All I was trying to get at is that if you've been eating well, have a calorie deficit everyday and exercise you're probably down more then 1 lb
I get ya; my diet hasn't been perfect and exercise is a bit all over the place so it's hard to know how much weight I have lost. The measuring tape will probably give me a better idea 0 -
Arghhh!!
Using a scales to measure weight loss makes no sense!
Was it the same scales?
Was it on the same floor?
Were you wearing the same clothes?
Have you gained muscle mass?
Do you have damaged muscle? Your body floods that area with water leading to 'water-weight'
Do your clothes fit better is the best measure, IMO.

Yeah I don't get this either.
I also don't really get when people say they lose or put on 1 or 2 pounds and think it matters...that's nothing. I often lose 2 kilos in a week if I am stressed and don't really make anything of it.
And when people freak out over putting on 1 or 2 pounds in a week..seriously?! So many factors could contribute to putting on a few pounds...nothing to get upset about!0 -

I bought a scales a while back. Told my boyfriend we have to move it from next to the bathroom door cause I weigh myself waaaaay too often with it so easily available
But I have lost about a stone this year, which I feel is super slow going compared to rates I've lost weight before, but I've been doing it the smart and healthy way mooooostly 0 -

People's bodies drop or hold on to weight differently though. I'd have to literally eat nothing for a week to lose 2kg in that space of time. Believe me, if I lost that much weight in a week I'd be singing it from the rooftops. Losing 1lb does matter to me, it matters to other people too.0 -

I guess I'm different so! My weight never stays the same. Haven't weighed myself in about 3 months now (batteries went in scales can't be arsed getting new ones!)...but anytime I do it's different everyday. Had a vomiting bug once and it went from 56 to 52 kilos in 4 days My brother is the same. He has to eat about 3 dinners every evening or else he looks ill..
Good luck with the weight loss 0 -

We got the lowdown on the ethos and what they do with the kids. Met his teachers, saw the awesome facilities. I know one of the parents really well too. Feeling great about him going there now.🐒
Ohh is he moving pre school?
My monkey has been put under pressure to do well in his drumcondras. He's in a very academic school, and because he's clever, a bit of extra pressure (that I don't fully agree with) has been put on. But, I as chatting to his resource teacher the other day and she said he's done really well 0 -

Tests in numeracy and literacy for him. There's an Irish one too but he doesn't do Irish. Last year he was in the 99th percentile for literacy. I don't think he did as well this year cos he doesn't like pressure. His score doesn't matter to us, once he gave it his best shot 0 -

The belt will not take any more holes Is moving onto a weaker part of the belt so can not.
Re weight: I keep an eye on mine as if I go uo by more than 2lb then it is hard to loose - sure I would love to loose 7lb (to get back to my 20's weight) but I am 39 so being a few lb heavier than when I was 21 is OK.
My darling son has an ear ache, feel so sorry for him.0 -

That's odd about the drumcondras. Our school is very high achieving as well but we deliberately do not make a fuss about them before the test. We agreed that its not really helpful to the children to put extra pressure on them prior to the test. Didn't have drumcondras this year as I'm teaching Senior Infants but to the best of my knowledge the kids were only told the day of the first test to prevent unnecessary worrying/stress.0 -

That is sickening. Why do these people not just get their animals nuetered or better still not bother having animals at all. Clearly there is no proper love, respect or care for the animals they have if they could justify doing that to pups. We used have a neighbour years ago whose dog probably had pups every time she was in heat. Very few would ever get a home, the pups were usually drowned. I could never understand it. Used be crying to my parents about it every time I realised there was a new litter on the way. If I had my way we probably would have ended up with about 50 dogs over the years because of it!0 -
Well, if you lose a pound on week one, and lose another pound in week two etc...that's more statistically significant than losing one one week and putting one on the next week. It can be a big deal if you're trying hard to lose weight.Yeah I don't get this either.

I weigh myself in the nip, once a week, in the morning before I have my shower (so I am already conveniently in the nip!).TeletextPear wrote: »Am I the only person who weighs in in the nip?
