How come one day I get on the scale it says I have lost 2 pounds then the next day put it back one.I don't understand that at all why does it do that?

    It's most likely just water weight, or the fact that what you ate before hasn't been fully digested or ... umm expelled from your body, so it's probably just some 'bulk' sitting there. I agree about not weighing daily. Once a week works for me. It shows real progress, however I am in maintain.

    I have gone 2 weeks at a time without weighing too. The minute I stopped being so fixated on the scale, getting on the scale, getting off the scale, numbers up, numbers down, no matter the piddly amount, it was actually pretty liberating! Not saying I still don't have my moments with the scale, I do sometimes. But it's much much better that before.
