constant weight fluctuations -anyone?

[jenny mcgregor]

I cannot understand why my weight goes up and down so often when my eating does not change. when i say often i mean evry month or less. it is so depressing.
has this happened to anyone? if so do you know why?
also, i am not talking about a few lbs., i am talking about one week i can fit nicely in my jeans and the next week they cannot go past my butt!!

Hi there! I have never really heard of anyone going up and down that quickly or that much. I seem to change sizes all at once, but not up and down. Do you drink a lot of water? The only thing I can think is that maybe you retain a lot of water by nature.

Hi

I have the same problem,I think for me it depends what i eat! I drink a lot of water so i know it's not that!
Some foods just make me bloat more,i can't eat very much salt either,or i just blow up.I do the best when i follow a low carb diet!Somehow that just makes all the bloating go away.

I am experiencing the same thing. But not as much. Just around 5 lbs. Yesterday, I was down, and I was happy, then I ate a piece of pizza, it was my splurge since I adjusted other things during the day so I could eat pizza, and this morning I was up 4lbs. It is most likey the salt in the pizza. I will just wait and see when I get home tonight. Because If one day of pizza makes me gain 4 lbs... I am never going to lose weight! SO frustrating!!!

yeah,it is so frustrating. sometimes i wonder why this has to happen. if anyone else has suggestions let me know.

This does not happen to me personally, but I have a friend who swears that it depends entirely on what she eats. She is a beer drinkers too, and swears that her belly has "shrunk" since she switched to a lower carb beer (although she has not lost weight, just size).

Anyway, Just thought I would add that thought. It may be WHAT you eat, not how much.

Hi all,
thanks for your replis. i know now that i am not hallucinating...after all some of you are going through the same thing.
sometimes it gets me so depressed that i start looking at others and wish i had their bidies. i start to see myself as an ugly pig.
it's pathetic, but true.

Since I always weighed myself morning & night there would always be a difference in numbers between morning and night and I would always get depressed if the # at night was higher than the morning. So instead of getting depressed I promised myself that I would only weigh myself in the mornings this way I would not get depressed at night. Maybe you should just weigh once a day I know the best thing to do is to only weigh once a week but I can't do that so once a day is my limit.

what are you all taking? are you all on phen? how has it been working for you?
