I have gained......GAINED 4 lbs. What am I gonna do? how did I do this? I am totally freaking right now. It must be getting close to my time of the month. Any suggestions? I just can not believe this has happened. Maybe I should check the batteries in my scale......... help?!?!?!?

STOP. BREATHE.

This is NOT the end of the world, and it does not have to be the end of your efforts! Drink lots of water today, and remind yourself that the scale is a fickle measure of success - truly. Unless you really know you ate 14000 extra calories, you can count on this being any number of things... and I certainly know my scale has a good laugh at me around my time of the month.

Get back on track, stop panicking, and keep going. THAT is success. I promise.

Shelbysmom, you are not alone, I too have gained, I am 53 and can not put my gain down to that time of month
Mine, I'm afraid, is just because I got off track, have not been gong to gym and quite frankly don't know how much I have put on I just know that I have. Too darned scared to hop on any scales If I could ask this genie for anything today it would be for a good hard kick in the
Hang in there as Heather says and just keep going.

So Thanks Heather, I will take your advice too.
Penlty of water, and tracking daily food.
