Am i losing wieght too fast

[redbreast]

Last week i wieghed and was 9st 10lb well today i stripped off butt naked and jumped on the scales and was 9st 4lb, boy was i surprised.

But maybe not as surprised as the shoppers in Boots the Chemist

6lb weight loss in a week is ok. I regularly weigh 3lb less in the morning than I did the night before.I obviously put it back on each day but it has always puzzled me.lol.

my weight fluctuates by 6lbs all the time, even from eve to morning so i wouldnt be concerned unless this happens often

My weight fluctuates too, by half a stone a week and I generally weigh less if I have had alcohol (dehydration I suspect). Dont worry about it, just make sure you use the same scales all the time.

Was wondering however, if anyone would like to set up a Diet Buddy Thread, so we could all support each other.

I use one of the scales that measures body fat and water levels as well, and they recommend that you weigh yourself late afternoon when every thing in your body is settled and is hydrated properly.
I found that if I weigh myself in the morning I weigh less but my body fat content is higher

If you are looking to lose weight healthily, so it stays off for longer, then gradual loss is best, 1-2 pounds per week is the norm.

The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning, after emptying your bladder. This is when your weight will be most accurate. If you weigh yourself later in the day, you will probably be a few pounds heavier, as your body will have taken on water throughout that day.

Rather than weigh yourself daily, try to only do it once per week, weight will also fluctuate during your menstrual cycle. I always think it's better to judge weight loss by inch loss, measure yourself, (waist, upper thigh, bust, hips and upper arm) once per month and judge how you feel and look in your clothing. Unfortunately, far too many people place too much emphasis on what they weigh on the scales.
