I've always thought people who weigh themselves daily are nuts. That seems like too much pressure to me, and you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Up until this week, I had only been tracking my waist size, which is something you only notice gradually.
Many times I've mentioned that I lift weights, which also makes body weight irrelevant. If I gain 5 pounds, how much of that is lean mass and how much is fat? I also know from previous weight loss efforts that when I'm losing and lifting, I typically gain one pound of lean mass per three pounds of body weight lost (for a total fat loss of four pounds).
Because of the weightlifting, I've been on a different path than almost everyone else here. On lifting days, I eat 7 times (plus, which I will explain in a moment). It's like being a Hobbit, always eating. It's like a second job.
I've been wanting to take things to the next level. In the past three months, I've gone low carb high fat. I've eliminated all soy and sugar in addition to wheat and grains.
Since I started this journey, I've only weighed myself once, and it was either in August or September. In order to take things to the next level, I was going to track blood glucose and body fat. So I got a body fat measuring device, and to punch the right numbers in, I weighed myself again yesterday.
Despite all the eating, since my last weight measurement... down FIFTEEN pounds. In less than 3 months, and this on top of the 4000+ calories I ingest daily.
The low carb, high fat thing works.
