Sounds like the shit I drink DS. Lately it's Adriondac or someting like that, the cheap stuff. The ingredients say carbonated water and natural flavor. Legally I do not know if that includes stevia, the other shit I drank was Giant Eagle brand selzer water and was more "dry". They have different flavors like mandarin orange and lemon lime. There's one with coconut something I think that damnear kilt me. But the Adriondriac or whatever seems to be sweet for some reason. Of course it might just be me becasue I can smell a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of coffee from across the room.

But to the OP, yes it can fluctuate. Let me put it this way, if you are about ready to take a pee and that pee might be a half gallon, that is FOUR POUNDS. So don't be disappointed if it comes back, of course then you can weigh yourself after the bathroom, which is actually the best idea. It's a bit more accurate really.

But if what you're doing now is setting a trend, hope for the best. If you lose five pounds a month that it sixty pounds a year. That might not seem lke much but lose that much and you'll feel so good it doesn't matter anymore.

And now I have to take my own advice because I've gained about forty pounds in the last few months. After being sick I AM gaining it in the right places, but I am also gaining it in the wrong places.

Try sugar free powerade. A quart of gatorade has about 400 or so calories and after you work hard, you can slam that much is about 30 seconds if it's nice n cold. The sugar free powerade is just as good and has the same electrolytes.

Status: offline 		I don't have a scale at home, and I don't trust those home scales, I prefer the medical all digital ones that the hospital has, but I do always wear the lightest possible shoes and clothing, so you don't have huge clunky shoes and heavy clothing weighing down the results.

And the rescue does have a huge heavy duty  medical scale for the dogs and every few weeks I get on that real quick when no one is looking lol. It's how I knew I went from 318 to 313 . 7 since last thursday.

I didn't care for food journaling it drove me nuts and for what ever reason made me obsess about food, negativly. It got to where I would not eat at all because I was so worried about it fitting in with what I was "supposed to do" till  I was desperate to eat and was driving Daddy nuts, and he'd yell at me to go eat, and I'd be so hungry and so desperate I'd just shove  the first thing I could get in my mouth and over eat what ever I could get my hands on, usually things like peanutbutter and crackers or a whole bag of chips, or sourcream and crackers because I was litterally so hungry from not eating all day. it wasn't pretty.


Either that or i'd forget to write it down and then end up obsessing about trying to remember when I ate what and being upset I couldn't remember.

I don't have trouble knowing "just how much" food I am eating, with out journaling it cause I'm not a mindless gnosher who eats at the pc or in bed at the tv, and then you mindlessly eat a ton not even thinking about it cause you're focused on the tv. I'm aware of what I am consuming and how much, because I pay attention to when I eat and when I snack. and I pay attention to portion amounts. if a serving size of almonds is 16 I count out 16 and put the bag away,  if a serving size of wheat thins is 11 I count 11 and put them away,  if 1 yogurt is a serving size I eat it and don't go back for another etc, etc,

TFB:  Always weigh yourself on the same day each week, first thing in the morning before breakfast.  It might also be helpful for you to write it on the calendar so you can visibly see your progress.  Consider keeping a food diary for a week or two so you can keep track of how much you are really eating.  This will help you to really see how the little things you might be snacking on add up over the course of the day.

Status: offline 		I'll have to try that if I want something different. I drink water, crystal light, and ice tea, and with the ice tea I put in 2 packets of sweet and low, and that's enough for me. The ice tea is mostly in the summer, or when we eat out, which is getting less and less.

I remember a long time ago before the pre diabetic diagnosis, I drank a lot of juice and I loved it, and I kept gaining weight, and gaining weight, and nothing had changed, I wasn't eating more, or eating differently or nothing, and I didn't know why I was gaining weight, and the dr's didn't, and once I stopped drinking juice, the weight just started coming off. No other changes, no exercise, nothing changed, just the juice consumption.


I'll recomend that to my friend about your trick because both her and her honey pie are diabetic, and juice lovers, and her sugars are regularly 400 to 200 to 220, because she won't stop drinking juice and soda's. she was telling me she had to get it undercontrol cause she had a kidlet to think about and I told her,  juice is one of the first things you're gonna need to change.

[I'm diabetic and I avoid the sugar substitutes.  I've heard nasty stuff about their effect on the body.

TFTB, I'd suggest doing what I do.  I keep a lot of carbonated water handy.  I make a drink consisting of carbonated water, with ice to make it cold, and I top it off with fruit juice.  If it's one part juice to five parts water, it has a sixth the carbs of actual juice.

When I was first w*orking on loosing weight, and eating right I went from 330 to 309 in a very short time. I don't know a time line exactly because it's been a long time, but I'd say it was less than a month.

Status: offline 		But you really aren't getting an idea of what food is doing to you on a daily basis.  Once a month when dieting is discouraging to the progress.  On a daily basis, the difference could be ounces, it could be pounds, it could be affected by a yet to happen bowel movement.  Once a week, a person can usually see a notable difference, yet it isn't so frequent that it can be discouraging with the up and down that can occur daily, or so infrequent that the dieter can't see how a couple of days in a week might have caused an issue.  Very few fitness programs geared towards weight loss support the daily or monthly weigh in.  This is a result of analysis that showed weekly worked best as a guide and a motivator.

Status: offline 		You might just try it with the junk/snack food then that you know isn't "best."  Chips, Wheat Thins, etc.  I can see where it can become a very negative thing and turn someone almost (or completely) anorexic, but if you do with just snacks, it might cause you to think if you really want that snack.  You know, the whole, "if I have a handful of chips, I need to write it down, but if I eat some nice raw veggies, I don't have to."  Of course, do what is working best for you.

It sounds like your friend is in denial about her condition.  Juice drinks are horrible for you, but fresh juice, like OJ and stuff is still full of sugar, calories and carbs and not a "better" option.  I've been drinking plain water for so long now, almost everything else is far too sweet to me.  Theoretically, finding better drink options should be the easiest thing for people to do, but some people just don't want to sacrifice anything. 

Sounds like the same thing with your partner.  He doesn't have the health problems (at this time), but he simply wants to drink what he wants to drink and everything else is going to get you a complaint.

Status: offline 		LafayetteLady -- Unlike you lol i really could care less what weight programs advocate or not -- most weight programs aren't geared towards analytical weight loss because most people don't want to or like being analytical in losing weight -- they want the -- tell me what to eat and what to do and i will lose weight.  I've been there done that and ya know, people need to create their own knowledge of themselves and what works. I don't advocate ignorance in weight loss, i advocate learning your body, knowing how it reacts to your life and that will help you when say in a week, your weight suddenly goes up.

If people need an official weigh in day, they can still weigh daily and only count officially once a week.  

And when someone sees no movement or a gain at the end of that week.  When you weigh every day, at the same time, you can get a knowledge of how your body is effected by the food you eat.  How do i know this, well gee i don't know because i do it?

I can tell you what foods cause me to retain water, i can tell you what the stress in my life does to my weight, i can tell you when my body needs more water because of the food i eat -- how do i know this, because i keep track of the foods i eat and i weigh daily the same time every day.

To me, the wondering and waiting and then the no change or a change is a gain, is much worse for someone like me and when i see the weight going down daily it motivates me to keep it going, when it stops or fluctuates up i can go back and look at what i did to have knowledge of how what i did effect me.  If i see myself going up for more than one day, i can evaluate overall to see if its time to change things up and finally, if i stall for more than a day with no movement at all, i know something does need to be changed up.

Personally, i don't agree with the weigh once a week rhetoric -- i think people need  to find what works for them. For some people the not knowing what is going on in the week works, for people like me who are very analytical and when i am losing weight very indepth about it, weigh everyday is simply more data to add to the mix that keeps me motivated and thinking and understanding.  For some people they don't weigh at all but use their clothes or measurements.

All in all, i think its good for people who are trying to lose weight actively to learn to understand how foods effect them, how exercise and how water effects your body as well as your emotions.

you would be surprised at what you can learn by weighing every day if you aren't just looking to see if the scale has gone down or up.

Status: offline 		I could do that. I suppose it's down to the ingrediants but why do you consider wheat thins junk food? I checked the calories, the carbs, and the sugars, the three biggest things I check for pre packaged things and they're all very acceptible readings. Course I didn't check to see if it had hfcs in it, but if it does they'd maybe be something I didn't eat at all vs rarely.

Of course do what works for you.  However, in TFB's case, I think it would be like the food diary and cause more problems than it solves.  She isn't analytical like you, and if she keeps going the way she is, once a week, for a while anyway, she is going to see larger numbers shining up at her, and that will result in larger desire to continue and try harder.

Status: offline 		Congrats, Tfb! Unfortunately, I think I found it.. and it doubled from when you lost it. (What can I say, each department where I work throws it's own Christmas party, and I've had plates and plates of food thrown in my hands in appreciation every time I come by to fix some electronic gizmo. A six building campus with a total of 28 floors and 50 departments.. Amounts to a LOT of food!)

The weight loss/health thread is definitely a good read, and I hope that being around others who are fighting the same fight will further encourage you and help you in maintaining your goals and health!

Best wishes!
