigh myself every day but its addicting. Anyway for 3 days in a row i was 226. today im 220. is that all water weight or is it working?? i dont want to get excited for nothing

It's both. You will lose a lot in the beginning because your body goes into a state of ketosis in a low carb diet. This is a good thing. But after a while the weight loss will continue but at a slower pace, as long as you are following the plan and exercising.

Don't weigh yourself every day! Daily fluctuations don't tell you how you are really progressing. The best way to weigh yourself is once a week at the exact same time of day, as home scales aren't always accurate. I weigh myself at the gym.

ok cool. Thank you. And i know i shouldnt weigh every day. Its addicting. I may have to throw my scale out all together lol

It can't be stressed enough, don't weigh yourself every day. Once a week is best. Try not to think about the scale or put it out of sight. Now when Wednesday night comes I get excited because I know I weigh on Thursday. You will get a better picture of your loss and you won't get as disappointed if one day you are up or like a yo-yo.

Keep it up! Remember it is a marathon not a sprint and you will get there!

You will drive yourself nuts weighing yourself everyday. Stop now before it becomes a habit.

lol i know. Its oike my cracj. I see it n im like, ok let me just look. I tell myself i wont care what it says but i always do. Its like the logical part of my brain takes a mini vacation. Ugh. Ok. Throwing the scale outttt!! thanks guys

Here's an idea. Only weigh yourself at the gym and throw out your house scale. Then you only get to weigh if you go to the gym or docs!! Built in reinforcement to go to the gym!!

I weigh a few times a week but not every day, it helps me keep my diet in check to know what is working for me and what is not,

I'm not sleeved yet but shud lose weight w all the hoops I'm jumpn thru but newhoo, when I was yo yo dieting, I use to weigh every day too. So I asked my hubby to hide the scales until that one day of the week I had to weigh, nd no matter how much I threaten him,lol, to not get them out until the following week! It helped tremendously. Lord willing nd I get sleeved finally, he'll have to do it again bc will power when it comes to the scales is my biggest enemy. So if u have som1 to hide them for u, then recruit them now. Gl:)
