The Taylor scale works by Bioimpedance. Basically it sends an eletrical signal through your body. It can only travel where there is water, and there is only one tissue type that can not hold water. Fat. So the greater your lean mass, the greater your water. but you could also see a water % rise , because of TOM, Salt intake...etc. my water is usually 36-40. It goes up to 42 around TOM.

Mine is very skittish. Lately, I've been focusing on the trends and patterns, so this post couldn't have happened at a better time! Lessee... I lose 1-1.5 lbs every week. The day after I see my new low weight, my weight bounces back to a high. For instance, yesterday was my new low of 152.3. Today, I am 153.8, a weight I haven't seen in 2 weeks. Next week, it will go to maybe 152, but then bounce up again. This also depends on...

You say you ate X calories and used X calories, so you have lost .25 pounds. Is this really showing up on the scale every day? I have always been curious about that whole idea. If you over eat, how long does it take to show up on the scale (and your butt ) That's a good question! when im not...

It sounds like you're working really hard to get it under control! I have the exact same problems.. my bf is VERY supportive, but he eats a lot of foods that i LOVE & sometimes its really hard to resist.. especially on the weekends when he's home all day (which i love, i just hate knowing its gonna be a battle between what i should eat or what i COULD eat). In fact, i just had to start fresh (again) on monday. I think...

HI TEAM ~ Well just to let you all know...I am not losing any weight with this limited activity Not exactly trying though either I eat the same as if I worked all day...thank goodness I am not a snacker! Angie and I tried to get some miles in at the beach yesterday but my incisions didn't help out We had hoped to get 3+ miles in but I made it only a little over 2. We did have a great day though, had a super carne asada burrito at the...

Quote: I need to start journaling my WW points again, I need to STOP saying "oh it's just one meal....I've already lost the weight if I gain back a bit of it I can lose it again"....because that's NOT cool... Yes. Yes. And more yes. That's what you've got to do! You DO need to get back on track - so do so. It's a great place to be! Just hop right back on. Healthy eating begets more healthy...

Dinky, I'm so proud of you! We have very similar stats, and it's cool to someone around my figure being so motivated and doing so well. You sound very happy, and I think that happiness and satisfaction with the slow weight loss will keep you committed to the cause! You are so sensible; and that's awesome. When I weighed in at 250.9 lbs, I almost immediately thought of types of diets where you can lose 20 pounds in 20 days. I...

Thanks for the info on the heartrate monitors and pedometers. That's so interesting. I'm a number cruncher, too, so maybe one day I will get me one. I have another question. This is about rest days from exercise. Someone here mentioned about working out for three days and then taking a day off. I am a member of VF and people talk about having a rest day, but there is no particular explanation of how often, etc. I looked on my...

If someone is venting, then I don't think that gives them a free pass to say whatever they want. I'd also...

wannabe- I didn't take your comments in any way negative. They just made me think, that's all. l was just kind of thinking out loud. Thanks again everyone for your input! It is very appreciated.
