Weight Bobbing....

[cbreeden28 23]

My weight bobs around a lot for several days. Right now, I'm going back and forth between 247, 249, and 250. One day, I'm 250, the next, I'm 249, then I'm 250 again, then 247. Anyone else do this a lot. I weight every morning and it does this all week. It's very aggravating. It does eventually go down. But, I will continue to bounce back and forth like that for a week or so and then it will drop again. Someday's, when I show a 3 pound gain the next morning, I feel like I did something wrong, I try not to let it discourage me, but it's still annoying. I have tried to switch to weighing once a week, but it's so tempting each morning to see what I accomplished the previous day.

I have that same problem

I weigh once a week I cant do the daily thing. I believe its depressing especially if you dont lose. Why should i stress myself out like that I made a vow when I got banded to weigh weekly only. Although tempted I bypass the thought to weigh in. When I was dieting in the pass, I weigh like that but no more. Good luck.

Do you see changes more clearly doing it this way. Like steady downward progress instead of up and down?

I fluctuate bad too. Yet I still torture myself with a daily weigh-in.

I've been doing the same thing for the last year! Full of disappointment i decided to go back to basics did some research on the lap band do's and dont's. I make sure i am getting @least 60 calories of Protein from my Protein shakes. drinks plenty of Water each day@ least 80 oz. A day. Stay away from high sugared drinks and sweets! Eat Your Protein, protein, protein! !!!! Since i have been sticking to these rules i've lost 10 lbs. In 2 weeks! The only loss in a year! And i too used to way myself every morning, not anymore, only once a week no more obsessing over numbers on the scale ...

You lose inches before you lose on the scale! Good luck!

I have had that problem lately. Ever since I lost 100lbs. I gain 1 or 2 lbs and them I lose them. I cant seems to break the 100lbs mark. It gets frustrating but hopefully i could break it. Good luck

I do the weight bobbing thing as well. Finally it will settle at a weight for a couple of days, then start bobbing again. Once it starts, I know that EVENTUALLY it will be less. Just so frustrating to watch the scale back up once it has come off a higher number.

I have thought about weighing once a week but what if I weigh in on a high day? LOL.....really though, not trying to be too serious about it. I know it's a long term commitment

That has been happining to me and depressing me. My husband told me to quit weighing myself everyday so now I'm going to weigh myself once a week

Every time I have gotten on the scale it has been going in the right direction down. I have had no bouts of gaining weight so far, not saying it won't happen but it has not happen yet. It gives me peace to not have to stress about that scale daily. I just let my body do what it has to do and find out at the end of the week, whether I'm on track or need to change something. Good luck

I find that if I don't eat too late at night and drink plenty of good liquids throughout the day, I am usually ok. My weight might jump by .2 or .5, but nothing more.

I also weigh in every morning....afraid to let it go for the week. At least if I see it go up i quickly cut back to get it down. I know this is frustrating but it works for me. Don't want to lose my grip on the weight loss.
