lapbander081004 7 Posted October 25, 2004 Delarla... Sounds lke you went for your walk and then came home and got on the scale. If you did you shouldn't. Your body will weigh heavier from the activity. You should rest for 20-30 minutes after any type excerise before weighing yourself. I learned this from Weight Watcher(at least I learned something there since I was a member 10 times). When they told me this I researched it with a trainer at the gym and he confirmed it. I even tried resting for a whole week once just to be lighter. lol Just a little FYI Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie328 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Wow Greg that is very interesting. I wonder why that is? Because your body is holding Water to hydrate itself? Hmmmm.... Anyway, you guys are awesome!! Congrats to all of you for having a great weigh in! Congrats Lisa for seeing the 240's..woo hoo that must be exilerating. One thing that never gets old is seeing your weight go down! Once I get my fill I will join you in your challenge. I am on solids and holding steady but once I get my fill....it's all downhill from there...in a good way of course! Have a great week guys and congrats again, your doing great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebeccalee 2 Posted October 25, 2004 Margie and Michelle -- It's good to see it move, isn't it?! Glad you both saw a loss. DeLarla --Those 40s are right there! Keep moving it! (Maybe I'll move mine a bit, too. ) Betty -- YeeHaw! You are on the way, Baby! Doesn't that make it feel a whole lot better?! You are doing so great, exercising and all. Fantastic! :Bunny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebeccalee 2 Posted October 25, 2004 Michelle, you probably are building muscles with your bike rides. You are inspiring. I need to do that. Deep breath... getting ready.... DeLarla -- ?? L-Bo ?? You just playing with words or does that mean something? You crack me up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted October 25, 2004 Yes Greg I was told that too Muscle weighs more then fat so when your muscles are expanded after exercise you will weigh more. True Fact! I never wegih any other time during the day htne first thing in the morning right after I get out of bed. You will always be at your lowest then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lapbander081004 7 Posted October 25, 2004 See Same here La_madam I weight myself as soon as I get up too. (well I make one quick stop, After all a gallon weight a few pounds). Since I work midnights When I get up at 10pm is when I get on scale. Sunday nite is my Monday thats why I was able to post it so soon. I'm not peeking during the week. It was hard at first but I'm used to it now and I don't keep glancing the way of the scale when I go in and out of the bedroom. Another addiction I kicked thru Banding. Wonder if it will work on Texas Hold-Em lol Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLarla 22 Posted October 25, 2004 Remember, I'm an alien so my body works differently, and I always weigh less after I exercise - I attribute it to sweating some Water out. I only weigh once a day before I exercise. But today I was just hoping to get a peek of things to come, so I hopped on after my walk, and los and beholdings, it said 249. Now I know those 240s are hiding inside me somewhere! Lots of people losing lots of weight around here... could it be the band? Betty, you're freaking me out. Maybe you're an alien cause this all seems so easy for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vtobon 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Wow! Everyone is doing an amazing job!!!! Congrats.! Well, I got on the scale and saw a .5 loss. However, I don't think it was dust like Greg said. I hopped off and got back on and it was the same. I wasn't too upset because from last Saturday to today it was a 3.5 loss. I must say it was very hard not to jump on the scale first thing in the morning every day last week but I did it. Good luck everyone and keep up the good work!

lapbander081004 7 Posted October 25, 2004 Now Veronica, you have to get with the program here LOL.. Once a week...If I cando it anyone can. Of course when you get the the stage that the weight comes opff slower its better to only get on once a week. Keeps the depressions off. Welcome on borad here none the less... We want to hear how our doing at all times. greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vtobon 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Thanks for the welcome. I saw an announcement for this pill called Cortislim. It is meant to help you reduce a stress hormone produced when people are under stress. Has anyone looked into it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted October 25, 2004 Lots of people losing lots of weight around here... could it be the band? Betty, you're freaking me out.
