Lost 2 pounds.. or no pounds

I'm not really sure if I lost any weight or not when I weighed this morning. I got on the scale prior to my workout and my weight was the same as it was on Friday. I worked out, got my shower, and weighed again on my way out the door. Oddly enough, it showed a 2-pound drop in weight. So, I'm a little confused if I lost 2 pounds or nothing at all.

Either way, I'm dropping in size. I had my monthly Masonic business meeting last night. One of my brothers asked me how much weight had I lost. Always a good question to hear. My dress belt was even fitting looser, so I had to take it up a notch.

Regardless of what weight I go with, the results are visible in both body size and body weight. I'm still lighter than I was and I'm going to be lighter than I am. I'm going to say I'm at 333, and take the 2-pound loss for no other reason than to keep me motivated.

It's very flattering. There is another sign things are working right. I went to sit up in the bed last weekend. I was able to basically do a sit-up on the bed. I can't tell you when was the last time I ever did that! Evidence of improved core strength!

Good for you traveling! Even as a big girl I've always had that core strength. Weird I guess. Anyways, your weight can fluctuate by a few pounds throughout the day so whatever motivates you and works. As of this morning I've only lost 12 pounds (UGH!) so I'm at 291. I am SO trying to get under 290 within the next day or so and keep going.

I know this sounds weird but it's nice to hear from a guy who's going through the same thing. lol :)

Hi, kikinash.

How long did it take you to drop the 12 pounds?

I know you want to drop that one pound, but don't get caught up in focusing on the scale and lose sight of the process.

No, its not weird at all! Actually, I'm the one who sometimes feels out of place, as I seem to be the lone guy in this group who is actively posting and commenting. When y'all comment or send hugs, it really means a great deal as I get a since of belonging and fitting in a group where a man could be easily overlooked.

Well, I did a 21 day no junk food challenge in January & lost 10 pounds. Started eating "normal foods" after that & gained several pounds back! :( I guess it was random emotional eating too. Single girls + Valentine's day = not a good combo. Lol Anyways, I guess you could say it's taken me since New Years to lose it. That being said I seem to be better focused lately! Hopefully I can keep up the motivation. :)

I love chips! Always have. I needed a snack one day and found a chip that I can have without going insane with calories and such. Kellogg's Special K Cracker Chips are 110 calories for the whole bag. I tried the Sour Cream and Onion chips and the Cheddar. Have to save the sour cream and onion was my favorite. If I'm at work and nothing to snack on and get hungry, I grab some of those chips and enjoy without taking a big hit in either fat or calories.

Ash, keep going, being down 12lbs is great! Just remember you could be up 12lbs if you weren't trying at all!!
