Someone else did this not so long ago - Azure, I think? - and after she'd related how much weight can fluctuate without the world ending/it all being over for your weightloss efforts, I felt calmer! So I thought I'd share my own story from this week, if it helped reassure anyone like Azure's did it'd be good.

Last week on monday I was 130lbs and the week before I was 129lbs, so I wasn't happy. Worse, tuesday was a bit up from that, and on wednesday I weighed in at 132lbs. I didn't quite know why, I certainly hadnt overeaten by more than 500cals the previous week in total, and was working out.

Well its a week on from that and I'm back down to 129lbs, 3lbs back down in one week. I've been eating about 1800 cals a day and excercising about 40 minutes a day. It wasn't TOM water retention because I take the pill continuously and don't have periods (well one every few months).

So I just want to tell people in midst of a full scale drama (haha!) dont panic , there is probably no need to.

Yay Emily! Glad to hear the scale is "behaving"...

Emily I'm so proud of you and what you are doing! I can tell that your attitude has changed a lot just through reading your posts lately. Seriously, I really think you are on the right track. Especially not to have had that scale weirdness weirding you out. Congrats to you and keep up the great work!

The greatest scale post ever.

I agree with modkittn. You seem to be attentive to your body's natural changes for what they are, not threatened by them. It's great to read.
