Weight Fluctuation

Has anyone experienced weight fluctuation when transitioning to full diet? I'm 6 weeks in and I've gained a couple of pounds instead of losing. Plus I've incorporated walking in my weekly routine. So I'm thinking this is normal right?

  • One thing I have chosen to do is weighing weekly initially to take away these fluctuation angst and when close to goal, weigh more frequently to get prepared for maintenance. I've read enough on this

  • It hard not to weigh in daily. I was keeping a daily journal of my weight and bmi which was for my doctors visits. But since I'm past my 5 weeks i don't go back for 2 months. I think weekly may work

I hope the veterans are able to calm your mind. Thanks as always for your insight orchids and dragon ???

So true...I am a 'daily weigher' and I really need to have my husband hide the scale (yes, this would actually help) and only bring it out once a week.

The most I've been able to go without weighing is 2 days.

Yes. This weight fluctuation is very normal. I was weighing daily, however it created much anxiety for me. My husband suggested trying once a week so I tried that. Much better for me but everyone is different.
