Oh no! Weight gain!!!

I know everyone complains about stalling sometimes.  I had one early on, but since I've been losing an average of 2 lbs a week.  Slow, I know, but for me still pretty good.  But today I weigh a pound more than I did yesterday!  That just shattered my happiness for the day.  Yes, I'm being overdramatic a little bit.  But really, I didn't know how much of a dissapointment I would feel at gaining a pound.  Does this happen to everyone, or am I just darned lucky?

((((HUGS)))) That's why I don't weigh but once a week. One day I weighed after weighing the day before and it showed a 2 pound weight gain. I was soooooooooooooooo depressed the whole day. Weight fluctuates so much day to day. It's going to be okay though, Rita

Your weight fluctuates from day to day based on what you ate the day before and hydration, and other reasons.  Don't freak!  You know there is no way you really gained a pound of fat over night.  I have literally "closed" my scale by putting a plastic bag over it!  Everytime I walked by it it called me name so I put it in the dark!

Okay, you always hear not to weigh every day...but I can't seem NOT to weigh at least every other day.  I agree with everyone else...don't get depressed and don't panic!!! I have stayed the same weight for two weeks straight and then dropped 5 pounds and then I have lost a pound a day and then I have not lost but gained 2 pounds....the body is a weird amazing machine and who can figure it out????  I have to tell myself not to get depressed and to think of the sucess I have had.  I have lost over 90 pounds.  I have NEVER done that before!!  Don't miss the forest for the trees....especially those one pound gained trees!

Thanks for your encouragement, everyone.  I hope that I can get used to all this and won't freak out every time the number creeps up on the scale.  I know I shouldn't weigh every day, but that scale yells out my name!  I've even asked my husband to keep it in his work truck during the week, but he keeps forgetting.  Maybe after he's dealt with me all day today, he'll remember tomorrow. :)  Have a great night.  Hope you're keeping your foot up, Rita! 

You need one of us to keep that scale for you??? ha ha...  Don't be discouraged,  the others are right on....weight changes almost hourly.  You're still doing great!  Wendy

Well, I woke up this morning, and my husband is already at work.  And the evil scale is still in my kitchen!  Of course I had to step on it, and that pound is still there.  I guess I should come up with a plan B and maybe just get rid of it and weigh somewhere else once a week.  Of course, it might be a little funny to go somewhere else and weigh wearing almost nothing!  I guess whether I step on the scale every day or not, I will try to only count the number the scale says on Sundays.  Hopefully that pound (and some more too!) will be gone by then.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!
