Hard time with weight loss on the weekend

[O2BSkinny 247]

I never lose weight on the weekend and most weekends I gain, despite following my normal eating regiment. Overall, I am extremely happy with my loss, but would like some guidance in dealing with weekend weight gain. Thanks!

Now realistically, if you are following the SAME eating regimen on the weekend as you do during the week, it would be impossible for you to gain on the weekends. Come clean with yourself, write down what you are eating and drinking and you should then see WHY you are gaining on the weekends.

Easy cheesey! Don't weigh yourself on the weekend!

I know that sounds flip, but weight fluctuates every day and all day. It could be Water weight from sodium, or your muscles holding onto it because you are moving more, or simply that you are weighing at a different time of day.

I weigh and log daily, but it never bothers me. In fact, it motivates me to stick to plan. If you are doing what you should, no worries! The scale will move.

I have made a list. The only thing that is different is that I don't work on the weekend. Saturday morning I weighed 206.4 and this morning I had gained 1.6 lbs. As a 3rd grade teacher, I am very busy all day, but not so much on the weekends. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for the encouragement. I do weigh daily and I must say that I am obsessed with weighing. I am so eager to get under 200lbs that I can almost taste it! I haven't been there in 10 years.

That's awesome! Congratulations. You are doing great. Focus on the big picture, revel in your success and in how good you feel. I bet chasing those ankle biters is much easier now than it has been in a long time and I am sure you look even more amazing than you did when you started.

The number on the scale is fun to look at, how you FEEL is what is important.

Thank you! I tell people all the time how much better I feel working with my kiddos at school and playing with my two year old daughter!

And really, is a fluctuating number (and I bet it's a small difference) really worth worrying about?

Go play with your kid, girl! We can Celebrate 199.8 when it happens.
