    I 'lost' 3 pounds in one day, and obviously I didn't lose 3lbs of fat overnight. It is definitely disheartening, but just keep doing what you're doing.

    4 days just isn't enough time. You're going to have to be more patient.

    I'm on day 6 of no meat. You'd think that my weight would be trending down. Nope. I'm gaining weight.

    Day 6, no meats. Day 5, no poops. :D:'(

    I gained 2kg by just moving my scales an inch or two further away from my bathroom wall. In general, I gain at least 3kg between breakfast and bedtime every day.

    Don’t sweat the small fluctuations. In 2-3 weeks you’ll start seeing a trend.

    I second this-scale placement can do all sorts of wonky things to your numbers. I weigh less when the scale is on my bedroom floor (stone fireplace hearth area) vs our bathroom floor (wood floor). The scale stays out in the bedroom now :D

    I'm so pedantic about scale placement I know which specific bathroom tile each foot of the scale should sit on for consistent placement =)

    Meat got nothin' to do with nothin'. I ate no meat for 41 years, got obese, stayed obese. Then, kept eating no meat, ate fewer calories.

    Lost 50 pounds. Still, no meat. ;)

    Poop: Eat fiber, drink water, get enough fat. If that doesn't solve it, get exercise and eat priobiotic foods (not capsules - just my prejudice ;) ).

    If that's not enough, see your doctor.
