Please don't shoot me!
So, the last post? In which I said I lost weight? July 12th.
Since then, I have lost an additional 5 pounds. Yes. Five Pounds. In six days.
According to my roommate, The Running Coach, that's too fast.

It's call water weight..
Depending the time of the day, and such, your body can fluctuate within a 10 lb range.
Don’t believe me? Weight yourself after you just woke up, after you morning pee and poop and see how much you weight. Weight yourself before you exercise and right after you exercise and see the difference.
and then Weight yourself before and after a big meal...
TWAG, I do that all the time. I constanly weigh myself. The best time is in the morning first thing after going to the bathroom.
TWAM, as much as I love you, never say this sentence to a woman: "It's called water weight."
Uh, no shit, Sherlock! Any woman, by the time she's 15, will have already forgotten more about water weight than YOU will have ever known. (You know, because of that whole "period" thing--as in, the thing that women obsess about constantly.) So, lay off on the condescension, will ya?
Women weigh themselves constantly, as in, all the time, so I can tell you that I don't need to perform your particular experiment in order to believe you that my weight fluctuates. I mark my weight loss from the same time every day, after the same activities--as Glitter does, and probably 99% of females, right after the morning pee and right before the shower. It's that time that I mark. (The other 15 times a day I weigh myself are just for tracking.) So believe me when I say that I've lost five pounds. On the other hand, and I thought about this already, I WAS on the rag last week, which could have prevented me actually seeing my weight drop--so when I lost all that water weight this weekend, it seemes like a big drop, when really I was losing weight steadily.
share your secrets, please! lol.
i haven't been weighing myself. i'm scale-phobic.
Hi, Girl In Baltimore! I've missed you!
Sadly, if I knew what I was doing, I probably wouldn't be losing weight too fast, either.
I do plan on shooting you. Right after I go to the Gym. Now you can't say that you have much more to lose than me anymore.
Water weight....ugh! My weight can fluctuate 5 pounds in a day! Good for you, though.
And yes, I weigh first thing in the morning, before the shower and after I pee.
well damn.. sorry Aarwenn. I wasn't trying to be condescending.. It was actually my mistake.. I actually read you "gained" 5 lbs..
I am happy for you Aarwenn. Keep up the good work..
TWAM, TWAM!
Girls. Let us all join hands give TWAM a big hug in lieu of punching him, for a) trying to educate us about water weight, and b) assuming that I had gained five pounds instead of lost them. :)
Really, dollface, you make me laugh. And I have a huge sunburn on my back from washing my car in my bikini top and shorts, which I felt confident enough to do as I've lost a little weight, so laughing hurts! But thanks for the laugh anyway, and for the honesty. I read your blog every day.
me too about weighing after the pee, before the shower.
i am not so lucky in my weight loss efforts though.. and i attribute it to recently finding out that not only is my thyroid underactive, but i am allergic to gluten.
now that i'm on thyroid meds and gluten free and still working out in the mornings, i hope to see some loss soon, damnit!
I have to say, now that I've been so public about losing weight, I'm terrified I'm going to stop and gain it back. Or something. Especially since I just had a big piece of pizza for lunch. But I WILL be kickboxing today!
I've discovered, however, that the easiest way to lose weight is just to not eat. Simple!
