    It will be okay! I had similiar situation that happened to me. I had one day I ate unhealthy, then purposely doubled my workouts to counteract it. Then I gained ONE pound! It devastated me.....then the following week, I lost FIVE! For whatever reason, our body goes through a weird cycle or something. Keep ON keeping On! You can do it! :bigsmile:

    Very true! Depending on what you are doing for your work, you may have increased muscle mass (which I'm sure you know weighs more than fat) so to me, at least the number that pops up on the scale is not nearly as important as how you look, and most importantly how you feel.

    If you're working hard at eating the right things, controlling portions and / or total daily calorie intake, and exercising you're doing the right things for your body which will pay off in the long run.

    Don't give up!

    When I've been as good as that....on plan and exercising, I like to blame the an unbudging scale on fluctations in the earths gravitational pull. =)
