HAPPY SUNDAY ALL!!! So this morning my weight bounced back up to 229. I don't consider it a gain since I have been bouncing for a week now. I am trying not to be frustrated and to focus on how I feel. But.........uuugggg I am trying to walk everyday despite what the scale tells me. I seem to go up to 229 the day after I walk which is making me feel I would do better to not walk but the walking makes me feel great so I am not giving it up. I will be adding resistance bands this week with my balance ball to work on my balance and coordination. I also want to add some more cardio but I have to remind myself I had a stroke 4 months ago and my body is still healing and I have to remember to make sure my body is ready for more. Yesterday I wasn't too hungry so my protein was low, actually everything was low. The best thing was I had pre-planned an Atkins bar as a treat but when it came time to eat it, I didn't want it. Who would have thought I would pass on chocolate? So that was a win for me to sse my tastes have changed. I did however have a shake for breakfast but that was because I couldn't bring myself to eat, just felt ucky and figured atleast I would have something in my system. So, I am going to start today having smaller meals more often during the day to shake up my metabolism and see if I can get the right amount of food in without feeling stuffed. I am thinking I should take my measurements again but it has only been a month since I started and it seems like it's too soon. Anyway, I need to quiet my mind and focus on how my body is feeling. I really need to stop focusing on the weight but I can't since I HAVE to lose the weight medically to get my hemoglobin and triglycerides lowered to get back to a healthy place. But this is my own fault since I did it to myself....... Hopefully you all have a super Sunday, enjoy!!

Hey, Dana...I hate those fluctuations...they can be so discouraging. it may well be tied to the walking as our bodies use fluid to help heal the muscles when they haven't been used for a while and then suddenly we start using them. Just keep with it and it will pass. As for the measurements, most of us do them once a month! You may be very pleasantly surprised when you do...often times the inches drop off dramatically especially when the pounds seem to be stuck. Have a wonderful Sunday!

There will be fluctuations, your muscles go through so much when we work out. I was curious about this phenomenon, so I weighed myself after a night of rowing, I was up almost 5 lbs and then by my normal weighing I was down those 4 and another 2. I get so very tempted to weigh myself more...but I am really trying to stay on the once a week Sunday morning. We all made choices that lead up to be here...but we are making the changes that we need to make. Your body has been used to a certain way for so long, and now you are changing it. You are making progress, not whether its 2 lbs or .2 lbs it is still down. I totally agree with listening to your body. It will thank you in end.

YES i totally agree!! hate those fluctuations, because its getting to me as well, even though i know how it works (not sure why LOL) but i know that its just like these and that i have to focus on weekly weight ins and measurements... I think I will start doing that.. Only weight in once a week and just take it from there LOL, or I'll go crazy! So, congrats to all of us who made the decision, and sticking to it!!!

I do weigh everyday and that has helped me learn not to take too much heart in the number. My day/mood used to revolve around that number but now I can see the ups and downs of my weight so the swing doesn't bother me too much. I just wish I would stop hovering and start moving again. I will take my measurements and see how that goes. But I am just happy to be moving and eating well, that is most of the battle for me and I am winning!! Not craving sweets anymore, yay!!

Happy Sunday back at you! ctliss and Jennifer2010 had some good info to offer, I learned a few things. Since just recently bought a scale, I look at it constantly and can't believe how it fluctuates in the course of a day. I step on it every time I pass it in my kitchen, but I try to normalize the data with a bonafide recorded reading (same clothes, same time of day) about once a week. If I only would have paid this much attention when the weight being added...tsk, tsk.

Hey Dana - unfortunately patience is the name of the game here - but it is good you are trusting and listening to your body, that is a definite for long term weight loss - keep going :)

They say that muscle weighs more than fat, so it makes sense that as you become more active your weight loss may slow even though you're burning fat. I often seen my weight loss slow as I spend more time at the gym.
I try to stay off the scale more than once a week. I've always found daily fluctuations very difficult to deal with. This time around I'm trying to put my focus on eating right and staying active and not be so concerned about what the scale is telling me. If I get the first two right, the weight loss is bound to follow, even if it takes a while.
