tb21872 31 Posted March 27, 2013 I gained 2lbs!!!! What??? I'm 3 months out. Is this normal???? Am I failing???? I'm freaking out!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna1955 69 Posted March 27, 2013 Calm down! 2 lbs can be nothing more than temporary Water weight gain. Wait a couple of days and it will go back down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmilingEyes 29 Posted March 27, 2013 just remember the scale is just a tool to measure by. it surely can go up and down according to Water gain or loss so just keep up the good work and the 2 pounds (of probably water) will be gone before you know it!

gmanbat 5,889 Posted March 27, 2013 I gain and lose 2-4 pounds all the time. It's like waves coming and going. If I go up 5-10 pounds in a short period I get concerned. So far it has not happened. Many factors: exercise, sodium/potassium levels, Water consumption, stress, phase of the moon, (ok, not the phase of the moon, that has more to do with beard growth ), contribute to the scale report. The scale is a superficial observer, never delving into the heart, probably like many of the slime guys you ladies have known. 2 MrsG and COnative reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted March 27, 2013 I gain all of the time. Just less than I lose. If you saw a weight loss chart by days, it would zig zag up and down, up and down in a gradual decline over time. Nothing unusual. 2 COnative and MrsG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tb21872 31 Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks for the support y'all. I just haven't been in a very good place and I'm frustrated. I have been unable to exercise due to an injury and I'm like a hawk with the scale as a result. Ugh! I'll try to remain calm!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicholeRain 1 Posted March 29, 2013 You weigh less at 4 am then you do at noon, it is perfectly normal for a person (sleeved or not) to fluctuate everyday through out the day, and have patterns in a month. They say never weigh yourself everyday, but once a week, so you can see the overall progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
