    Always a great reminder. My longest "plateau" was when I started weight training. Then I dropped 8 pounds over about a week and a half.

    Having read this I don;t feel so bad now, I was losing doing no exercise and now that I am exercising nothing appears to be moving. New Mantra - "Patience, persistence, perseverance"

    There is a theory floating around that fat cells once emptied of fat can take up water as well. They eventually release the water which can cause a whoosh as well. Weight loss isn't lineal anyway. If you are in a deficit, you are losing weight.

    Glad if I could help anybody! This drove me nuts before I realized what was happening.

    Thank you for this post! This is what has been happening to me, it was discouraging! But I'm just plowing through it, and will weigh myself in a week or so. Thanks!

    Ahh dammit! So the weight gains I have made recently may just be water ... which will disappear after a short while:huh:
