I was reading this morning about small weight gains the day after you have an extra hard workout (like crazy kettlebells) due to water retention. Maybe the number is lower than showing due to that.
I have heard things like that as well. It hurts my legs to sit down or stand up today. So i’ll run with that!!

I was also down 1.7 pounds more Wednesday 😫. That’s okay, my new scale arrive yesterday and I also was able to get a couple strength sesssions in this week. My goal for this weekend is to continue with healthy food choices Hopefully my next weeks weigh will continue to go down!!!
@mikea2g, congratulations on your success so for in your weight loss, yay!
@PhatStax69, I’ve had the same problem the last few weeks. Starting out the week doing everything right and having one bad day. On the bright side you did have 5 excellent days. Plus you were about to jump right back on the horse, that a biggg win in my books.
@aminor55, hopefully you can kick this cold soon,

I started my journey Oct 2017 at 298.5 and currently (after Xmas celebrations sit at 213.75). My goal is 165 and I want to reach that this summer. I'm 5'11 so can carry it quite well and as I get closer to my goal this may well change, I have been overweight for 15 years maybe so it's hard to tell.

I always love how you put things in perspective, Tracie! You may be up from enjoying the holidays immensely, but you are still down 84.75 pounds!! And you will be down more next week, seeing as the holidays are, mercifully, over!!2 -

Nothing. Although I did weigh myself Wednesday to see the NYE/NYD damage and I did lose that extra weight over two days. So I guess that is a (very) small win
Yes, it is a win to lose the NYE/NYD weight, and not a small one in my books! Mike is right, it could just be water retention after you crushed your kettle bell workout!!2 -

Weighing in weekly has definitely shown me that weight loss is not linear.
Hoping I can kick this cold within the next week. I miss running.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
You may have a cold that has kept you from running this week, but the number on the scales should more than make up for that!! Well done!!1 -

Yep, it's called DOMS @erikNJ so if you are feeling sore after a workout day, chances are it's because you have 'ripped or tore small muscle fibers, which is completely normal (it's nothing major, just needs a rest day and protein to help with the repair). It's a small damage due to growth of muscles which is why you feel so sore after a strenuous strength session. Next to water retention, some people can report up to a 6 pound gain, all due to the inflammation of the muscle as it heals. So it isn't a surprise you can go from a reported loss of weight to a gain or maintain after hitting the gym hard3 -

Down 1.3 this week. I was down to 245 on Wednesday morning. This happened last week as well. Down to 245 mid week then have a fluctuation up on weigh in day. It seems to be some new magical resistance number for me. It’s just a matter of time and continued effort.
On the NSV side:
* my shorts size has gone from xxl to large. I tried on some large shorts I accidentally ordered a few months ago and holy cow they fit!
* My shirts have moved comfortably into my xlt size from squeezing into xxlt.
* My wedding ring no longer fits.
* I have to change the seat position in my car because my butt is smaller
* I can safely use items with a 250 pound weight limit
Ok, I feel MUCH better about weight fluctuations after listing those NSVs
Nice loss this week, even if you thought it could have/should have been more! Way to put things into perspective by listing all your great NSV's to date. all but the wedding ring! As a married person myself, I can tell you that you cannot list not fitting into your wedding ring as a victory of any kind!!! (If you don't believe me, just ask your wife!)2 -

I had 5 really good days, one horrible day, and one so so day. Its a little upsetting because I at flawless for 5 days in a row, nothing but whole foods, and then I feel off. I will try better this week.
It is still down almost a pound, so take heart in that accomplishment!! Like you said, you will just try to do better this week!0 -

You may be bad at remembering your previous weight, but that's only because it changes every week, and in the good way! Down three pounds this week, Sara! Well done!!2 -
