I have been at my goal weight and trying to maintain for about 2 months now and have seen the scale go up and vary by 10lbs in a week. I know this is "normal" but in this whole year I have been on this journey I never saw the scale go up till I tried to maintain. (even during TOM) I wont lie..... it smoothed freaked me out.

I was telling my the trainer at the gym about it and she suggested I get my body fat % rate tested. I know some of you are thinking...well duh. But I never did it in the beginning because I was mortified of what it might have been so havent thought about doing it now.
Well if I knew then what I know now I would have been doing it this whole time.
I have 15.2% body fat!!!!!!!! So I'm recommending to everyone to get their body fat % rate done.
Just FYI for those of us who have a love/hate relationship with the scale :flowerforyou:
