Weekly weigh in - Fridays


Sounds like a lovely holiday. Clothes replacement is sooo expensive. The forum should set up an exchange for those going through various stages of weight loss! Sounds like you’ll just have to eat more - the chocolate olive oil cake is quite calorific, so maybe a good excuse to have more of that.
 

I weigh myself every morning and notice that my weight fluctuates between 58 and 59, and occasionally touches on 60.
I lost 12 kgs five months ago during a serious health crisis and reduction of food intake.
I have been trying to gain a couple of kgs but without success so far.
According to a BMR calculator I need to raise my intake of daily calories to 1330.

Can someone suggest how to calculate the equivalence of calories and carbs to help regulate food intake?
 
Wow. I am shocked at how often people weigh themselves. It's a bit worrying. I think once a week is okay. 2lb difference could just be because you need a big wee. Once a month I weigh more (sorry guys) it's a hormone thing. I am delighted for anyone who manages to lose any amount of weight in this life coz the only thing I ever lose is the change from my pocket and the love of a good man. .
 

This might help. There are plenty of others around, but I just knew where to find this one:

Jaz - I think folks weight frequently or infrequently as they feel comfortable with. I don't believe there's any definitely right answer.

Personally, even though I am very slight, I weigh myself every day, doing my sten-on/step-off routine. I just mentally note what it says and move on. Most days I can pretty well predict what it'll be. Once a week, I do a full body "scan", on my scales, which measure weight, fat, muscle, visceral fat and calculate a BMR.

When I do my weekly scan, I am aking not eof whether I have gained or lost a material amount of fat or muscle, rather than my actual weight.

As I say, there's no correct answer and I have no expectation of you or anyone else adopting my approach.
 
 
Morning all. A day early to record my pre-holiday weight.

0.4kg down on last week so still within my recent range @58.4kg. Body fat % is down by 0.7%.
 
Good morning all. 12 stone 11 ( 81.3 kg ) this morning. Thats a drop of 2 pounds, although i think dehydration is some of that. Have a good week, take care in the heat.
 
Good morning folks. 72.5 kgs today so a drop of 2 since last week with no fasting involved. I wouldn't say I need to lose weight anymore bmi 21.6 and waist to height just under .5. However, that seems to be what happens instead of any better bg control. BG control is ok but if you don't try to make improvements they won't happen.
 
Morning all pleased today as maintaining at 8 stone 13 - a bit low for me but importantly no more losing at moment so body setting down again I hope into a new set point.
Hope everyone happy with their results this week and good luck for the week ahead.

14st 9lb I thin it's down 1 .

Has a good hunger free week avoiding all the nice things on the BBQ'S.
 
@Jaz006 One thing I think weighing daily shows up very quickly is how well hydrated you are. There can be big differences in weight after a good workout the day before and much as some would love it to be fat loss we know that ain't possible. Rehydrate then weigh again next day. Just my opinion on the benefits but we all have to deal with these things our own way - or weigh

I guess I've worked with young people for a long time and have therefore learnt weighing yourself too much is not good thing... for your mental health and self confidence. (Body image). But hey each to their own.
 
Good morning all. 12 stone 11 ( 81.3 kg ) . No change. I am happy with that. It takes a bit of time to make a new setpoint. .i.e if you have some quick weight loss, it takes some time to make it stick. Have a great week.
