Are you kidding me? Weigh myself at night? After drinking over 100 oz of water a day? I couldn't do it. I am not that much of a masochist!

I've done it before and have weighed up to 8 pounds more than what I do the next morning. But I was an obsessive water drinker-which probably explains why I kept getting up all night!

[lifelovinaries]

Why, oh why, oh why did i let kym talk me into weighing myself at night? Well she didn't really talk me into it but more or less peaked my curiosity. So i stepped on the scale tonight and weighed 221.1, one pound less than i did this morning. Here's where i come to the UNFORTUNATE part... it is 10:40 pm, i have gotten in 9 cups of water, i just finished a meal a about 10:00 but i still have 3 more meals to go. Long story... This hasn't been a great MF day (haven't eaten off plan, just haven't gotten everything in), or a great day at all for that matter. Trying to look on the bright side, i hope my weight is even less in the morning. I still want to get in all my meals as well as at least 3 more cups of water. <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_11_1.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D4%252F4_11_1/image.gif">

kym, charity, c, biks, thanks for stoppin in and supporting me. You guys all keep me going. Guys, just to let you know, i have a competitive spirit by nature so if you see me comparing myself to you (hehehe kym!), it's all out of love and my self-motivation. I am using whatever tactics it's gonna take to get me there! Oh, and charity, you try to up the bar and go 6-0? How dare you!! Dang it, no L&G for me! I'm gonna have to raise my own bar now! Only kidding. I am in a happy place, even when the scale was stuck, i knew it had to move again at SOME TIME! Thanks again guys. But charity, i'm watching you! Kym, i'm watching your dust! C, i REFUSE to wait for you to catch up to me but i'm throwing the rope out to keep us connected! Biks, what can i say...you are WAAAAY too far ahead for me to even see right now but i'm coming for you too!

Hey, OC - lol!

I'm a competitor too!!! I don't mind a healthy race to the finish with you. Whatever works to keep us on plan, focused and running towards the goal!! I'm always looking to see how much folks have lost and how fast. I'll admit my pet peeve is tickers/start dates that aren't 100% reflective of the MF loss. Like a start date of 11/10 with 40 pounds lost - cause the 40 was before MF. Don't go throwing stuff at me! It's just soooo inspirational to see the amount folks have lost on the plan that it frustrates me when the numbers are distorted, so to speak. However, I know everyone is different and should have the ability to have whatever ticker they want...I just want it a different way but it ain't always about me, huh?

FIRST, congrats on the huge loss this morning!!! Best of luck for tomorrow!

I'm sorry that my dysfunctional weighing rubbed off on you. BTW: When i said I did it at night - I meant JUST before bed - not when I still had more to eat/drink, silly.

I will be honest - cause you know I keep it real - there is no way I'd be eating 3 more meals after 10:40. You are brave. I know I'd just live and learn, go to bed and try to do better tomorrow. I know this may not be what MF would tell me to do - but it is, nonetheless, what I would do. I have a hard time with the late night meals. I try to have my last meal around 8ish - - otherwise I hate the full feeling I have at bedtime. Again, prolly against what MF would *tell* you to do but......

Good luck in the morning, OC! I'll see ya at roll call!

Well I am a HUGE competitor so I can't say I won't try to catch you...but I SHOULDN'T catch you...you dig? By the way my name is Carrie. I don't know why I keep putting C... C- Gal is just for Seattle Gal. LOL! Anyhoo, I don't know how anyone weighs themselves at night! I tried to do that back in the Atkins days and it drove me nuts! Weighing in every morning is enough! *although when I do hardcore workouts, I do sneak a second weigh in afterwards* *don't tell anyone*

Good luck with weigh in tomorrow!

Yeah, i know but i was on the fence as to whether i was actually going to eat/drink anymore.

I decided that i would just get my water in...3 more cups. After i had that final shake at about 10:00, by 11:00 i could not imagine drinking another shake. So, oh, well, sorry MF, not tonight. Gotta leave 3 meals on the table. I normally try to get my final meal in by 7 or 8 too to avoid the full, bloated feeling. Hmmm, isn't it funny how you can feel sooo satisfied and full from all these liquids? Before i was able to fill my belly with all kinds of solid foods and now on a majority of days, i find myself trying to FORCE 900-1000 calories. Go figure!

So after working out, do you normally recognize a loss, from all the sweat? Yeah, i am not going to make the nightly weigh-ins a routine, just thought i would try it this time. Then again, with my luck, it might be like crack...one hit and you keep going back. All compliments of kym, the scale dealer!! NOTE: i am not speaking from personal experience, if i were, i don't think i would need MF! LOL!!!

Oh yeah, by the way, you might be stuck with C. You waited too long to give your real name Just ride with it, I have.

You know, since i am sitting here, mind wondering why i haven't gone to bed yet, i realized that i had a couple of people notice (finally) that i was losing weight. I am almost 20# down. I know that people usually don't notice much on me until over 20# because of my build. Either way, a few people have said "oh, i can see your loss, especially in your face" and "your skin looks so clear, you're glowing". Ok, can someone notice the weight loss in my big ass??? Oops am i allowed to say that? How about can someone else notice the loss in my thick thighs? How about my big ole boobies? Are my saddlebags shrinking? Darn it, my face IS fat, and has thinned but since i have a huge head anyway, i need the fat to come from somewhere else also! Well maybe my head won't look so large if it comes from my face first! But then again, if my skin is glowing, maybe i look like a lightbulb! <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_5_25.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D12%252F12_5_25/image.gif"> Why does it seem that the twins are always eager to grow but resist shrinkage? So now, with losing weight, i am going to have to be careful of falling over. Jeez, so much to worry about...a large glowing head, pooping issues, loss of balance. Once again... what's a girl to do. See all you guys in the morn for roll call!

We started at about the same weight although you are taller and my busoms were 50" around. I am down to 10-12 inches lost in my chest depending on what day it is and what bra I am wearing. The sad news to report is that I STOPPED losing weight in my chest months ago but keep on losing in the waist and butt. I wish we could determine where the weight loss comes from-I sure didn't need skinnier chicken legs. Also, consider yourself lucky that people are noticing your weight loss. No one said anything to me until I had lost 60 pounds and it was at a friggen funeral and it was the widower! Nothing like being checked out by some guy whose wife just croaked.

You are funny! Well i hope they eventually deflate. I am going to measure myself again today to check the stats. My upper thighs are big but my calves aren't. As long as i don't look out of proportion when the weight is lost, i will be ok. Besides, i had previously started looking into a breast reduction because of a pesky herniated disc. So, that route will still be an option for me, i'm sure.

Can you believe it???? .3lbs away from the 20# club??? Im not complaining, i am ecstatic with my 3.4 lb loss for the week. I tried to squish out a little more pee then step on the scale again but...NOPE! didn't work. Hopefully by tomorrow, i will be an official 20# club member.

[bikipatra]

At this point I understand oh too well being increments from a goal....

[Out*With*The*Old]

I'm about to pee my pants after reading the last few posts here!

I have to say that normally I DO lose in what my daughter calls the 'boober patch' (lol) but not on MF. I haven't lost a single bit of them! Now what I would really like is or them to shrink back UP - lol - to their prebaby position but I doubt that will happen without the temporary help of Victoria's Secret

OC, congrats on the loss!! You're sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close to the 20# club you'll be there soon!!! I just gave up my seat - - hurry and grab it while it is still warm!!!!

I'm the scale dealer, huh? I am afraid it has become a nightly habit. However, I don't fret over the numbers cause I know they are pretty meaningless. It just gives me a baseline as to what I *think* the morning might hold

[CGal67]

Lively Ovaries,

So you're knocking on the door of the 20 pounders club eh? Looks like I won't catch up with you this time but watch your back girly! I'm tagging along and don't want to be in the back forever!

Seriously though, looks like you'll get there before the next weigh in!! 30 club can't be too far off!

I MADE IT!!! I MADE IT!!! I finally made it into the 20# club!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOO happy, you guys just don't know... I was pissed yesterday because i woke up having gained .8 lbs. But then this morning, i was down 1.7 so i am officially in the 20# club! Hey mike? Will you please do the honors? I wasn't going to ask for membership until 21lbs, just to be sure, but i can't wait!! I'm like a little kid on Christmas.
