my scale is jealous of me.

so since the start of january I've lost 7-8lbs. I think my scale got jealous of me though, because yesterday I weighed 153 and now today I weigh 158. I almost regained EVERYTHING I lost, in the span of 12 hours. :explode: rawrrrrr!!!

NO YOU DIDN'T!!!

Just wanted to get that off my chest. There are many possible reasons for this but just know that you didn't consume 10500 calories in 1 day (not including your daily goal)!!!

I'm curious, when do you weigh yourself? When you first wake up, after breakfast, before you go to bed?

I know I didn't. xD I weigh myself in the morning when I get up... my cat likes to sit on my scale however, so I'm chalking it up to perhaps he's jealous of me and rigged it somehow. he's a prick like that... I've lost two inches off my stomach since I started measuring last week so I'm happy, and my cat can't take that away from me! (even though he stole my measuring tape).

Same, there is no way you regained that weight overnight. It's called water weight and it is vicious. Couple of things play into this one...First: weigh in at the same time of day in similar (or no) clothing each time. Most people on here seem to weigh in first thing the am after visiting the toilet but before drinking anything.

Second: make sure you're drinking plenty of water, and trying to limit your sodium (I'm terrible about my sodium intake). The sodium will cause you to retain water but drinking even more water flushes out your system- go figure.

And third: Since your a girl check your cycle. Many women gain between 2-6 lbs (but some even up to 10) during TOM. This goes away for most women within a day or two of either starting or ending just depending on your body.

why does TOM have to make me sad? I guessin a few adys when I have a giant drop because its over I'll be happy, lol.
