    Hello,

    You will drive yourself crazy wieghing yourself every day as food and water will cause flucations. Weight yourself and take inch measurements once a week on the same day and same time of day. Bodies are environments with lots of variables and sometimes this will happen :)

    Also, make sure you're not undereating. You want to pretty much at your calorie goal, eating back much of your exercise cals. On top of that, you may be overtraining. 2 hours of cardio plus weights every day sounds a lot like overtraining which, like undereating, will cause your body to greedily hang on to fat for dear life. Cool it :) This should be enjoyable and not eat up your entire life. 1.5 h work outs 5-6 days a week is recommended by any fitness/fat loss mag out there. Using a combo of cardio and strength training depending on your goals.

    Getting fit and losing weight isn't easy. You may benefit from reading up and educating yourself so you don't do things like under eat and over train. Pick up a copy of Fitness Px Women, Oxygen (my fav), or Women's Fitness, Runners World if you love cardio. Shape is okay for beginners but it's loaded with make up and fashion.

    Don't get discouraged :)

    Sorry have I misunderstood your OP? You've been doing MFP for 10 days and in that time have lost 4lbs is that right?

    Your rogue lb is one of these things: Water weight. Time of the month. Something you ate yesterday. Something you ate today. The time of day you weighed yourself. Natural fluctuation. Not been to the bathroom yet...

    Seriously. It's nothing.
