I am feeling sooooo frustrated. I have been staying under my calories & exercising almost every day, I've lost 9lbs in 35days & today I am up 2.5lbs, any ideas why or suggestions please? Thanks

    Water weight? Sodium overload? TOM? Building muscle? Normal fluctuations?

    I wouldn't worry too much about 2.5lbs, could just be normal fluctuations, weighing yourself at different times of the day, what clothes you were wearing when you weighed..TOM...sodium...2.5lbs is a really small amount and could be caused by any number of things. Just keep going with what you are doing it will work. I have been at this since January and some weeks I lost, some weeks no change and this week due to a number of factors I am pretty sure I will be up a couple, just keep going you are doing great :)

    sometimes, it sound crazy you might need to eat differently or even more. if you at the gym this can happen it did me.

    Did you weigh yourself at the same time as before? Have you eaten anything before you weighed yourself that would be considered a heavy food? Ya never know!!

    I'm ususally only under my calories by 200-300 and sometimes only like 50. I do feel kinda of bloated like it might be water weight or too much sodium. I did have a large sodium intake the past couple of days. Thanks for all the advice & encouragement!!

    It could be water, especially if it's close to that special time of the month. I will say though that 200-300 calories below on a regular basis is a lot. I'd suggest trying to stay within 50 in either direction.
