What the hell

Maybe this is what you mean by not using the scale...Wed I'm at the doctors office and weigh in at 222 lbs..I come home and go into my weightroom where I have a prossional dr's scale and weigh the same..Now I have been on a cut for sometime, about 4-5 months of slow cutting..Since Wed I have kept my diet constant eating the samething day after day, skipped one meal last night drinking the same amount of water...How is it possible that just a few minutes ago I weighed in at 223 lbs. Now at 57 yrs of age this has never happened to me before and believe me over the past 35 yrs of ups and downs I have been as high as 340 lbs and as low as I was wed at 222 lbs.

What weight were you expecting?

Wait am I reading this wrong or are you confused over a single pound differentiation?

I'm guessing here, but since you skipped a meal, your body stored some of the fat it would usually burn at night. Like a sumo wrestler only eats one meal a day and it is extremely high in fats and carbs. Then they fast until the next huge meal. Just a thought.

Sumo wrestlers aren't fat because they eat once a day, they are fat because they eat a ton. Neither are they fat because they mix fats and carbs.

The weight difference is just water most likely. Could be many reasons for this.
