The scale is crazy and not to be trusted. True story: yesterday morning I weighed as I do every morning. Wake up, pee and get on the scale buck nekkid. We have always slept nekkid so that is the best time for me. 218. So I go about my business yesterday (groceries, finishing tree and decorations, walk, out to hear our friends band) and today 215 and down to 214 after a major💩 I did dance A LOT last night ( Y.M.C.A. anyone) and some cardio 😍 when we got home but not enough to lose 4 #. Tomorrow I predict 215.8 but we shall see.

Never trust a scale

Alright

Home scale 153.2 (in the tan)

Doctor scale 154.2 fully clothed

Hmmm, Curiouser and curiouser...

So, per the doctor's scale, have you lost all that weight recently?

Yes, and I haven't been particularly good or bad. I'm confused. I'm so far out weightloss slows to a crawl they say, I started IF for other reasons and wasn't seeing alot of loss anyway. But I'll just cautiously watch.

Ha on Dance Party and Cardio!!!! Woooottt!!! And never discount the power of a very satisfying poo! I love to see that 1lb variance pre/post poopy. Sometimes I laugh to myself out loud about it. What do you weight today?

I think this is a good thing to do. I think you're just in the final stages of WL mode. Where you're body is still trying to figure out where it wants to be? And I DO think the IF is helping all of us! Even if we don't have regular scale movement. And I always see between 1.5-2lbs diff between home nekkidy weight and morning dr. appointment scale weight. I wear the thinnest, lightest clothes possible (usually a thin-ass spaghetti strap shirt with super thin/cheap Old Navy leggings, then get Shoeless Joe on it, and weigh. Oh and I won't drink or eat anything from when I wake up to when I weigh in at the doc's. *snick* And I get your same kind of result variance.

My fasting insulin went from 18 last year to 12 at mid-year and now that I'm IF, it was 2!!!! Which is "low norm" but perfect for what we're doing! So I'm in remission from the hyperinsulinemia! Woot!

I'm betting you are too?! And I think you're body gets comfortable that you're not starving it, and it drops a bit of weight a little at a time! ((hugs)) And I'd keep your scale but try not to move it and if you do, just slide it a few inches, don't pick it up!

Fasted 22/2 yesterday. Was so busy and out all day. Did NOT get all my fluids in for the day and was super late finishing up Vitamins. Gah!

Got my hair cut/styled/and demi-colored. (Shhhhh, it was at the local beauty academy. She did a great job all for $30! *laughing at the bargain*)

Today I'm gonna try to do a 16/8 but I'm starving! So dunno if I will make it or how long I will last. Trying to pound Water and coffee now.

I am convinced that Green Tea is helping me lose. On the days when I drink a pot of it, I will usually lose, even though I may eat more/higher cals. On the days I don't...nada. So my rule of today is a pot of Decaf, a pot of green tea + water out the ying-yangly!

Tonight is German Christmas Market (start) in our little town and I hope the rain holds off long enough to go. It looks so festive! Will try to take some pics!

Oh, and I'm almost back to my pre-Fatsgiving ticker weight! Wooohoooo! 149.6lbs today and yesterday!

You know I'm just going to ride the wave and not worry about it, but weighing will be cut down to once in a while. Maybe monthly to check maintenance. My clothes will tell the truth lol

Really good! And I'm gonna go to Sally or Ulta today to look for Toppik colored hair Fiber. It's only a dem-color, so not total grey coverage, but it's a good start to give me an idea of it. In a month, I hope to go back with my game-plan: a hair topper, or only using Toppik. Then we will do permanent color with low lights and high lights.

I will try to take a pic this weekend. Wore it down for date night last night. First time in MONTHS! Mr. F. said he loved it and that it didn't look thin. I used some of their hair fibers but the color wasn't perfectly good.

I would highly recommend beauty academies!!! Wooohooo!

Maybe by next month the hairloss will slow down

This morning was 214.6 so not as bad as expected, it truly never makes sense.
