    Sorry Myschelle ... =( Sounds like you are doing everything right. I have friends sometimes who end up gaining weight because of their sodium intake ... even when they are tracking and doing everything right. You might try:
    1) Avoiding salt to avoid retaining water weight
    2) Drinking extra water to flush your system
    3) Avoiding carbs and/or sugars (some people are more sensitive to them.)
    4) Tracking and measuring every spoonful that goes into your mouth (some of us get a bit casual and the little tastes and bites of things can add up)
    5) Otherwise ... just keep pushing through. Next week might be a real big loss for you and make up for it.

    Hugs in the meanwhile! :flowerforyou:

    I gained 2lbs last week on vacation, but lost them just in time for weigh in, so I'm still at 185 :)

    I'm due to weigh in on my "normal" scales tonight, so I will know if/what I have lost/gained. I know how much I weigh on the gym scales now, so I can guestimate loss and gains for the rest of the month :)

    I dont own a set of scales as I would be on them more than once a day obsessing over my weight.
