    "The number on the scale means nothing, the number on the scale means nothing, the number on the scale means nothing." I repeat that every time I weigh myself and see a fluctuation.

    Thank you so much for this. Most of the posts on here are related to weight loss and not maintenance so I found this very helpful.

    I too am a fan of keeping range, rather than a set number. This post makes a lot of sense in regards what I see with my own body day in and day out.

    Or you could stop worrying about the number on the scale and concentrate on body composition.

    That said, I thought this said "...if you eat more than your CAT." I am disappoint.

    So If I want to get down to 110-108 pounds...currently 115. I have to actually get down to 105??? So confused.

    Thank you. I feel like I should have reasoned this out (as it makes sense when you think about that glycogen deficit that is created from the initial quick weight loss) but weight loss/weight is so emotional that it clouds reason sometimes.

    How much did you lose your first week dieting?

    That is an AWESOME explanation! I think I've known this, because I've seen it with my training patters, and been like, yeah, that's from the water in my muscles, but I haven't connected it to that annoying post diet rebound. So much clearer now.

    I didn't know all the science, but I pretty much know that to stabilize at 55 lbs below what I was before I will need to lose 60...

    This was great to hear today, because i just got back from a weekend of over-indulgence and gained 5 lbs. But back to business and the gym today! :flowerforyou:
