Lately (within the last thirty pounds) every time I lose 8-10 pounds I step on the scale one day and am magically 3 pound higher. In the beginning I didn't think much of it - Water, I thought. Except I then have to work as hard to get those 3 pounds off, they don't just come off like water weight.

Someone please tell me this is normal. I'm ten (to 11 or 12) pounds away from goal...so .....close....... :shakes fist violently at universe:

Does 8-10 pounds correlate with about a month? Could it be that time of the month? Hormones are weird.

You know, that could be it

Yup yup. Normal.
