    Absolutely never weigh yourself the day after a cheat day. Give it at least 2 days, preferrably 3.

    Weight can fluctuate 2/3lbs in a day! It is fine, do not stress, and just get on with it.

    Ummmmmmm...

    You do know that women's bodies naturally fluctuate up to 8 pounds in one day, right? It doesn't mean you're a failure, it doesn't mean it's fat. In fact, unless you ate 3,500 calories (the number of calories in a pound of fat) over what you are burning in a day, it is scientifically and thermodynamically impossible to have gained a pound of fat in one day. Cool it, yo. You're good. Focus more on strength, endurance and measurement improvements, don't get hysterical over the scale, it lies anyway.

    I have weight fluctuations around menstruation, the body changes it holds onto water.
    If I had the same emotions towards that fluctuations as you I'd be even MORE of a mess every month!! Im not sure my family would cope!
    So maybe put away the scale for awhile until you develop a more healthy relationship with it :flowerforyou:

    Weigh less often if these fluctuations are going to worry you. If you only weigh fortnightly you should always see a loss!

    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 :)

    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.

    :flowerforyou:
