    love how everyone thinks you can just "go take a dump" any ol time you want.............

    Drink coffee. Approximately 5 nanoseconds later you will have to poop.

    Known among coffee drinkers as CID. Caffeine Induced Dump.

    would like to eat a couple slices of pizza but no not five large, tx. BTW do men fluctuate as much as women

    I can fluctuate 2-5 Lbs day to day depending on my sodium intake and whether or not I've dropped a deuce before I weigh in. Literally, I can drop a deuce and weigh about 2.5 Lbs less than I did 30 seconds before that.

    Yes. My weight from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed can vary by 6-7 lbs depending on what I ate, exercise, sodium intake, etc.

    Take measurements of your arms, waist an navel, hips, thighs. Those will be move accurate overall than a scale and are a much better number to focus on reducing.

    yup weighed in this am first thing in the morning necked, and up 4 pounds from yesterday, the first day \I ate back my exercise calories, coincidence???
    Do you think you actually gained 4 pounds of fat? That would equate to a surplus of 14,000 calories of fat eaten. Relax, it's a little water weight and probably needed to do BETTER repair of muscle breakdown.

    Really shouldn't base your weight on daily fluctuations. That occurs all the time due to a myriad of reasons i.e. sodium intake the day (or even days) prior, water retained from exercise especially strength training.. etc. It would not be due to you over eating because, really, you don't just gain from a single day of "overeating" as you call it. And especially if you were on low calories for awhile, your body tends to compensate for that by hanging on to the food it gets when there is a sudden increase. Doesn't necessarily mean that you officially gained weight per se. Besides, measurements are the real indicator of whether or not you have lost fat. so take your measurements!

    You should pick a set day and ONLY weigh yourself on that day..otherwise you are going to become very discouraged.
    I weigh myself on Saturday.....that way I know how hard I worked all week and it usually pays off! So pick a day, weigh yourself that day and DONT weigh yourself until the next week!

    To answer your questions directly...

    Gained 4 pounds one day seriously? Yes.

    ...coincidence? Yes.

    If you put 1 lb of food in your body... and you weight yourself before you're 100% sure to get it out of your body, you will weigh one more pound that day. Think of your stomach and intestines as a grocery bag... it gets heavier and lighter as you put stuff in and take stuff out.

    I weigh myself everyday, but I am only counting the weight once a week and when it shows the lowest (which is when I know I have the least amount of water/food in my system).

    According to your diary yesterday your net cals were only 912. You may have eaten some of your exercise cals back, but you didn't eat all of them.

    I'm a daily weigher - it's just a habit and the numbers don't bother me. I can easily be up 3lbs one day, down 2 the next, up 1, down 3 - it's normal. Water weight, exercise, hormones, sodium - so many things can influence it.

    Eat well, exercise, get good rest, repeat. Take measurements, weigh once a week if the daily numbers get to you. Track measurements and weigh over a period of time to gauge your progress.

    This is good advice. If the scale freak you out that much, though, you should weigh in once a month. Weight loss isn't linear...weight fluctuates, and for some people it can fluctuate A LOT.

    I typically gain 3-4 pounds the day after a race or endurance athletic event just from muscle swelling and water retention. Yes, it really can fluctuate that much in a day. Typically it levels back out 3-4 days later.

    You have two choices. One, weigh yourself everyday and wreak havoc on yourself emotionally and mentally. Two, not weigh yourself daily and enjoy a peace of mind. I use to be a daily weigher for over 30 years and the stress was just too much.
