KEEP LOSING AND GAINING SAME 3lbs

[jen36 1]

Can anyone give me advice, I keep going from 167lbs and then Sat. I was 164lbs but then today back up again to 167lbs, this has been going on for 2wks now. I am 7wks post op, and I am exercising 5 days a week, can anyone give me any ideas on how to get out of this rut? I want to get back to losing at least 2lbs a week if possible. The last two days I have def. over done the eating but am still exercising. I am back on track today.:scared2:

OMG you and I are in the exact same boat (even with the number!) I was so psyched when I saw 163 on Saturday now today I am again 164 (this is after last week going from 165, 164, 166, 164). I have no idea what the heck is going on either. The only thing I can think of is Water, so I'm going to drink 3 gallons today LOL.

I'll be checking this thread to see what kind of responses you get. It's COMPLETELY FRUSTRATING, isn't it?!?

Yes so frustrating and the strange thing is too my scale only goes down on Sat. no other day during the week... so funny!!!! I think I will do alot of Water today too and see if that helps!!!! Good luck and let me know when you get out of your rut too!!!!! :scared2:

I onlyweigh myself on Sunday morning. It would drive me nuts doing it every few days. My suggestion would be to weigh yourself just once a week. Good luck!

Are you taking body measurements? Weight isn't the only measure of progress. I think we all know when we go "off the wagon" even if it is only for a day or two. I think as overweight individuals we are more sensitive to salt, Water, even a little overeating. I know that before surgery my weight could fluctuate as much as five pounds a day! Another cosideration: food allergies. Have you been tested? If you eat something and your stomach hurts, that's an immediate tip-off. Sometimes a food can be irritating (and cause bloating and constipation) a day later! Very frustrating. Good advice above, weigh yourself only once a week. My doctor really pushes that one. Same day, same time. Good Luck!!

I know the feeling, which I hate. My weight have been doing the same thing for the past two months. The worst part about it is that my weight never seem to drop pass 178. When I think I'm going to drop down like 2-3 pounds the scale it's like 4-5lbs up. The yo yo weight is driving me to the wall:angry:. I can't wait for it to stop.

so hard to stay motivated when your exercising 5 days a week but the scale shows no progress. No I haven't measured myself at all, I know I need to do that but I haven't. Just got to keep pushing myself and not give up. I went through that surgery to succeed not to give up..

I am having the same problem! Wish my number was that low though! haha

I believe that weight is the only way to measure and I dont believe that I am working out is causing me to gain muscle and blah blah.

It is frustrating and my personal trainer kicked my butt today because the scale was up two pounds! I work out 5-6 days a week and my eating is on point! I went for my 2nd fill today, hopefully it will help some!

I am in the same boat here.... had my best week of exercise and I gained this week! Granted I made some poor food choices- but even the week before I didn't lose a pound. So frustrating, but I think it will pass. We all seem to be around the two month mark. Naan I hear you on wishing my weight was bouncing in the 160s I'd be so close to goal!!
