    There is so much more to the human body then fat cells! Mostly water. Just the liver alone can fluctuate several pounds in one day doing it's job. The body weight scale is a very limited tool, as a trend over the months. Best not to tie your happiness to it.

    Why are some people so infatuated with their weight? Why would a person step on the scale Dailey anyway? Have a plan, stick to it, weigh once a week if you must. But the main thing is measurements. How your clothes fit. How you feel. None of this weight loss stuff is rocket science. Either you commit to your macros and work treats in there or you don't. And then you worry about whether that treat day sabatoged all your hard work. IIFYM. It's that simple. Then you don't need a "treat day".

    Agree with synacious too!

    Not infatuated with my weight, loosing weight is a lifestyle change so it's always at the forefront of my mind. I appreciate weighing, not just how clothes fit, every designer has different clothes measurements etc so not completely acurate! I commit to my macros and have a treat day. I wasn't worried that I had sabotaged all my hard work - not once did I say or imply anything of the sort!! I asked whether it was possible to gain 2lb overnight....simple.

    I also measure myself as well, well hubby does! My chest,arm,leg,bum,hip,stomach and waist. It's nice when you see the inches drop off :)

    Weight fluctuates for numerous reasons. I weigh daily (works for me--if you are an emotional mess in anticipation of the number, don't bother but rarely), and it is very much possible to go up or down several pounds though the day and overnight. The point of importance is to note the trend over time. In general, if you are eating healthy, being conscientious of overall caloric intake, and exercising regularly, you should see the trend go in the direction of your preference. Two pound increase overnight is not indicative of undoing your efforts thus far.

    For everything and everyone else- We all eat differently, have successes and mistakes that affect us differently, have different indicators of our chosen health and/or weight loss progress. Define what goal you want to achieve, and determine what works for you, through trial and error. Whether it be weighing daily or only once in a great while, or not at all. Whether it is juicing, carb restricting, incorporating processed food or reducing/eliminating it, or only 'eating clean'. Whether it is taking body measurements- or not at all. Whether its walking, running, doing yoga, or strength training, etc etc etc, find what works for your time, budget, and environment. In summation, a lot of different things work. Find yours. Don't worry about anyone else.

    It's probably water but having weekly treat nights will wipe out any hardwork for a good weightloss

    Only if you are not at a deficit that week. I have "treats" all the time and maintain a deficit just fine. Cal in - Cal out is king.

    Hmmm, salty crisps! I would imagine it's just water weight. Not a disaster by any means, give it a couple of days of your new normal habits.

    I eat crisp every day & lose weight always have.

    Sure.

    But if folks eat extra salt beyond their normal amount (even if it's still a perfectly healthy amount of salt), most will tend to add some water weight.

    It's just water fluctuation, not actual fat gain. Temporary, nothing to fret about.

    Thankyou all and Thankyou for some of you picking up on some of the comments that aren't that helpful!

    Personally I wouldn't choose to eat crisps and treats everyday. It's not healthy and not great for weight loss, but as what was said - find what works for yourself

    I have calorie blow outs every now and then, but rarely go over my maintenance calories, it hasn't affected my weight loss at all. Sure I might lose .0001lbs less that week or stay on my regular losing streak. But to completely wipe out my weekly deficit would be preeetttyy hard.

    Morning you clever lot!

    Weight is back to normal and I've had a 2.5lb loss this week. Usually we have our treat night on a Friday so my weight is back to normal on my Sunday weigh in. But because I went out on Friday we changed it.

    I love loosing weight, today is going to be a good day already :) one more 1lb off for the chance to carry a healthy baby. I lost triplets (not due to my weight though) and its changed my who attitude towards my body. Just being in my normal bmi again would be lovely. I was in my normal bmi when I got pregnant but I put on 8lbs instantly (they all had their own sacs) and the weight just crept up with the pregnancy and then the emotional eating after made me put on another stone. I'm now taking control!
