robbynnoel Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I wrote one of these a few years ago with over 100 reasons...but I can't find it, so I've started a new one...please feel free to add anything I've missed. Ignore the scale if You are not weighing at a consistant time of day You are not wearing consistant clothing You are weighing with shoes and normally you don't You are weighing prior to your TOM You are weighing during your TOM You are weighed yesterday You weighed the day before yesterday You weighed three days before You weighed four days before You weighed five days before You weighed six days before You consumed a meal prior to weighing You consumed water prior to weighing You consumed liquid prior to weighing You exercised more than usual You forgot to take your regular medications You consumed a meal with more sodium than you normally do 24 hours prior You consumed a meal with more sodium that you normally would 2 days prior You consumed a meal with more sodium that you normally would 3 days prior Your clothes are lose You're losing inches You're wearing heavier jewlery than usual You're wearing heavier hair products than usual You're losing body fat You are able to wear smaller items in your closet you weren't able to wear a month ago You're jeans fit comfortably You've been following your program Your food diary numbers are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsParris Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thanks for that! I try to wait just once per week, but I get impatient, then I get pissed off at my scales. As long as it doesn't go up more than 2 lbs., I just chalk it up to basic fluctuations and try not to get too fixated on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbynnoel Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hugs everyone...I remembered a few more...it's just over 70 now. I'm sure the rest will come to me tonight. Feel free to add on. I know we can get to 100. Unfortunately, even after following all of the rules, sometimes it takes our bodies time to catch up with our progress.

BrandNewDawn Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Robbynnoel, Thanks for the laugh. I love the one about wearing heavier hair products than usual. I do not have a problem with my scale but I used to so I can relate to those bad old days of weighing every hour and letting the scale dictate how I felt about myself. I am glad to hear you have a scheduled surgery date for OCC. Sorry about your experience with your former doctor. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babe Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 robbyn, i love this !!! here's a couple i just thought of: you've been emotionally eating prior to weigh you've been less active than usual you've just had a fill you need a fill you're sick you've had a fight with you SO or child (or parent or sibling) you've drunk alcohol in the past 24 hours you've drunk alcohol just prior to weigh in your scale is wonky (yes that's a technical term) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wanted to add water bloat from a plane trip or a long car ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
