Weight Watchers -- February 2011

[jse107]

Hey, hang in there! Drink more water--maybe you're holding on to some water weight. Was anything different this week with your eating or exercise?


I weighed myself yesterday and then just allowed myself to enjoy the SuperBowl and all the food theat went with it. Totally back on the wagon today. Hopefully I can make it to the gym again this week like I did last week.

What day is your weigh in day, and why did you choose it?

I was thinking I would go to meeting on Saturday mornings, as my DH could watch the kids.

But Tuesday evenings at 7pm sounds better to me for some reason.

omg, I gained.

Its okay. I gained this week too and it was an entire pound. It must just be a sticky week. This week will be way better!

I do Sunday mornings. I started on January 1st, which is a Sunday, so that day just stuck.

Yeah, I do Sunday mornings too. It works out pretty well for me, because I work Saturdays, so most of our family/special event types of things happen on Sundays...*after* I've weighed myself. (And that gives me the whole week to recover from days like yesterday where I used up all my points + 15 of my weekly points because I went to a Pampered Chef party *and* a Super Bowl party in the same day. Sigh.)

Mine is Sunday, just because that's when I joined and it's the beginning of the week. However, I'm thinking of changing it to Thursday. That way the weekend is not part of the weigh-in. KWIM?

I've been weighing in on Monday mornings, but I might change to Thursday or Friday for the same reasons. Mondays are bad enough as it is...

Mine is Sunday, umm, because I started yesterday. But you guys make good points for moving it!

Question - do you keep track of how much water you drink per day? Or make it a point to drink 8 glasses (or whatever the right amount is)?

I drink one cup of tea in the morning (usually...) and the rest is soda. How much does hydration impact weight loss?

[jse107]

From my understanding your body will hold on to water if it's dehydrated, thus increasing the amount of water weight you carry. It's best to drink a lot of water to flush out your body and lower the amount of extra weight you're carrying.

I tend to drink a lot of diet soda too, although I have cut back tremendously. Soda can have hidden sodium--which then increases your dehydration.
