Anyone gaining weight, while following the diet religiously? I know my body is going through major changes, I see a difference in clothing. I'm wondering if my new scale is playing with my head. If I wake tomorrow and I'm up...my new scale is going 6feet under! Lol

Small fluctuations in weight are normal...so attempting to resist the temptation to weigh yourself every day is important. One can avoid many negative thoughts and disappointments when you weigh yourself weekly.

I gained 5 pounds after my gall bladder surgery, which is normal post op with swelling and Fluid retention. It was gone within 10 days.

Don't blame your scale...and be certain to weigh yourself at the same time of the day, but not every day!

I gained 10 pounds in 5 days! I'm convinced my scale is messing with my head. It's impossible!!! The one I have is digital...I might be buying an old school dial tomorrow! I can calibrate that bad boy. :)

Get rid of your scale. Weigh at your Drs. office . Use your clothes as a guide to what you weigh.

You are going to drive yourself nuts!!!

I dont want to become obsessed with the scale (because I can see myself doing that) so for now, my plan is to weigh in only at my drs appts for the fills or follow ups. ----there is no scale in my home----

I also don't keep a scale at home. Weigh in about 2 times a month. I think it works for me to not being obsessed with daily fluctuations good luck with your decision

I refuse to buy a scale because it will only cause frustrastion stress and anxiety. Avoidind the triggers for emotional eating.

I too am no friend of the scale. I will use one infrequently. But I know my clothing well and seem to always have great weekdays. Weekends are a little challenging. But all good
