I don't understand.... I can't take this anymore, my scale always does this to me... I weighed myself and it said I gained 5 pounds in one day!!!! :' ( I don't understand.. I was losing weight and I did so great yesterday there's no way I could have gained weight this can't be happening, I tried so hard!!!! :'(

Well whenever I weight myself at night I am always heavier than I am in the morning...

That's my post below this one, I just wanted everyone to know that I did weigh myself in the morning. I've been on diets on and off since like grade 4 so I'm in grade 9 know... trust me I know anything that I could have done wrong but I didn't do anything wrong and I know that I should weigh myself in the morning and I did... and I gained 5 pounds!!!! I seriously just feel so depressed right now... I don't understand why this happened : (

I never weigh myself in the day like in the middle or anything because you're right you eat and drink and it affects your weight because you're carrying stuff around and it makes you heavier... I weighed myself in the morning, I always do, but I gained 5 pounds! I couldn't believe it, what would you say if you finally started losing weight and then weighed yourself the next day in the morning, and gained 5 pounds... I feel so depressed now, I can't believe this : (

Ya well... it just gets frustrating... this always seems to happen. I've lost these 5 pounds about 3 times already! My mom says our scale is wrong, it's pretty cheap scale but I dono...I don't feel or look like I gained weight at all so I really don't understand : (

maybe it's because you're stressed out. also- if you're weighing yourself too much it could just be water weight. i weigh very different in the middle of the week then i do on my weigh-in day. give it some time and relax...

Try weighing yourself at night rather than in the morning. If you weigh yourself in the morning, you are heavier because you haven't peed yet (which gathers through the night) and your body expands when you're sleeping.

Ohhh Caludia...lol..you have me cracking up! You can't weigh yourself in the middle/night of the day. Of COURSE you will weigh more. You have food in you..not to mention liquids! You have to weigh yourself in the morning before you eat or drink ANYTHING!! Good Luck..and tommorow MORNING I bet you you won't weigh that much! :)
