So, I've been on a weighing binge lately, only because every morning since Friday I've been down more. Friday I weighed in and had lost 3 lbs, but I started my period that day so I thought I would stall or gain... Saturday I was down a lb, Sunday a half lb, Monday a lb, Tuesday a half pound and today was down 1.6 lbs... meaning I've lost 4.6 lbs since Friday, which I would be super stoked about, but I'm waiting for my weigh in tomorrow because I am so scared it's a fluke! Anyone else do this? I have new scales, same brand as the clinic, I've eaten well and worked my butt off, why am I having a hard time believing this? I've always had to struggle so hard for one measily pound that I think my brain is calling BS... this would put me past my goal, I never hit my goals! I'd be thrilled with 16 lbs my first month... but I can't let myself get excited about it, I'm SO scared I'm going to go weigh tomorrow and find out that my scale was wrong... I know, this is just a mental thing, and really what I want to do is jump up and down and kiss the first person I see... but I know I can't be alone in this fear... anyone else? I won't even update my ticker until I hear it from doctors mouth

LOL!!!!

you know my friends keep telling me they are going to take my scales away because i weigh twice a day since i purchased my new scale. my period is about to start (Friday) and i am getting upset because i haven't lost as much as i did the first week. But we will see if its because of the water retenion from PMS thats holding up my weight loss. I guess I will have to wait till next Friday to see if I lost anything after TOM visits. But i hope i am like you to lose weight while on my period. I have been taking Phen for 3 weeks today and this is my first TOM since starting the meds. I don't get to do weigh ins because my primary dr. prescribed them to me and he just told me to call back after a month to get a refill so i am stuff weighing myself all the time. Let us know how your weigh in goes.

tifftiff8 · August 20th, 2008, 10:41 AM

I can understand your excitment and your doubts. but I am happy for you! At any rate tomorrow when you go to weigh in, just keep in mind that a loss is a loss even if it doesn't meet your expectations! Further more, you are have TOM! That would be great to have lost!!!!!! So keep that up and as far as kissing someone....kiss yourself!!!!! You deserve a hug from you and telling that woman in front of you in the mirror how total she is on the inside and out! You really are an awesome light here on this site! So Please stay focused and keep doin' what you're doin'!!!!!!! You deserve all the happiness and joy that comes with this new lifestyle!!!!

tifftiff8 · August 20th, 2008, 10:42 AM

P.S. That is why I have not bought a scale. I am afraid I will become addicted to getting on it and riding an emotional roller coaster! LOL Can't handle it....LOL

daiseered · August 20th, 2008, 10:49 AM

That's awesome! Good for you! Hopefully it's not a fluke and you don't have to throw the scale out the window

A trick I did, and the only reason I think I have lost during TOM is I started taking a Pamprin every day several days before I started (I started as soon as I got the boob ache, LOL) And I increased my water intake, and increased cardio by an extra 10 mins... I have NEVER lost during TOM, generally gain... so something in that mix helped!! LOL! But I guarantee I'll do that every single month! Might be worth a try!!! Wishing you luck!!!

Thanks so much Tiff!! I know, how many times do I say "a loss is a loss"! LOL! But it's just when you SEE it on the scale... I don't know, I've never experienced that before... generally the scales over the last 3 years have gone up and CREEEPED down... so this is sort of a new feeling... I was thrilled with 3 lbs last week, I mean THRILLED... but the thought that I could lose 5 lbs in a week is just flabbergasting to me... My bariatric dr told me that because of my PCOS and metabolic resistance, and insulin resistance, etc. that I would have a tough time on the program and lose slower... so I came into this a little skeptical thinking that I was going to be the one that loses so slow and I would need to break out my big girl pants quite often... but instead, I'm breaking out my smaller pants

LMAO!!!

Thanks girls!!

I completely understand! I have lost 3 pounds since Thursday, if not 4 because my scale and the doctors is about a 1 pound difference (but I try not to play that game) and 7 since the sunday before last. Its hard to believe I have lost 13 because i really cant see a big difference but i know i feel better about myself. I weigh in 2 3 times a day and I hate doing that. I'd rather do it 1 time a day or even every few days. But it keeps me motivated. Just be happy!! I know if I'm not I'll go back into my eating depression!

So true!!! I am happier than I have been in a long time... and I am finally starting to really see it, and finally having others notice, so that really makes a big difference.
Congrats on your loss so far, you are doing GREAT!!!!!!

The first weigh-in I had at my doctors, they had the old-type scale. I needed to lose 5lbs or more (but not too much) a month to get a refill (now I only have to lose 4lbs a month) .

When I went for my 1st month weigh-in (I knew I lost weight so I was confident) BUT when I rounded the corner, there was a NEW state of the art scale. I panicked, thoughts races in my head....what if my weight is off, what is I only lost 4 lbs because of this damn scale change.....but alas I lost more than 5lbs and was then very excited about the new scale.

Actually my doc's scale is always giving me a lower number than the one to get at my scale at home, so I am always happy about that!

Did he tell you that you couldn't "lose too much?"

njboxermom · August 20th, 2008, 11:48 AM

Yes, I actually go to my family practicioner who I have had since I was a child, so she knows all of my weight history and is very caring, I actually asked her for the phen and she said yes. (I had heard about phen from someone I knew)

The reasoning is I guess that she wants me to take it off and keep it off. It makes sense and I am thankful to have a caring doctor (she is bit dry sometimes) but I was really glad she didn't shut me down when I asked for phen like I had heard alot of people complain of on here.

kenchadak · August 20th, 2008, 11:50 AM

hey, I've had some issues also. i've been sitting at -15lbs for a mnth. didn't have period last mnth. now, I am 1st 2 days of my period and looks like lost a lb. or 2. I didn't gain last mnth, but didnt loose until the few days before I started. Last time I did phen. It started out not gaining or loosing at that time of the mnth. Then if I remeber right... I started loosing around that time. But, then a little after that BAM! My 3rd. child. lol! should of not been surprised. Well, this time that wont be a issue. I will be now able too focus on loosing even during TOM. Anyhow dont worry about it, until you go too ur dr.s I am sure u probably have lost what u said u did.
Good 4 U! congrats!
