Last Friday was my weigh in. I gained .6 and it was very depressing for me. Having stayed under my calories and TOM coming, I figured it out to be mainly water retension. But still sad about it, nevertheless.

Now, 4 days later, I'm still upset about it, and discouraged to get back on that scale. I am planning on waiting till this coming Saturday to get back on, but I am still CRAZY worried that the .6 won't come off and I won't lose anything in addition to it.

I am still eating well and making the best choices, but why am I feeling so down about it? I just feel like after all the work I put in, I should see results....and because I saw negitive results it discouraged me so much. It's like I've been in this crabby funk since then... :( Anything you suggest to help?

    I know exactly how you feel. I always feel so discouraged whenever I gain and find it hard to get the motivation again. You're making the right decision to wait a week till you get back on the scales. Getting on any sooner might not be very accurate and will drive you insane! Keep going the way you are - make good food choices and exercise as you are and it WILL come off. Don't be too discouraged! Just you wait till you get on those scales on Saturday... :-)

    Try doing measurements as well as weigh ins. I've found that most of the time when I don't necessarily see any changes in the scale, or the scale goes up, that I have lost inches. And since muscle weighs more than fat I'm happy with inches lost at least I know I'm staying on track whether it looks like it on the scale or not. :wink: Try not to worry about it, I'm sure everything will work out fine as long as you stay on track. Keep up the good work!
