So I've been weighing myself at the gym and I was losing a pound a day for a few days (SCORE!). Then today I weighed myself and I gained 6 pounds overnight

I am under 5' tall and I'd have to eat like it's Christmas for two weeks straight to put on six pounds…and it would really show. So I know that reading can't be right…so I checked several more times while repositioning the scale. Apparently I might have lost as much as 2.5 lb since yesterday (impossible) or gained as much as 7 lb since yesterday (also impossible).

So the good news is I did not, in fact, put on six pounds in my sleep and I know my weight within a 10-lb range (that's at least a pant size for someone my size). The bad news is I have no idea what I actually weigh and whether my new routine is working.

I need to order a scale of my own. I really don't like the idea of having a scale in my bathroom but it is a good way to quickly gauge progress. Bummer.

(((Sherbert))), It sounds like that scale needs to be recalibrated. Perhaps you could ask the gym to check it, that way you don't have to buy your own. I think your clothes would be a good indicator if you had put on 7 lbs since yesterday. Be well!!!
Thanks for this!
