As of my last WI I lost 13.6 total in the first 27 days. Not sure what to make of the scale being up so much the last few days...can a big gain happen early on the diet like this for no reason? Female age 54 so no it is not a girls "monthly' issue going on. I am even increasing my water but the scale is still holding with this big gain. Could it be by Wed all this and more will just come off before the WI? I hope so.
It takes 3,500 calories to gain a pound of fat, so unless you have been going to town... No, you have not "really" gained. There are many reasons one can show up pounds (many have already been mentioned) so just "Keep on keeping on...." On plan, that is!
It is doubtful you will be up that much at weigh-in, but it is possible you could be up a bit. That just happens sometimes. Your overall downward trend is wonderful, so if you are up a but, just know it will come down again soon. You know you are 100% so DON'T WORRY!
