    Wait, what? One pound???

    My weight varies by up to three pounds daily for no apparent reason at all. On days after I bump up my calories a little, it has been as much as six pounds.

    Up one pound is not really an increase at all. Up a few pounds over a longer period of time, say a couple of weeks? Okay, then you *might* have a problem you need to address...but one pound? Nope. Back to work.

    Hormonal changes, or salty foods, or you haven't pooped yet.
    You should see my monthly weight graphs, it's like the wave :)

    See those last 2 dots? That was yesterday and this morning, yesterday was 166,6 lbs, today was 162,5 lbs.

    This is awesome. Did you create it in Excel?

    I gained about 4lbs but I know its water weight from eating carbs. Don't worry about it. It will come off. Consider this. I have a friend that if she even eats something she shouldn't it takes her body weeks to recover. So consider the lb a blessing. Your weight fluctuates anyway.

    I lost 30, gained back 20. I'm back down 18 now... suck it up, Buttercup. :wink: All you have to do is keep going. Don't let one "bad day" turn into 6 months of bad days. You're just fine! :smile:

    Gracious, woman, you just joined last month. Be more patient with it all. Losing weight takes time unless you're willing to chainsaw off a leg. Be diligent, be patient, be optimistic. You will reach your goals, but you'll have to deal with a couple gained pounds every once in a while. We all have, so you're in good company.


    ^^^ THIS!

    So you ate like 5000+ calories in a day? Impressive :D

    If not... no you didn't gain a pound back in a day, so chill.

    I thought this a joke when I clicked on it. Was waiting on the punch line until I realized you were serious.

    Be patient. Your weight is going to change every day. Doesn't mean you've lost or gained. If you keep this up, you're gonna have a bad time. Start taking measurements right away and mark your progress that way.

    If you are going to get this upset over one little pound....you are going to have one really long hard bumpy road ahead of you.

    Yeah, this too. ^^

    Mhmm :indifferent:

    Oh stop. It's just water retention due to the sodium in your cheat day. Increase your water intake you'll pee it out in a couple of days.

    It's only a pound! No worries! Just lose it back :)

    You're bound to gain and lose weight while you eat healthier and exercise! who knows, maybe that pound is a pound of muscle you earned! :) Keep it up!

    Here's some perspective. This first chart shows my weight for the first two months or so after I decided to get my weight under control. I weigh every day because I love data.

    And here's my weight loss after just about a year:

    Those fluctuations I was seeing every day don't matter as much when you're looking at the long-term trend!

    My weight goes up and down 5 pounds during the course of a day. Don't let a pound or two worry you. Get back on track and just keeping going forward. Some days you will be up and other days you will be down. Just keep plugging forward and slowly lose the weight. It will come off eventually and it will be a life style change not a diet. It will be easier to keep it off that way.

    Good to know I am not the only one with such high flex of weight. anywhere from 2-5 lbs

    Shame Hon..are you feeling better? I've been there too...only been doing it since march even though I only joined MFP today. Over the weekend I 'gained' the 2.6kgs I had lost over the last 3 weeks and I was really upset about all the chocolates and cold drinks I had. Then I did some research and realized it wasn't fat that I gained - like the pp's said, its just water weight, and I am already experiencing the 'whoosh-effect'. Great feeling for someone who gets motivated by a decrease in numbers on the scale - now, I know this is where ppl want to gain, but im just offering support to this poor girl. I know what it feels like, so don't be your own worst enemy hon..:flowerforyou:

    1 pound of fluctuation isn't a blip on the radar. This reminds me of a children's story, now run in circles screaming, The Sky is falling, The Sky is Falling. LMAO...

    But on a serious note, run in those circles for 30 minutes flapping your arms and that pound (and others) will disappear............

    You gained one small pound and think YOU have a problem? Get realistic! Live doesn't live or die by one little pound. As you grow up, you will find many things in life that ARE important and matter. One pound isn't crap! Learn some ability to cope and deal with things in life. This will help put just one measly pound in better perspective.
