in Health and Weight Loss
So this morning when I went up the scale I was at 156.2, tonight I am at 160 lbs... I am soooo disapointed. I know it could be water weight but for 4 pounds?

Can you please look into my food diary and see what has been happening. Oh my god, I am totally disapointed in my self.


Last time I tried losing weight I did it through Jenny Craig, I do not want to go back to them as they are expensive...but that was the only way I lost weight.

This forum is my last hope. Please let me know what you think I am doing wrong :(

    There are a number of reasons, if this is a recent 'healthy' change and you are eating differently to how you normally do, your body can react in all sorts of surprising ways. Some of the other most common causes are:

    Did you do significant (or different) exercise yesterday?
    Have you taken in a lot of sodium rich foods in the last couple of days?
    Is it that TOM?

    Or, is your scale broken/temperamental?

    You don't need to go back to JC, or to WW, or any other gimmick. This will work, just stick to what you know you should be doing and give it a little time.

    Weight gain could be due to fat turning into muscle. Although it is very annoying to see the scale go up, guage it differently... how do you feel, does your body feel tighter, have you got more energy?!

    Whatever you are doing, keep it up, Rome wasn't built in a day :)

    Why are you weighing twice a day? That isn't representative of weight gain or loss.

    Well.... given the fact that you weighed yourself in the morning and are comparing the weight to your current weight ( at night).... I would take into consideration all of the food and water you drank today.

    I usually fluctuate 5-8 pounds in one day. It is nothing to worry about. Tell us what you weigh after you use the restroom tomorrow

    Your body fluctuates throughout the day. Thats why they only advise that you weigh yourself once a week in the morning. If you weigh yourself in the morning, you will see a different story

    my word, please DO NOT weigh yourself multiple times a day, I would say at the very most weigh every 3 days, and always at the same time - AKA first thing in the morning, before breakfast but after a wee and a ....'an other' (!). This way, your weight will be your body weight, not the food, drink, clothes you are taking on and putting on yourself in the day.

    Hi there. D
    DO not take any notice of the scales. There is a reason we weight ourselves in the morning.This in when our body is most likely to be at its TRUE weight.After our first pee and before eating or drinking. We as women can gain anything up to 10lbs in water weight on any given day..Depending on different variables ie;time of month,like someone else said eating a lot of sodium can have a roll on effect for a few days.Try not to weight your self in the evening. It can be disheartening.Hope this helps you. I see you are doing well keep it up x

    You ate food and you drank liquids. Do not weigh yourself daily let alone more than once a day - weigh weekly at the most.

    I looked at your diary, even though gaining weight throughout the day is completely normal and you should really weigh yourself ONCE a week at the same time every week.

    You're not consistently logging and you're not eating clean most days. I see a lot of processed food and chocolate. Sometimes is okay, but most days is not.

    Weigh at the same time each day, preferably about 10 minutes after you get up in the morning. It will give you a more accurate weight. Sometimes when you have worked or been on your feet for a long period of time, you will retain fluid. I have weighed 2 to 11 pounds more at night than I did the same morning.

    Weigh as soon as you do your morning bathroom stop its is the most accurate

    And I was 124lbs two hours ago and now I'm 130lbs. It's because it's night, you've drunken and eaten. Educate yourself. By tomorrow you'll be back at the original.

    How would this impact her weight loss?
