Hi,

I have been on MFP and Insanity Asylum for about 17 days now. For the first 12-13 days, I seemed to have lost 4kgs/8.8lbs and then in the next 3-4 days I seemed to have gained 1kg/2.2 lbs back.

Both the loss and gain seem very much out of place to me. I must also say my eating pattern on day 14-16 was very erratic and all over. The main concern is due to the fact that in the last 4 days my weight moved up from 77.5 (170.8) to 79.1 (174.4) to 78 (172) to 78.2 (172.4) and now 78.6 (173.3) .

I am not sure if this is good/bad/correct/wrong ... please advice!

    How are you measuring? If you are measuring via scale, add a bit of leeway as the scales show fluctuations in water weight which varies day to day as well as what time you measure and other factors....

    Thank you! I am measuring using the scales ... everyday roughly at the same time after the same set of activities.. For the first 12 days there was a consistent decline in weight... I also was very deligent in my eating ... last couple of days have been everywhere - food and the weight!

    In your case, I wouldn't suspect too much at the moment because the fluctuations are only minor :) Take measurements every couple of weeks and you will see bigger changes which will reflect on which way you are truly heading! With scales, fluctuations between .5kg> I usually take with a pinch of salt.
