Normally I get weighed on Saturday mornings. I started this week going in the afternoons. I weigh about 3 to 5 lbs more at the end of the day than I do in the a.m. Boy, was I upset when I saw the scale today. I'm trying to remember that for some reason I weigh a lot more in the evenings than the a.m., but it's hard to believe in myself when I see those numbers. I'm really upset right now even though I know I am losing inches.

You will always weigh more later in the day then in the morning when you first get up.
You had breakfast, lunch, water etc.
This is normal.
Unless you had a horrific case of diarrhea, sorry to be gross, the scale will always be up.
If you way yourself after eating or drinking you will see a weight gain. This is normal.

LOL about the diarrhea because I have had that and not lost a pound. I had the flu one time and threw up for 48 hours solid and gained weight--that could only happen to me

It's really frustrating because I've technically hit halfway (morning weight) but by my 4:00 weigh in I'm always over--I've even skipped meals (bad, I know) and always drink my water but then stop drinking around 1:00 and I'm still 2 lbs over. Aaaack! I wish I could have a morning weigh in, but my center is 25 miles from my house so I just go after work (they aren't open before and I can't leave for lunch, so that's not an option). It DOES make a difference!

The first week yss of course you will be up but the next week that you weigh in in the afternoon you will be down from the week before. Don't get discouraged. They always say way at the same time everyday and this is because of as someone said eating drinking etc. 88

Ladylynda,
This is "one" of those things that you have NO CONTROL OVER!
There are certain things that you have to learn to accept, weighing more later in the day then when you first get up is one of them.
No matter how mad it makes you, you can't change it.

Not everyone will weigh more later. There are a few of us who weigh less in the afternoon. My counsilor pointed this out to me. I am one of a few people she sees who have water weight gain over night.
