Having lost 11 lb in 8 weeks by exercising regularly and dropping my calorie intake (MFP has really helped with this) I am now putting weight back on - 1/2 lb this week. It's so annoying when I'm doing all the right things and things now seem to be failing :-(

Water weight. It's normal to fluctuate a little. Keep going and evaluate after a month or more of continuous weight gain.0

Weight fluctuates. For example, if you drink a quart of water you'll gain a couple of pounds.
Don't panic.... as long as you are sticking to the program you will reach your goal ... slowly.0 -
I've been showing an alarming gain myself the past two weeks - I'm supposed to be at maintenance, but due to a lot of activity I've been at a deficit, so it's sort of bizarre. People have said it's probably muscle, but I just had an operation and am not exercising. Also all my clothes are loose, so I just don't believe the scale. Have banned it to the closet.0

Seriously? You are panicking over eight ounces over 7 days?0 -

its water retention as your body heals after the operation.0 -
