That's impossible, did you change scales? 

That's why I hate it so much to weigh myself. it's always the same story. I try soo hard then the scale tell me a different story. that is very depressing. But people say you can't always believe what the scale are showing  

Maybe that scale needs a chat with a 5lbs hammer😜 

Your scale might be faulty, I just went to buy a new scale now my scale was crazy  

Remember that muscle weigh more than fat. Have you exercised more than usual? We gain muscle before we start to shed excess fat. Don't give up! 

Thanx so much for all your comments and support, So nice and comforting to know one is not alone in this struggle. Just know I appreciate all of you 😚❤ 

Willie did you take your measurements?  

Hey, Mariaan I used to take my measurements but not since I started my weight loss journey again. I will do it again  

What did you eat the night before you weighed? I find if i eat steak or pork the night before I always weigh more, but a day or 2 later I have a drop. My trainer said it is because meat takes longer to digest.  

Hi Kimmy. I had Vegrtarian Cottage pie. There was only veggies in no meat or cheese 

Soy mince can be quite salty. Legumes..like beans..lentils etc... and mash potatoe are quite carby and carbs will always hold more water after the fact. For every 1gm of glycogen stored your body holds about 2.7 grams of water. This leads to water retention. It's basically your kidneys holding onto the sodium. Water retention can be a real bugger UGH...just down your water like there's no tomorrow. If you have a nice pharmacist...get them to give you Amiloretic. It's a diuretic and cheap as chips...excuse the pun :))) 

also just gaining. lost .5 in 2 weeks.gained 1 kg my first week. not impressed.  

water retention?
