Who Yo-Yo diets still

My weight is up and down like a yo-yo. Down 1, up 2, down 2, up 3. Is there anyone else out there that goes through the same thing?

That is not my definition of yo-yo dieting. A few pounds variance is nothing more than water retention fluctuating. Yo-yo would be lose 15 gain 20, lose 20 gain 5 etc.

The same thing happens with me. I want to know how one day I get on the scale and it shows I am down two pounds, then the next day I am up 2 lbs ....it gets frustrating especially when I have been following all the rules!

I agree, if you're down and up 30lb, that's yo yoing. My loss isnt constant but I have never regained so much as a pound that I've lost. I credit all the running I do for that - exercise is brilliant at helping you to maintain lost weight.

+1 to everyone who said 5 pounds either way doesn't mean a thing.

Weigh yourself less often, like once every other week or once a month and this "non-yo-yo-ing" won't be as noticeable. :)
