Is it possible to gain five pounds my first week, but go down a pant size???

[Redeemed]

hmmmm Maybe you lost fat and gained muscle. When losing weight, the scale may not always be the best way to measure your progress. Just keep at it!!!

Did you exercise a lot, that may have built muscle that is heavier than fat. Be sure to get your water in, that will help with water weight in the beginning.
Good Luck!

No I didnt exercise at all!! I just stuck to the points (and didnt go over). I dont understand. I weighed myself at the same time as I did the first time, and I am heavier!! But I can fit in pants that I couldnt at first!! I am going to drink more Water!! This is so frustrating!!

Could it be that time of the month ?

[jadedjane]

there are several reasons to show a gain on the scale

TOM - that one does it for me. sometimes I fluctuate 6 or 7 pounds right before I see "aunt flo"

Not all low point snacks are low sodium. When I first joined WW and started eating healthy I discovered exactly how much even tiny ammounts of sodium effect my body.

Get enough water? I've actually bloated and gained on weeks that I have eaten tons of veggies and done loads of excercise - simply because I didn't get the water in.

The first weekly weigh in was not too impressive either. I wasn't used to the schedule (I have a lunchtime meeting). I chowed down on lunch and drank a liter of water right before weighing in. I could have kicked myself fo that one -lol.

The point is...The scale is one small part of measuring your overall health. Try to focus on the fact that you fit in smaller pants, and keep on going

I weigh between 137 and 140 pounds on any given day. At 5'6" you might think I'd be a size 8-10ish....but no. I'm actually a size 2-4. A far cry from the size 32 (310-315 pounds) I used to be. Weight isn't everything. *hugs* for your committment to a healthy you.

What were you wearing when you weighed the first time?

...and the 2nd time you weighed?

I always weigh myself NAKED. Always in the morning, after my shower, before breakfast. AND NEVER during "that time of month"!!

[MariaMaria]

Were you on the same scale?

[4myhealth]

Yes, I was on the same scale, same type of clothes, and same time of day.

HOWEVER, I did not take into count TOM!!! Maybe that is it. I am not too sure, but I think it might be sometime in the next 5 days or so.
