I've lost 91 pounds needed to loose 130 pounds so I've got about 40 more to go but to step on the scale and see 2 extra oh no!!! Any suggestions???

Have you changed your workout routine? Perhaps you are building muscle?

Peanuts are very calorie dense. Maybe you should save them for maintenance? I definitely haven't added them back into my diet yet.

As tedious as it sounds, you really should (if you are not already) log your daily food intake. That way, when weight gain happens, you can look at your diet for the past few days and identify the problem.

Good luck.

I have lost 102 pounds with about 20 to go. scale has moved up and down the month of dec. finally down again. If you have had any fast food that will do it or high salt foods. Hang in there.

It's those dreaded peanuts... It retains Water because of the salt content which will increase your body weight. I love peanuts and notice ever time I ate them the scales don't move or go up. I have now replaced them for now 20g of cashew nuts when I want peanuts and guest what the scales start moving again.

I would kiss peanuts goodbye for now and save them for maintenance.

Good luck.
