Hard time with weight loss on the weekend

[LipstickLady 25,682]

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.

I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you are following your plan. As lipstick lady said, it's normal fluctuation. I am a daily weigher, and I'll never quit I also log and chart it daily, too. However, I also monitor it on a weekly basis. So while there are times it feels like nothing is coming off because I am on the scale once daily, week to week there is almost always a loss. For instance, I lost NOTHING for the past 12 days! But, when I look at it week to week, I have a fairly steady loss of 1-2 pounds. I've done this since surgery, and I've had a total of 5 weeks out of 44 that I either stayed the same or had a small gain. Those are pretty good (and I think normal) statistics.

Thanks everyone! Glad to see that I'm not the only one that weighs daily! I weigh every morning and in the late afternoon. My morning weight is what I like most and record in my data system. Be blessed!

Weigh daily??????????????....Hell, I'm hardcore, I weigh hourly!!!! Well, it's not really that often, but I do weigh 2 or more times a day.

And as far as gaining weight on the weekends, I actually plan on it. I have my "eat anything I want" meal on Sat night and I'm usually 1 to 3 lbs heavier by Monday, but I know the extra salt will get flushed out of my system and the weight will be gone in a day or so and I'll start losing again - as long as I stick to my diet and walking plan. I'm 10 months out and my plan seems to work for me so I'm sticking to it.

I believe part of the reason I gain weight on the weekends is that I don't drink coffee - a diuretic - on the weekends, plus I lose out on the energy from the caffeine. So my weekends are pretty sedentary. I go from walking 3 to 5 miles a day M-F to less than 1 mile a day over the weekend.

So you might want to look at your activity levels. I'm sure during the week, your standing and walking at work - more than you might realize. It could be that little extra that is burning enough calories to cause your weight loss.
