Someone PLEASE explain to me...I couldnt eat Monday (and Dr talked me into a fill) So I had  a total of 3 crackers, coffee and 2 shakes all day..Tuesday was 5/ 200 calorie shakes and 2 cups of coffee. Weds I weigh and Im down 6 lbs...ate the same as Tuesday except replace one shake with 240 calorie soup. Today...IM UP those 6lbs. WTF?
Im SO sick of this! Whats the point?

My scale lies to me... it bounces around up and down all the time... YOU CAN'T LET IT GET TO YOU... you have to look at the long term stuff.. sometimes week over week and sometimes month over month.

During a given week my scale will tell me all kinds of things, I think it's actually possesed.  Dropping to such low liquid calories can cause your body to do a bit a shock... it can bounce down, then up ... it's psycho and frustrating.  Our body is in a constant state of digestion and processing and holding on to water and letting it go and every little thing can change it. 

I get on the scale frequently (sometimes too frequently) but I tend to look at  month over month.  If I let every up and down get to me I'd probably need to be committed to a mental institution.

As discouraging as this may seem DO NOT GIVE UP! Our bodies have a way of doing their own thing and sometimes we don't know why. Keep a positive mind, journal your foods, daily routine, fluids, and exercise...you never know a pattern may show itself.

I agree with Gayla.  Just wanted to add it could be the scale too.  Not all scales are created equal.  Just keep pushing water!!!  :D  I know it's hard not to get down but when I have these moments I think of the long term goal and where I'll be in a year or at Christmas.  That helps me because we'd go nutso if we paid attention to the scales every whim.  :)

Thank you guys. Im sorry to send the post in another direction. I just feel like i have tried so hard. I WANT to work out, but (thanks to my weight) I now have plantar fascitis and I can only walk so far.

Thanks for the support. Im just falling apart right now.
