BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb Weekly Monday Weigh-In

Monday weigh-in is here! After my week of juice cleanse I am 122.8lb 17.2% fat 57.6% water 36.8lb muscle - how are you doing?

I'm a bit late in posting this, but this was from Monday 5/6.

My son James was over for the weekend, which always means I eat a little less healthily than usual. We went out for a birthday dinner with my dad and I had a piece of cake.

Also I'm off the juicing cleanse now. So I'm returning a bit towards my typical weight.

So I am at 125.2lb 17.7% fat 57.0% water 37.1lb muscle.

How are you guys doing? Making progress?

I gained 5 pounds between 30 minutes before my surgery and a day after. I thought it was from fluids and wasn't too worried. Now it's still here and I'm thinking--what's that about?

I wouldn't worry about it at all while your body heals. It could easily be holding onto water while it goes through all its healing activities.

Also, if you can, I'd get a scale that measures body fat. That way you can see if you are actually gaining fat, or if it's water or something else. That way you know what's going on.

Thanks Lisa. I think I will get that scale real soon.

Terri -

I've tried a number of the scales over the years so I'll be interested in hearing which one you get, and what you think of it!

I'm looking for mid-price range. Do you have a recommendation?

Terri -

This is the one I have, and I like it immensely. It's incredibly easy to use. Just step on and go, once it's set up.

Eat Smart Scale

Monday weigh-in 125.8lb 17.7% fat 56.8% water 37.5lb muscle - how are you doing this week? Up? Down?

I went up slightly due to a delicious wine dinner I went to on Saturday night. Lots of wine, lots of great food, not exactly the healthiest of nights .

I'm down 1. Haven't bought new scale yet.
