Have you ever got on the scale and went up 2lbs?? This is SCARY!! What am I doing wrong??

Nothing! through out our day the scale will go up and down..also during our period, what you eat, etc.! I only weigh myself now when I first wake up...have had no food, hardly any clothes, etc. and that is the number I go by (tracking)...so much can make our weight fluctuate during the day...you will drive yourself crazy. So, pick ONE time to weigh and stick to it....and expect to sometimes go up a bit...it will be ok, it WILL go back down Been There Done That! lol...I am 6 months out....down about 56 lbs.

Ok great. Thank you for your advice. I have a schedule that every Thursday I weigh myself when I get up. It is the time of the month to. ????

I've been going up and down 2 lbs for a month now. It is getting tiresome, but it happens. Weight loss is not linear.

Thank you ????

I'm fighting a 5 lb swing - it's scary as hell! But I know what I'm doing wrong & when I get scared, go back to doing what's right.

The tool is there - I have to remind myself to use it sometimes.

I weigh myself once a week, Monday morning, before I get in the shower. That's my official number. It used to drive me crazy when I weighed myself daily, since I would go up and down for seemingly no reason.

Of course, it gets a little awkward at the doctor when I strip completely naked before stepping on the scale...

Hi try not to stress about it. It will happened and always remember when we females are on our cycle that will change so that can also be a factor.

Lol I bet u get some looks.

Weight loss is not a Fluid process. If you put it on a graph, it would look more like steps of stairs than a downward slope...down, up, flat. Fluctuations are normal for the reasons stated above.

Now if you know you haven't been following your plan when your are further out and basically eating too much of the wrong things, then you will know at that point if it's just normal fluctuations or what you've been eating. It's a balancing act of sorts
