This has happened to me on numerous occasions. I think I am doing really well, and lo and behold, the scale jumps a couple of pounds up from the previous day. It just happens some times. Don't forget, your body is getting used to the new habits you are forming and sometimes will rebell against not getting all the foods you were feeding it before.

As for weighing in...I weigh every morning because that is the one incentive that really works for me. When I see the scale moving backwards, I am happy for the day, if I see it has stayed the same or moved up, ugh, I make a new committment to losing those pounds. I don't think missing one day at the gym will set you back.

Hang in there. Just keep following the rules. It is tough for us bandsters at times. (I just keep thinking of the end when I shed all the excess poundage...TUMMY TUCK, TUMMY TUCK, TUMMY TUCK)

That's the reason you shouldn't weigh everyday - BUT I DO IT TOO!!! Your body fluctuates with regards to fluids. Next you'll see it come back down. Hang in there!

Thanks guys! I guess I was having a spastic moment. Thanks for your encouragement!

Don't worry, there are a lot of reasons this could happen that are perfectly fine and dont signal regaining the weight. If your salt the day before was more than you have had or you had a little less water than usual to flush everything or your a little constipated or pre-menstrual.... You get the idea. Good Luck.

Sounds like muscle mass to me. 4 straight days of work-out is probably not the best thing. Your muscle bulks up, so the weight appears as it if it's fat but it's muscle. Give your body/muscle time to rest after 2 maybe 3 days of work out max. Your poor muscles need a massage to relax and release and you should be back up and running in a day of good rest.

Good luck!

I'm not banded yet, but I can tell you that two pounds is definitely not unusual for me. I have back issues that cause lots of swelling, and I can gain or lose up to five pounds overnight. Don't be too worried about it, there are so many things that can cause your weight to fluctuate that you'll drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what it is. I don't worry about it anymore unless it continues to go up and not back down. You're doing great, though!

Constipation ( not to be gross) and water retention could be whats going on either could be the culprit.
