    Thank you! That was very informative and makes me feel a whole lot better about the fluctuations that I've been seeing on the scale.

    If I didnt just buy a new one, I would want to set it on fire sometimes :)

    Thanks this makes a lot of sense, weighed myself this morning and had gained 2lbs so needed to ground myself with some sensible information!

    Hey Thanks for the information. MFP is new to me and my friend keeps telling me I don't eat enough. I have a lot of weight to loose and I think this forum will help me a lot. I'm lucky if I eat twice a day. I have it in my head, if I eat I will gain more weight and I can't do that. I know I have to get healthy for myself and my 2 boys. I lost my husband 1 1/2 years ago to cancer at the age of 39.

    Welcome to the group! Sorry for your loss. I am getting healthy for my son as well. I want to be around a long time and teach him the right way about fitness and health so he can live a full life with his future family.

    How do I ever begin to express my thanks on this. It totally explains my 4 lb gain from Sunday. I was so frustrated his morning that I began another side journal of what I am noticing and what I am eating. My sodium has been ridiculous & I know for a fact my water intake has been low. This is probably a great indication of why I gained.

    Thank you so much! I am going to print this up and every time I dread drinking that water (I'm working on it!), I'll look at this as some inspiration to chug it down! Lol thanks Mike!!!
