Is this weight gain or my weight range ?
Hi I've been maintaining for over 7 months with a range of 3/4 llbs. Mostly at first I was at the low end of the range so considered my weight to be that. However I've not seen the low end of the range for a few months now so do I just accept I gained about 3llbs ? Hope this makes sense and thankyou.
