Hey Jennifer, I read your post on the message board. Don't be hard on yourself. Have you been drinking all your water? Have you had regular bowel movements? This all can play a part in what you think is gain. It happen to me a week ago I gained a pound. I freaked out! I was constipated, and not getting all my water in. I hadn't been walking my 15-20 minutes either. Once I focused on those things. I took benefiber, increased my water and walker 15 minutes 2 times a day and the following week I lost the 1 pound and 4 more buddies. Don't get discourage! Keep your mind on what you know you should be doing and that scale will move. Take Care
