    Once you start losing weight consistently, you will look forward to weigh-in day so you can celebrate your success!

    Here's the thing about weigh-ins -- your natural weight fluctuation is about two or three pounds over the course of a day. Drink a tall glass of water? You just gained one pound.

    Secondly, scales only tell weight. A scale can't tell the difference between a pound of lead and a pound of wood. Similarly, it can't tell the difference between a pound of fat and a pound of muscle. So some people don't lose "weight" even though they are losing fat.

    So don't freak out if you have gained a couple of pounds. It may be just natural fluctuations. Instead, focus on the positive lifestyle changes you made.
