does anyone else have trouble with their weight going up and down? I've been very consistant with my exercise, and tuesday the scale said I had lost two pounds, now today I weigh 1 pound more than I did when I started? It makes no since to me.

    ok good, glad to see i'm not the only one. I don't know if I could avoid the scale for an entire month. heck I didn't last a week. It helps that i don't own one, but my aunt does. I'm going to try and avoid it, maybe weigh in every other week. because her scale adds 10 pounds, and that really discourages me. Although I know that isn't my weight, its just seeing that number on the scale.

    UHHHH I'm so going through this.

    Started at 190 the first of Jan
    Got down to 186 first of Feb--- then weighed myself and gained 2LBS!!!

    UHHHHHH---- I think it has to do with gaining muscel and "girlie" time of the month---

    I'm now going to walmart- buying a tape measure and tracking it that way!

    First of all, fluctuations in weight in a short period of time are usually due to fluid changes so I wouldn't worry so much. Also remember that you should weigh yourself on the same scale, in the same clothing, at the same time of day each time. Any difference in those variables may throw things off...
