Maya, sometimes it can be like that- scales can't be 100% accurate all the time, and there are SO many variables to you weight at any given time. What you ate that day, how much exercise you got, how much fluids are in you (matters a lot), where you are in your cycle, it's really annoying. My scale is frequently schizo, as well. I suggest weighing yourself only in the morning, on the same day every week, before you've even had a tea. That way, there is less of an opportunity for error.
Ok, so like Maya, I've only just joined in here, at the urging of a couple of you on her thread earlier in the week. I've just weighed myself to see where I am, and it's about 2 or 3 pounds more than I expected, and about 6 or 7 more than where I'd like to be. I think I'll start with the goal of losing 6 pounds, then re-group and see how I feel at that weight. I know it's a small number, but I'm anticipating a lot of difficulty getting there, as my body has been at this weight for a few years now.
I've battling a nasty virus since Monday, and after the first day of having no appetite/no being able to keep things down, I've just been snacking loads. I also haven't been feeling well enough to run or work out, and I just have zero willpower when under the weather. Ok, but that stops now- I'm going to watch my portion sizes and try to reach for fruits and veggies when I get the snacking urge. I have to work this afternoon, so at least I'll be on my feet for 7 hours today, too.
