My scale has said I've gained a pound a day for the last 3 days. I'm still being really strict with my calories so I don't understand. Do you think I could be gaining a pound a day or it might be my scale? It's discouraging either way! :noway:

    Is it around that time of the month? I know I gain a chunk of water weight at that time.
  • sure does suck being a woman at that time! First nature isn't fair. We already are struggling with our weights and then we get that. Not fair, not fair. Just once would I love for a guy to have his pants not fit because he's gain a little water. lol :laugh:

    Do you wear the same thing when you weigh yourself? And at the same time of day? I weigh more towards the end of the day. And if you eat heavier one night it can make the scale higher the next day. You also may be gaining muscle. I wouldn't worry about it too much yet. :bigsmile: You'll lose. Just give your body some time.

    Not that time of the month. :laugh: And I always weight in the morning wearing the same thing. The thing that is frustrating is that the scale is only about 3 weeks old.

    Thanks for all the encouragement :flowerforyou:
