Unhappy Intro and help needed

Hi all! I am on day 8 of IP. It seemed to be going very well at first and I dropped 3 pounds within 3 days. My WI was on Wed. and I was pleased that I had lost the weight and really didn't feel too bad for the first few days. I have tried everything to get 25-30 pounds off my very petite frame with no success. I was very positive that IP would do the trick.

I have stuck to the protocol and have been drinking my water and have done everything that I am supposed to do, suppliments, salt, etc. I got stuck at the 3 pound mark for 4 days and then today gained 1 1/2 pounds. What is wrong with me? I am very frustrated and it's difficult to go on.

You're probably losing inches not weight. I'd stop with the daily scale visit and move to once a week. You body is doing lots of adjusting!

So hard on the psyche to see the scale go up...
Is there any way you can just weigh in once per week? Stress/ hormones/ sodium could all be behind the sudden jump. It will more than likely disappear as quickly as it appeared and you will be back to losing more. Just hang in there and don't be discouraged. Have faith in your body and the program and they will work together for you. These sudden increases can sometimes be considered a test of will. If you can overcome your disappointment and continue on with the belief that you are doing the right thing for yourself you will be heartily rewarded within the next couple weeks. Try it... and you'll see...

Thank you for the encouragement. Yes, I should step away from the scale. I am so anxious to get below this particular weight that I have not been able to for the past 6 years of trying, that it is very difficult for me. I feel that once I break below this weight, that I will be able to do it. I have 3 more days until WI, but I am not very patient at all.
