Re: whooshies?
A whooshie is when the scale goes down several pounds overnight. Basically, the weight whooshes off/out of you. You'll see people wanting a visit from the whooshie fairy which means they want that scale to MOVE, not a little, but 2 or 3 or more pounds.
I hope that makes sense.Kristine

Re: whooshies?
Sudden overnight weight loss of a significan amount. It falls off with a whoosh I suppose. I have heard that you need a fairy to make this happen
Anyone seen that fairy around?

Re: whooshies?
BTW, I'm hoping for a visit from the whooshie fairy! I haven't lost anything in the last week despite eating well, drinking lots of water, and exercising almost every day!Kristine

Re: whooshies?
Well it sounds like you've been a good girl Clogger. I think that fairy will come!
(Are you measuring - you've stepped up exercise so there may be some muscle coming and also a bit of water retention in the beginning - once the body is used to the fact that you ARE going to lift those weights everyday it will say - "this is normal no reason to hold on to water for panic" and you will whoosh. I think so.)Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: whooshies?
I don't know how often you change your exercise routine, but this helps me a lot. I had not lost in about 10 days, then I started doing free weight squats and the weight started melting off. I also changed my cardio as well. Coincidence?Originally posted by clogger View PostbigROB

Re: whooshies?
Changing exercise routines help with your exercise goals too. Should never keep on doing the same thing over and over again. I mean unless it is something that gives you a lot of pleasure like walking the dog or shopping.

Re: whooshies?
Last night I got a visit from the whooshie fairy
and her magic wand
! The scale FINALLY moved down three pounds this morning. Was it the hard work that finally paid off? Was it the hamburger pie (supposedly a whooshie food) I had yesterday? Was it water weight (men skip this) b/c TOM came this morning? Who knows, but I'm just glad the scale finally moved after 10 days ! Yipee !
