Hey guys. I haven't weighed for 2 weeks and have been good. I weighed yesterday and had put a pound on!!!!!! But It is coming to that time of the month. . Does this effect anyone else?

    Yup! I can go weeks with no scale movement. Patience really is the key and tracking the trend over 6-8 weeks to get a true picture.

    Here is an example of how my weight fluctuates day by day:

    That's why i weigh daily and use an app to average it out...if I only weighed in once every 2 weeks and hit a high day (I have a LOT of swings) I would lose it and quit.

    I had 8lbs gain in two weeks was distraught. This week lost 5.2lbs still trying to work out why.. currently stopped the mini pill in hopes it's that causing me to retain water.

    I weigh myself every four weeks generally, I tend to maintain for weeks then dump the weight all at once, so can only assume it's water retention triggered by hormonal changes, so if I weigh myself at the same time every four weeks it seems to work out ok. I do occasionally weigh in between if I've particularly change my diet and have done that this week, but am most interested in the four weekly goals.
