Whereabouts are you on your cycle? sometimes this affects how much you weigh. Good luck for next week hun xxxx

I don't eat bananas myself, and I could understand you gaining if you were eating them by the wheelbarrow, but...

There are all sorts of reasons why weight loss doesn't show up, and you might find it catches up with you next week - last week I lost 1/4 of a pound, and this week 5 pounds. I did nothing different, but I was mid-cycle and ovulating on weigh day the first week, and the water gain masked the 2.5 pounds I had really lost. Stick with it and it will pay off in the end.

I have just ovulated so maybe that was what it is thanks for that

 

[I wanna b a loser!]

I'm guessing that having just ovulated is the reason then. Happens to me every month, I always retain water!

 

[Sparky67]

I always put on before my period is due, and everyone accepts that. I also know that sometimes I would gain weight for no apparent reason, but I have been charting my fertility recently and this is the first month that ovulation came at the same time as weigh day. I do weigh more often than I should (slap wrist) and midweek of the week before ovulating I was on course for a great loss, then for no reason I just gained over 2 pounds. It went as suddenly as it came a few days later, but if I had only weighed in on weigh day I would have been very disappointed as I had worked hard and been 100% all week and lost virtually nothing. As I say, I've done nothing different this week and got a 5lb loss, which is really 2.5 from last week (which was "lost" on the scales) and 2.5 from this. I had never really appreciated that you can gain water around ovulation, and never really took that much notice about when it was before, but I guess now that's why sometimes I would just gain for no obvious reason and then lose it again.
