:shocked: Shock Shock Horror - the sheer thought of having something in common with Matsumoto Jun :say_no:
I know the feeling though - I think MatsuJun uses the same brand of tweezers ;) :mrgreen:

I think MatsuJun weighs about the same as my left leg :P (the right leg is heavier)

Yes 4, 5 pounds is normal - your body sometimes stores liquids, which you lose quickly. :mrgreen:
Check your weight only once a week or every two weeks - to get a better picture.

Are your ankles swelling? :beaten:

I typically step on the scale in our shipping/receiving area once a day and I only notice a 1-2 pound fluctuation...

Oh yeah... Taking in calories is a whole lot easier than burning them off. :sweat:

If you are losing a pound a day, then you will never be successful in your attempts to lose weight. It's also the reason why you are gaining it so quickly.

There is no shortcut to weight loss. The secret of weight loss lies in two things: Eating healthy, and exercise.

Everything is about balance. Losing weight is not easy. I can tell you this though, diets only provide short term results. If you want something that will last, change your lifestyle.

Nothing comes easy in life. The "quick fix" approach is just temporary. Losing weight is a lot of work, but you will reap the rewards.

Is a pound a day that bad?

That's 30 pounds a month... Nothing to laugh at.

Unless you weigh 300+ pounds. :sweat:

A pound a day is a lot!

There's 3500 calories in one pound. The average person needs roughly about 2200-2500 calories. (This depends on gender; height; age, etc) Losing more than you're consuming is definitely unhealthy.

Unless it's one pound of water. ;)

Losing more than you're consuming is definitely unhealthy.

Ahh, I gotcha. :victory:

ditto. If you are losing too much, it's has bad as not enough. Like losing water and muscles. IIRC, Muscles burn a lot of calories a day. If you lose muscle mass, you will actually slow down the fat loss.

Little tip, if you want to know your real weight, everyday. Check your weight at the same time, everyday. Like when you just wake up. Clothes and food can make you think you gain weight. ;)

Crap. I didn't know it would be that far. At that time, the rat fur will be coming out of my ears and will be the ero jiji in the series. :sweat:

I've heard a pound a week is considered outstanding. Remember, too much and your body thinks something is wrong, therefore putting you into "save-your-ass" mode where you'll likely eat and retain more. Like uhno said, losing and keeping weight off has to be a lifestyle thing unless you feel like periodic lyposuctions.
