UP 1lb this morning?????? How's that possible??

Holy crap. I think if you're drinking that much water, working out that much and not eating as much as you should be, that's probably why. I think you should switch up what you're eating once in awhile, more calories here, less there. I think your body has gotten used to it by now. You need to 'trick' your metabolism?? I am no expert. But you can totally do it, good luck!

Glycogen and water retention. It takes very little of either or both to add up to a pound. Don't sweat the small stuff, just keep doing what you're doing. It's happened to me many times, and then for some reason I'll shed water or my body will use/release the glycogen and I'll get on the scale and be 3 or 4 pounds lighter. If you're doing all the right things, you will see the results in the end. Just be patient.

Oops, wrote the above paragraph without reading your diary and before reading the other responses. You definitely need to eat adequate calories and give your body some recovery time. If you never give your muscles a chance to recover and build you will eventually end up tearing them down instead of building them up.

Good luck!!

SOmetimes----take a deep breathe and realize----ITS ONE POUND......JUST ONE....... put it into perspective.....has it been humid at your place? how are your clothes fitting??? Today is another day......Just breathe and realize IT IS A NUMBER

HOW DO YOU FEEL?????

Haha finally someone else sees it!!!! 1lb of ANYTHING (muscle/fat/potatoes/candy bars) weighs 1lb!!!!!!!!

Yes, however when people say muscle weighs more than fat what they mean isn't per weight but based on mass. One cubic inch of muscle weighs more than one cubic inch of fat . . . and looks different too.

If your not reaching your net calories your sending your body into starvation which means that no matter how hard you get it to burn it's going to hang on to those calories like a person hanging onto a life raft. I looked at your diary and it only goes back a few weeks, not a few months . . . if you're starting out smaller it may take longer to lose the weight in a healthy way (.5 or 1 pound a week). Someone who has 100 pounds to lose can lose 5 pounds a week, someone who has 10 pounds to go, well their body just can't sustain that. Also, I know that when I have my period or am getting ready to I don't even bother to weigh that week because I always either stay the same or gain due to water weight. Looking at your diary I would suggest more snacks along the day with fruits and veggies and whole grains. This will get your calorie intake up a little higher and when you graze your body tends to use the calories more efficiently than when you sit down to big meals.

GL!!

I am no expert so all I can say is maybe it could be the heat or that time of the month or the carbs?

I really think people are afraid of eggs and then only eat the whites and put a ton of veggies and don't use butter.

I really think real food that provide a real meal is the only thing that will really fill you up and keep you going.

Go for it. Lower the carbs and eat a big breakfast and make it eggs fried in butter and berries and a bit of high protein yogurt. That's just me after a 2 month stall and earing every veggie on the planet I just went back to cave man basics and lost 7 lbs.

I am talking 80- 100 carbs total in my day carbs-fiber is net carbs

and I am eating so well and feeling so full and not thinking about it at all....you'r body needs fat and protein especially in the morning and especially if you exercise.

What do you have to lose try it!

I agree with everyone else that you probably need to eat more. I didn't see very many servings of fruits and vegetables in the few days I looked at of your diary. I am at the same point as you, with only a few pounds left to loose. I try to include more natural foods in my diet and am trying to build long term sustainable habits. Its hard not to focus on the scale, I know. I also noticed you go over the sugar limit often. Maybe you could try eating more foods with more fiber instead of sugar? Just a few suggestions! Good Luck!!

I'm up 2 lbs since yesterday, but I ate sushi last night so I'm just assuming it's water retention from all the sodium.

Stick with it, it always gets harder toward the end.
