I have been perfect for 5 straight weeks and went yesterday to my centre and gain .4, I have been working so hard, with this and now it depresses me that my hard work is not having any affect on my body. I had lost 8.8 now its 8.4? Any advice out there???

for women it can be anything, your body is changing throughout the month all the time. I had a perfect eating week and gained .5 also one week. Don't be too hard on yourself, your body will adjust all the time. Also, could check and see perhaps your calorie level is too high? Or not enough water? Or things you ate this week had more salt? A number of things.

Celebrate the 8.4!! That is a great loss!

Realize that we can't lose every single time, even when we are "good" on the program. My best advice is to not focus on the .4 gain but, the 8.4 loss and move onto this week with a positive attitude.

Good luck!
