Ok so weighed in this morning and had a 2 lb weight gain (which is ok since I was under my goal weight)but left feeling frustrated and confused because I thought I had a good week didnt get off track much other than one cheat meal on saturday and one day that I doubled my nut butter serving so how do you all get your mind motivated to start a fresh week when I dont know where I went wrong and feel dissapointed? Not a great way to help me start my week :(

    You know, weight loss is not linear. My weight fluctuates up and down daily by a couple of pounds. It depends on many things, sodium, exercise, how much food is still in your intestines. The scale is just a tool, don't let it ruin your day. You need to look at the big picture. Do your clothes fit better? I bet they do :)

    Same here! But it was more than 2lbs. I started crying, seriously , like a baby. So, I know how you're feeling.

    But I'm pretty sure that everyone's weight fluctuates and that you didn't actually gain any. Take a break from weighing, but take care of what are you eating, and then weigh yourself after a week.

    So many variables affect your weigh in, I wouldn't worry so much if you know you've been staying on track. Keep it up and it will eventually show on the scale... sometimes it just takes a while! Have you been measuring yourself too? I find measurements to be a much better gauge of what's happening with my body.
