I do. Thankfully, the shame isn't posted for all to see. :P0

yep. it happens. don't like it, but it happens. need to be brutally honest if this is going to work. : )0

well mangirl... that's interesting.
on ther other hand, it depends on how much i've gained.
if it's a pound or two i leave it.
if it's more i change it.
so, yea0 -
Nope. I know I should but I generally resolve to weigh again in a few days and it's usually gone0

I took a one-year hiatus from MFP (I was a foreign exchange student in Germany and wanted to enjoy my year there, so I made the decision to not count calories). I lost a lot of weight in the beginning, but gained some back later. I did update my ticker when I gained weight, just because it sort of kept me accountable, and it let my friends know how I was doing.0

You were born this size then?0 -
I just recently gained three pounds. I'm assuming it's from water retention or muscle gain. However, I didn't add it to my ticker. Instead, I just work out harder and eat better and remind myself how far I've already come and where I want to be, so that when I lose more weight, I can update my ticker!0

If I know it is due to water retention I don't (or if I ate extra carbs the day before). This past week I had pasta and went over sodium so I gained 2 pounds. Two days later it was back to normal. However, I changed my ticker when I gained back 5 pounds this past spring... so sad, but it woke me up!0

If the "gain" remains a gain for over a week. I update. Otherwise I don't because most likely I"ll lose it in a few days and it will post on my wall that I "lost" a lb and everyone will be happy for me for no reason at all0

i don't. i feel like it helps me get back on track faster if i keep the ticker where it was and have the goal of my lowest weight to come back to. it helps me not to give in to the higher weight.0

no but i am not going to gain weight after this and haven't yet.
my weight fluctuates within 3 pounds. If for some reason I did gain weight i would track it. :P all about dat honesty.0 -

Yeah you know what everyone is different. I have had some issues in my life lately causing me to gain which is actually none of your business. And what, you have never gained weight in your life? HAHA sounds kinds funny to me.0 -
I don't.. its usually just a water gain and goes back down in a couple days. Other than the normal water weight gain I have not gained any weight so far since starting this new lifestyle.0

Things happen and I wasn't trying to make a personal attack, just being a little silly. =P0 -
I update it every week no matter what.
If it's just a little water gain, it'll make a really nice loss the next week.0
