Holy patootie not loving my super sized booty

[Candy_f_x]

So I am back again and I get to say that not only did I lose 30lbs and got down to 202 my smallest in quite a few years. I also get to admit to the amazing feat of gaining it all back in less than a month . Well crappers to me. I don't know what happened well actually I do. I thought hey its just 1 doughnut, cookie, soda, blah blah blah, and low and behold I go to put on my new smaller pants and well there a bit snug. If there is such a thing as a super muffin top then ya thats whats going on there. Also I have been playing with my scale and have noticed something odd about my weight it varies by a HUGE amount during the day. Like 10-15lbs just in one day and not just lighter in the morning heavier at night like what I would expect but like from 224-239 during random times of the day. It seems meal times have no connection either since I can weigh in the morning eat a bowl of oatmeal and 4 hours later have gained 10lbs then eat dinner and weigh and mysteriously with a full stomach be the same weight I was when I woke up. Other times I will weigh in at 239 in the morning then 222 at night, I know some fluctuation is normal but really? WTF? So thats a new thing that has never happened to that extreme before. Anyhoo I noticed my license expires December 1st. My last pic I was at 180 and I am not about to go in there and have to fill out another adjustment on my weight. So Now I am at 222-239 depending on what time of day it is. I am making a short term goal of at least 10lbs a month until December when I renew my license. Really I need to do this seriously because I really am depressed about this weight. I need to do something about it. I can't do it alone so please you guys, help me out kick my butt, yell, get on me, do whatever you want to get my attention. Apparently my will is not as strong on this as I thought. I know some of you guys can understand what I mean when I say this isn't just about me getting "skinny" its about me getting healthy. I can't keep up with my kids and Im only 26. Sorry this was so long apparently there are a lot of thoughts I need to get organized. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

How reliable is that scale?

i'd suggest not weighing yourself so much during the day. i would weigh yourself one morning on your scale, and then go weigh yourself somewhere reliable (doctor office, gym, friend's house etc) as soon after that as possible. There is likely to be a difference between the numbers, and that will let you know how accurate your scale is. Then you can adjust future weights accordingly, checking maybe once a month to make sure you are still recording accurate weights. That much of a weight range is too much to deal with in my opinion.

Its accurate. It says the same thing the Dr scale says every time I go there. I usually don't weigh that much I just get bored and play around with it somedays. Like last night right before I went to bed it said 231.6 now this morning I get up and see if my pattern is still the same and yep its at 237.3. Really? How does someone gain 6lbs in there sleep? I know I didn't really gain 6lbs overnight but something is wacky somewhere and its not my scale. My husband gets on it and it says the same weight for him everytime or maybe a 1-2lb difference. Its a weight watchers brand digital scale, it stays in the same spot so I don't know whats up there. Later today Ill weigh again because Im curious as to what it will say and Im sure it will go down to at least 232 by tonight but really WTF? What coud be causing such a huge difference?

Hey Candy. That scale thing and weight fluctuations is weird isn't it? My weight only fluctuates maybe 2-3 pounds depending on what I've eaten and what time of day, but, my bf fluctuates between 163-178 on any given day. One weight in the morning and 10 pounds heavier a few hours later. he is very lean and naturally muscular, I hate him. No, not really, but what great genes he has. His weight does this all the time, while the same exact scale shows me the same all the time, so I don't know what's up with that. Good luck on your new journey.
