    I gain all of the time. Just less than I lose. If you saw a weight loss chart by days, it would zig zag up and down, up and down in a gradual decline over time. Nothing unusual.

Calm down! 2 lbs can be nothing more than temporary water weight gain. Wait a couple of days and it will go back down.

just remember the scale is just a tool to measure by. it surely can go up and down according to water gain or loss so just keep up the good work and the 2 pounds (of probably water) will be gone before you know it!

Many factors: exercise, sodium/potassium levels, water consumption, stress, phase of the moon, (ok, not the phase of the moon, that has more to do with beard growth :unsure: ), contribute to the scale report.

The scale is a superficial observer, never delving into the heart, probably like many of the slime guys you ladies have known. B)

Thanks for the support y'all. I just haven't been in a very good place and I'm frustrated. I have been unable to exercise due to an injury and I'm like a hawk with the scale as a result. Ugh! I'll try to remain calm!!! :)

You weigh less at 4 am then you do at noon, it is perfectly normal for a person (sleeved or not) to fluctuate everyday through out the day, and have patterns in a month. They say never weigh yourself everyday, but once a week, so you can see the overall progress.
