You know that you normally weigh more at night, right?

Re: first day and gained????

When you weigh in the morning you are weighing an empty stomach. When you weigh at night you are weighing food and water consumed during the day so you should weigh more especially if you got all your water in.

How are you this morning?

I make that mistake sometimes too.. you think you've had a good day.. and want to weigh.. but even if you had nothing but a gallon of water all day.. that night the scale would show an increase.... because even plain water weighs 7 pounds or more a gallon...

so.. don't weigh at night

Welcome to the board. Don't let yourself become glued to the scale because it's not always the best indicator of your loss anyway. Take your measurements too and don't let just one day derail you. This is just the beginning. Good luck.
