Weight gain in hospital?

[Martene81 383]

So I know a lot people gain weight in the hospital like I did...my question is do you factor that weight in your weekly weight loss??

I gained a whopping 8 pounds while in the hospital but has since lost it of course. I'm 1 week out today and counting those 8 pounds I'm down a total of 16, and without those added pounds I'm down 8! I'm not a stickler for numbers at all, I do however want to track my weekly progress so wasn't sure if I just omit those 16 or what anywhoo...I'm pleased with the first week and hope to keep rockin this thing!!

I just subtract my current weight from my starting weight and use that total. I gained about the same as you did in the hospital and it was gone pretty quickly after I got home.

Sounds like you're doing great! Keep up the good work!!

Ok thanks!! yea I figured using that wouldn't serve much of a purpose. I'm just glad to see some progress I'm actually down 31 pounds from my starting weight and that's more than I've ever lost in life lol.
