Water weight? TOM? Constipation? Or could just be a blip that'll correct itself in the next few days... I wouldn't worry unless it becomes a trend. (easier said than done, i know)

Hi HKsteph,
I´d go with what photorific says. You know you´ve done it properly so don´t panic too much.
I´ve found myself going up and down like a yoyo though the week ( one day almost 2lbs too) but I´ve stuck with it and always managed to drop something every week. I´ve got TOM time coming up so it will be interesting to see what happens. My problem may well be just sticking with the diet as my hormones take over and I seem to lose all control.

Hang on in there and let us know how it goes.

I wouldn't worry about it, this is why I weigh myself only once a week. Just drinking water will show more weight, and if you had actually gained 2 lbs of fat, you would have had to have eaten 7.000 EXTRA calories...which I am sure you didn't.
I stalled a little in the 2nd week of the Cruise Phase, and have now switched to green tea instead of only water, and it seems to be helping. :-)

I am so afraid of this that once I get to the cruise phase I am only going to try and weigh in once a week... I am going to TRY!

You've got this Steph! You are stronger than the temptation!!

When you feel discouraged like this, take a step back and see the bigger picture. See how far you have come, how well you have done to get where you are. Remember, you are heading in the right direction,
