Water Weight Loss

cjc519 · 10-07-2010, 09:12 AM

Hi! I've been doing Medi since July and as of last week had lost 11.5 lbs... all fat. Today I went and was very excited (and surprised) to have lost 4 more lbs. When I got home and looked at my overall weight loss it showed that 3.5 lbs. of today's weight loss was water. Now I feel discouraged... should I? I have not had any weeks where I've lost water weight, only fat weight. Should I be doing something differnent? Am I likely to gain the 3-4 lbs. back by my next appt? My counselor was very excited when she told me I had lost 4lbs. and she had the readout in front of her, so is it normal????

Discouraged? Nope! I'm not a medical practitioner & we have several nurses here who can better answer your question, BUT... I have also been on Medi since July & I've lost water here & fat there. As far as I'm concerned, pounds are pounds & the real measure is looser clothing ~ do you have that? Congrats to you on your loss!!

Definitely have looser clothing... which is a great feeling! I know, for me, that I get too hung up on the numbers and should focus on how my clothes are fitting. I'll take this weeks #s and be happy! Thanks!
