It is a good thing that my scale not only shows weight loss but also fat and water percentages of the body and other stuff too. Else I would be now distraut. My weight has again gone up by almost 1/2 pound.
With other words, since about 4 days I am making – weight wise – a little Yo-Yo dance between the same numbers. So apparently I am not losing any weight. But, as mentioned in earlier posts, I was always a bit weary of the fast weight loss because my body fat percentage did not budge, not at all. That should have gone down too. Several percents even. But it didn’t. Usually it goes like this for me on my scale:
- If I lose weight but BF goes high, I know that it’s more water than usual and that my weight inevitably will go up again and the BF number drop.
- If I don’t lose weight and the BF goes down I know I have too little water and need to hydrate better.
- Correct thing is that weight and BF needs to go lower in ‘harmony’.
Losing 12 pounds with the BF staying put, I knew that this will at some point counter-balance. That point is now. As frustrating it is, at the same time it is relieving as now I see the FAT that I have lost on the scale: 2.7% by this morning. The body fat percentage the scale showed today is what I would expect it to be around my current weight. I’ve never been this low with this scale so I am not sure. Will see how it evens out over the next few days.
And I do hope to lose weight again soon – it is an incredible motivation booster.
