If you are two pounds from your goal weight, you won't be able to drop it in a week. Chill and give yourself a month- aim to lose 1/2 lb a week.

Also measure yourself. Track your measures, not your weight at this point. If you haven't loss strength, your measurements have decreased and your weight comes up it is muscle & healthy weight.

Also, stop killing your legs. A day in between leg work outs, dear.

Maintenance range is around 2-3 lbs. If you're staying in that range, I wouldn't worry. Weight fluctuates. That's always going to be a fact. Why are you so fixated on a number?

I always bounce around a 5 pound range and I'm 5'3". It's completely normal because it's water weight which is not constant. 2-3 pounds is nothing and is probably just water, is there a reason you're so desperate to lose them? They aren't going to make a real difference in how your clothes fit or you look.

Deep breaths. You'll get there eventually. Stick with it and keep eating at the appropriate calorie intake.

I was 143 yesterday and 141 this morning. It just happens. Keep track of your sodium intake, as too much can cause bloating and water retention, which will make your weight fluctuate pretty wildly.

Yeah I get hung up these number too. I feel like as long as I'm working out and eating ok, then it's fine.

It's all good. Don't fuss!

Maybe think about stepping away from the scale for a while. Worrying about one or two pounds is not healthy. If you are already in a healthy weight range then you're fine.

If you want to lose the two pounds because you want to look different, then I suggest focus on muscle building and you will look better even if you gain some weight.

I totally agree with 'Toad' on this one. I've been known to drop over a pound just doing my morning 'routine.' Also, if I had the choice to scrutinize either diet or workout routine, it would be diet. My personal experience is that losing weight is 80% diet (nutrition & caloric intake). My two cents..

Diary closed.

Nothing we can do.

If you're drinking pop, switching to water might help. If I drink pop instead of soda, I will add at least 1.5 pounds.

Weight fluctuates, too. Don't forget that.

I lost a 1.5lbs one day just from having a poop and a pee. No joke.
