GIRLS!!!!
I had this very problem this morning and a nightmare as I was going to work too ... I nearly cried...
Yesterday I stuck to mostly fruit and veg and stuck to 1200 cals... went for a two hr walk even the dog was worn out, went to bed feeling smug and happy, got up in the morning and ...guess what??? I have gained two lbs :cry::cry::cry::cry:... why? and thought why bother dieting...
I was so depressed travelling to work. I know you shouldn't weigh yourself each day but please someone tell me why? Is it because most of the cals are coming from bulkier materials like fruit and veg and it takes a while to work its way out of ones system so to speak... or perhaps gravity is stronger recently?
KD help us all out as we seem to be having the same problem. Bless us with your diet wisdom?

i really don't know life
true it's great motivation! but look how much you're all beating yourself up about a tiny gain, that's probably just water or the food you've eaten, or clothes, but it can't possibly be fat!
i love watching the scales go down as much as anyone, and it's almost a little buzz when you stand on and wait for it to tell you you've lost.... but then when it tells you you've gained, you do wonder what the point in being so strict with yourself is. then look at your tickers - i've lost 11lb, which i certainly wouldn't have lost if i had given up the first time i regained just one. okay, i've still got 11lb to go, but the fact that i'm half way there shows me it's do-able!
i really do think it's unhealthy to weigh yourself too much - it feeds the obssession with food and makes you feel crappy. i actually look forward to my weigh day now, but i dont think about it constantly. i feel much more liberated without a set of scales calling to me from the corner of the bathroom!!
anywho, that's just me. i suppose whatever works for you is fine!
good luck with this weeks weigh-ins girls, and don't beat yourselves up if you gain - look at the bigger picture!!!

LOL. Sorry I missed this.
I suppose it would be a miracle if you did weigh the same each day. Are you sure you ate the same volume of food (ie, the same weight), drank exactly the same amount of fluid, sweated or exhaled the same amount during the night?
Did your food have exactly the same amount of salt in them...what? None at all? Any day?
If fat is released from fat cells, they sometimes gets replaced with water, though I don't know whether it's ongoing, or the water says "hey buddies...fat cells getting empty...charge!!!!"
What about your scales? How accurate are they? Do they say exactly the same if you stand on them 3 times in a row?
Hormones? Bless those lubberly hormones....they are there to teach you not to rely on scales
There's many, many reasons why this can happen, so you just have to keep on trundling. Weigh yourself daily if you wish. The scales aren't your friend, but neither are they your enemy. But however often you weigh, only treat at the most once a week as something worth noting down.
Oh...BTW, the average naturally skinny person does actually eat about the same volume of food each day. Calories may vary a lot, but the weight of food they eat is about the same from day to day. Thought I'd just add that little tidbit
I only wish there was an easier answer, but alas, there aint
, but of course, fat doesn't move that quick. You would have to eat an awful lot to put on 2lbs of fat overnight....but water varies, which is why the scales are pretty c**pYes. It's called volumetrics. Even though ever successful diet works on the calories in vs calories out system, most traditional diets also use volumetrics. Less calories for the same amount of weight...such as food like fruit and veg. It's known, it's used, but people tend to talk more about the nutrients of the foods, rather than the volumetrics point.
As far as fat loss is concerned, the body always works with calories. After all, a calorie is only another word for a unit of energy. But the body will try and adjust weight (rather than fat) to keep it the same.
