    Don't get discouraged -- I have found that scales lie!

    You typically weigh in around 12:00, and this weight was taken around 5:00 -- you very easily could have gained water weight in that time. I am a constant weigher -- I can fluctuate between 2-5 pounds during the day, just from water.

    Last week, I kept gaining as well -- couldn't figure it out -- thought I was doing the right things, but the scale kept climbing. My Wii Fit kept asking me questions why? Unfortunately, there is no "I don't know, so just back off" button! I ended up coming back down, but it was SO frustrating!

    Keep up the good work -- and remember that the scale is just one number. (and remind me of that later, as I am starting to plateau).

    All of my sugars are coming from things like carrots, my fruits, etc. I don't eat anything sweet. As for my sodium, I can drop that, but I don't think my 4 pounds are water related, not all of it, anyway.

    If I drop my fruits and nuts because of the fat and sugar content, and the sodium, I just don't know what to eat. I don't want the third snack in the first place, just trying to use up my calories.

    Maybe I just don't understand thia whole thing. Maybe I just need a structured diet. But then I can't find half the things on it in this littlel podunk town.

    Crap.
