Fluctuations

I recall that, at the beginning, fluctuations were considered very common. But lately I've been a pretty consistent loser until the last week or so when I upped my exercise and have actually gained 2 lbs. Is it still common to fluctuate this far out (2/20/07 surgery date)? Jen

I have done the same thing! I upped my exercize and have gained 3 pounds. I hope it is just muscle...and that the weight drops again. I had surgery February 2. Shelley Johnson

Yes this is very normal. If you are exercising more you are building muscle which weighs more than fat! Great job! Tammy

I'm a slow loser but when I gain, I tend to freak! I have realized that the same week I gain a little, I realize that I can see that my clothes fit looser. I am also experiencing a small gain (1lb) this week! 2/19/2007

Wow, We are all together.. LOL! I get so sick of hearing it or saying it MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT LADIES! Like to know of anyone who hasn't done this. ??? I think we are the norm! Wish you the best on continued sucess, keep on going gals. Hugs, Judy R
