Okay this is crazy... I went from 155 to 151.5 and I was so so so happy and I thought I could lose more and maybe finally for once win the weight loss contest this week because I was trying so hard! Anyways, then the day before yesterday I ate really good exercised and I did great! So then I weighed myself in the morning (it was Thursday morning) before I even ate or anything... and I gained 5 pounds since Wednesday morning so that means that in one day... like overnight, I gained 5 pounds! I couldn't believe it it's just not fair I don't know what happened I couldn't have gained 5 pounds!!!! I'm positive that I went down to 151.5 I double and triple checked that morning just because I couldn't believe it and I was so so so so happy and then I gained 5 pounds. I understand maybe gaining it if you eat alot and everything but I did SO good, I should have lost weight!!!! This is impossible! I thought maybe it might go down by today... but it didn't, I don't know what to do anymore, you guys are lucky because for me whenever I try to lose weight it always seems to all come back in one day like it did now... but I don't even pig out or anything so I don't understand I've been doing great and I don't look like I gained any weight back but the scale says I gained 5 pounds. Wouldn't I have notice if I gained 5 pounds overnight!? Anyways, for the weight loss contest, I'm just letting everybody know that I did lose weight, and I tried so hard and I was so so SO HAPPY and then all of a sudden it all came back overnight, I really did try so hard guys I don't know what to do I just want to cry I feel so depressed I just don't understand and don't say I should have weighed myself at night or that it was food or water making me heavy... I don't know what itwas... all I know is that it was 5 pounds so I lost the contest for sure already even tho its tomorrow... I really did try hard though, and I ate great and exercised but I guess it's just never going to happen for me. I can't take this it's not a game just when I was so happy somebody always has to knock me down I don't understand why it came back :'( I swear tho, I really did try...really really hard :(

Don't worry, first of all, the time of day matters when you weighed yourself. The second biggest key is that it was probably just water weight. Remember drink lots of water! Also, no, you wouldn't notice if you lost 5, and the gained 5 back. Trust me, I've lost 6 and haven't even noticed it.
