    Rant away!! I've been doing it more lately and you know what I've noticed? Instead of keeping it all in and gorging myself on bad food, I let it out, have people tell me it's not the end of the world and then I feel better :) Keep on ranting! And don't be discouraged!

    Calm yourself, madam. Micromanaging your weight is a fantastic way to drive yourself crazy. You are going to have to learn to stop worrying about it on a day to day basis, especially if you have a lot to lose. I've lost 70 pounds so far with another 70ish to go. Some weeks I'll seemingly gain a pound or two even when I've been really good on my diet, then stay there until miraculously, two or three weeks later, I'll drop 3 or 4 pounds almost all at once. You can't sweat the day to day changes like this or you'll burn yourself out and fast.

    I thought the initial post was a joke...ranting at all of the posts about intraday fluctuations...

    Focus on the bigger picture; you didn't really gain 1.6 lbs overnight...weight fluctuations are normal.

    I would avoid weighing myself at night, and what's more, I wouldn't weigh myself daily. Cut it down to once a week if you can, 2-3 if you must until you can work your way up to weighing in once a week.

    Water weights 8.34 pounds per gallons, and you should be drinking at least half a gallon a day. If 4 pounds goes in, and four pounds doesn't go out you'll be heavier. That doesn't mean you're fatter, you're just heavier.

    This was the best post i ever read!!!!! LOL My scale goes more than 1.6 between the time i get up in the morning and after my shower. I consciously choose to weigh myself obsessively. And I also know it fluctuates. Usually will only log my weight into mfp once a week. But the scale goes all crazy ups and downs. You should know this after such an incredible loss anyhow. LOL.

    OMG

    I freaking gained a pound in a half WTF!
    I don't even know where the heck this came from last night i stepped on the scale around 10ish and was a little heavier then I should have been and was thinking ok its because i ate a late dinner as i did not get to eat til almost 8 but even then i was thinking it was a little higher then normal

    and i wake up this morning and i had gained 1.6 lbs from yesterday its like WTF
    Yesterday I only went over my calories by 35 calories that is so its definantly not a big deal considering i did my c25k program last night which i burned roughly 150ish calories according to mfp so for that little of a burn i should have not had to eat extra

    seriously i am ticked off about this right now i mean i know it will go away but u know if i have a cheat day or if i go OVER my calories i can understand gaining weight and i will accept it but to actually have a normal day and freaking gain that much weight ticks me the freak off

    RANT OVER

    You need to stop weighing yourself daily as my interpretation of your post is that you've become obsessed with it which can be a huge problem!!!

    As a female you can gain upwards of 10lbs due to your menstrual cycle
