Day 10 & 11 weight gain!?!? Normal?

Yes. Completely normal.

Despite the very sound advice of some people here, I weigh every day. But I really try to take it as no more than an observation or snapshot. For example, today I'm about 1.4 pounds higher than yesterday, and yesterday I was 2 pounds lower than the day before. I have found that my body tends to do this when it is stabilizing around a lower number. Also, my dinner was a little salty last night. (Big whoop.) But in a couple of weeks I will look around and see that I'm 4 or 5 pounds lower than I started before the stabilization pattern. People say their charts look like stair steps; mine looks more like a nondramatic EKG line. But the trend overall (if you plotted it and drew a line) is a downward slope.

Therefore, these day to day fluctuations are no more meaningful than if I woke up with a little zit on the side of my nose, or if my hair didn't quite work. It just is what it is for the day. Because I prefer the consistency of it, I like to record it and then forget it. Some people can't, so if you are one of those, go to weekly weighing.

Hope this helps.
