Ok ladies and gemtlmen. I have a serious question. I am concerned because on 12-4 i weighed in at 288 this was my one month. That was 25lbs in 30 days. I am so excited. I am following the rules and having issues with nausea yet I'm still working through and staying positive. I checked my weight yesterday and it shows an 8lb gain? Could this be accurate? I'm puzzled. I'm interested to know if anyone else experienced such torture lol. In remaining positive and keep telling myself it's water.

Yep.....totally normal. Hormones...water.....they are evil buggers! I am almost 4 mths out and I have "gained" weight 3 times. 5lbs was the most. But I follow the diet guidelines to a T so I know its just my body shifting around. As soon as I notice a gain I stay off the scale for a full week. It goes away. The first gain I mentioned it to my doctor and they assured me it was just normal body fluctuations and advised I stay off the scales. I am down 57lbs in 4 mths so its working and it will work for you to! Hang in there!

Totally normal. I'm 2.5 weeks out and 37 lbs down and this morning I got on the scale and was up 4 lbs. we are literally eating tablespoons of food. Unless you are eating straight lard or butter, I don't think it is scientifically possible for us to gain that much weight overnight (or even in a few days, lol). Don't fret! I'm just going to stay off the scale for a few days and be sure I'm getting all my water in. Bodies are weird!!! Good luck ❤️

Thank you for the response! I was starting to think I had really messed up gaining weight when I'm hardly eating anything was crazy!

I have been working out 4 days a week and this week have gained 2 pounds!???
