    Many apps have a graph of your weight. As long it goes down it is what counts. Ignore day to day fluctuations. I have "happy scale" this is what my graph looks like.8y1qnhvav5s0.png

    No kidding Christine - I moved the scale all over the bathroom trying to get it to tell me something else. My husband is standing out side the door saying "well....well" as I'm moving the scale around saying "hang on - hand on". Lol. I'm laughing now.

    I've got some funny pictures in my head, Especially those who weigh themselves naked, bumbling around in the bathroom with their scale!

    christinev297...I have a specific spot I put my scale in AND I weigh naked...no room for blaming it on the clothes or where the scale is sitting. Any weight gain is ALL ON ME... ;)

    Lol...Every little bit helps...When the scale doesn't say the right thing and you move it all over the bathroom to try to find the sweet spot, have you tried shaving your legs before standing on it again? Not me, but a friend of mine tried this once....

    You're fine, OP. But this is exactly why I weigh myself daily instead of weekly. I think you actually get *more* fluctuation and noise doing it weekly, than by weighing daily and using a running 7-day average. A high reading like the one you just got wouldn't bother you if you had lower readings the day before or the day after.

    Not saying to change to daily if it will drive you crazy :D Just remember that you're in this for the long haul, and that being the case, you'll get to the weight you want if you keep doing what you're doing.

    Good point. I am definitely wrapping my head around this and just moving forward. It's not going to change my focus. Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words !!! I don't usually post and I almost didn't but now I'm glad I did.

    As long as you keep on track, the weight WILL go down! It seems to take longer because, well, it does take longer. But not nearly as long as it took to gain it. Just don't give up. It WILL happen.

    Weigh everyday and record your weight using 'trendline' apps/websites such as www.weightgrapher.com; www.trendweight.com, happy scale for the iphone, Libra for android.

    Quite a few of these can be integrated with MFP or with Fitbit's freely available app (no hardware required) to record weight semi-automatically to more than one location.

    By seeing your trend over time you will hopefully be better able to handle natural water weight fluctuations...
