i weighed myself this evening just to see my progress bc i have been working out so hard and eating good but boy ol boy did i get a rude awaken, such a big disappointment (5lbs wt gain), hoping some of that is from the bloatness of my TOM, i am so stupid for doing that

I won't go near a scale at night and definitely not during my TOM. Even though I know I'll weight more at both, it's not worth the mental damage it does seeing those numbers go up.

I weigh myself once a week first thing in the morning. It's best for my mental health

I bet if you weigh in the morning before eating or drinking you will find you weigh much less. I only weigh in the morning, never evening as the weight from drinking fluids and such will make it look like you gained.

I can't see that you did a bad thing. If you have been eating well and exercising, then you are doing all the right things. Sounds like it was just TOM and time of day that have affected the scales.

hang in there and keep up the good work.

thanks ladies, i definitely wont do that again, it is very hard on the mental health, i knew better but did it anyways, when i first started on this journey the weight seemed to drop so easy but now after losing 40lbs i am at a stopping point & have been for several months, i have 5.75cc in my band, i have 40lbs left to loose coming up on my 1yr bandiversary, i just want to hit goal

I never weigh myself in the evening!! I actually did the other night though and I was 5 pounds heavier after eating dinner. Never again!

I have always been bad about weighing. I weigh in the morning and at night. I dont know why!! Ive tried to break myself but cant do it.

Anyway, ive will always weigh about 2 to 3 lbs heavier at night and I will almost always gain 2 to 4 lbs during TOM. And it will take me about week to lose that again. I just finished on monday and I am finally almost down to before I started. its crazy. I feel like I have to start over after every period!! uggg
