    I went way over my EVERYTHING yesterday: protein calories, sugar & sodium (not on purpose), carbs... but all with healthy food. I was hungry after dinner so I had a smoothie and that's what did it. Ended up at about 1400 calories I think (gasp!) and felt not hungry for the first time since I started. I was full and happy. So now we'll see what happens.

    It's very likely that you're holding water. You had a lot of sodium. When I barely go over, I weigh more the next day. Go low on the sodium and drink lots of water today and you'll see a difference tomorrow.

    Your sodium intake is a bit high a few times with very little water to flush it out. Cut back on the sodium and up your water. Put squirt of lemon or lime juice in it. Sodium makes you retain water thus making the loss slower.

    You need to watch the sodium it will make you retain water.

    I've eaten 1350-1500 calories every day since Tuesday and am down a pound. Also started having breakfast (some kind of protein and fruit smoothie with spinach in it) in the car on the way to work instead of waiting until I'm starving at 10a.

    The salt is shocking... really going to have to keep an eye on that. Yeesh!

    More than likely, no, you're not eating enough.
