Right after we got back from Thanksgiving, I bought a doctor’s scale much like my in-laws’ (you can see it here). I haven’t used it much, since I started attended WW every week and I use their weigh-in as my official weight. But the scale at home agrees remarkably well with WW; in fact, on Wednesday I was warned ahead of time not to expect miracles at my weigh-in.
I decided to start weighing myself once on the weekend, just to check in, make sure I hadn’t swallowed a cow unexpectedly or anything.
This morning? 3 pound loss.
Heh. Heh. I see.
Given that I haven’t had any surgery and no limbs have fallen off…I guess I was just retaining water.
I’ll shut up now.
Here’s how you can use math to help you see the meaning within your weight fluctuations:

If you have a Palm Pilot, he offers free software you can use to track your weight and see the overall trend within the fluctuations.
