I used to only weigh every week and I showed a weight gain I a one week period of 8.6 pounds. I didn’t weigh again for two weeks and had lost 14.4 pounds in those two weeks. I didn’t change anything I was doing in that period just had a drastic fluctuation. CRAZY!!! I don’t stress about it anymore. I just keep doing what I’m doing. Down 90 pounds since Sept 9 2019.
Thank you for this video! I really needed to hear this! My weight has always fluctuated and it drives me nuts! I’ve got to learn how to emotionally detached myself from the scales 😱
Great video!!! You are so right about the carbs and salt giving you a gain. So knowing that this is only a temporary gain means I can still have my Chinese food and Pizza YAY :)
I soo needed this video on weight fluctuations. This month I really wanted to break into the next 10 pound range down on the scale. I've been so fixated at getting to that number and my body is just not cooperating. I've got to let it go, trust the process and keep following my plan. I also have to really consider recording my weight daily. I have been weighing everyday but only recording when I lose because I wanted that downward trend on the graph (how messed up is that?). Anyway, taking a deep breath and entering December with no expectations except to do the best I can everyday. Thank you, Thank you!
Rhonda, I totally get that way of thinking though. That was so me at one point. I hope your December goes really well. Just stay as consistent as possible, and eventually the scale will catch up with your efforts! (;
I love your suggestion to view the scale as a tool for collecting data, but not dictating how you feel about yourself💟 I was SUPER hesitant to use your system of weighing myself everyday. Especially since I rarely do it but maybe once a year. Well, I've been doing it for almost 2 weeks and I'm already seeing the advantage of a 7 day average! I did gain some over Thanksgiving, but I'm already back on a downward trend😀
I enjoyed reading in your book about experimenting with your weight loss journey as if you are conducting a science experiment with yourself as the subject. This mindset can be helpful when experiencing weight fluctuations (like I did this morning). Trying to not stress over the scale is difficult for me.
Again, thank you so much Margo for buying my book! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm so totally still a work in progress about not stressing over the scale, especially if I'm being hormonal! 😉 I've come a long way though!
I'm a once a month weigher too. I hate getting on the scales. I keep a track of the months weight. So far it's down, though sometimes only half a kilo. If I'm doing Omad I or even 16/8 I'm sure I'll be ok. So far so good.
Yeah, I lose track of time. And even days. And sometimes what month it is. So monthly weighing would be disastrous for me. But as always, I say do whatever works for YOU! (:
In the last seven days, three pounds. I used to have more of an emotional attachment to the number when I was younger, these days not so much. I’ve been roughly the same weight for the last five five years. I was content and accepting. Current mindset: Let’s see if I can lose weight slowly with IF. I’ve lost a little over 12 pounds total. I’m more consistent these days and trends are improving. Have a nice day Kayla!
Lori, I love that attitude! I think it's so sustainable. So much better than doing the unsustainable thing that you won't stick with, and then gain the weight back!
I have not lost much weight in the week I have been doing OMAD but I feel like I am melting inside a bit- I feel different- its a good feeling, I feel lighter
Thank you! My weight fluctuates up to 5lbs. Wake up in the morning 141 then after walking for 4miles it goes down to 136lbs.then in the evening it goes up again, so frustrating.
I really needed this video this morning! Up 4lbs this morning but I know it's from the salty foods I had yesterday while shopping with my besties. Thanks to you I'm not worried about it. Right back to "cleaner" eating today and the weight will go down. 40 lbs down since July. 40 more to go. Keep the videos coming. You are an awesome motivator. We all love you! 💙💙💙😄😄😄
Just started IF 16:8 1 week ago and if I hadn't been watching your videos and methods, I might have quit in frustration. But I'm weighing every day, averaging the last few days, and my average has decreased by just over a pound in 8 days! Woohoo!
Spot on again! Great advice! My daughter and I have a love hate relationship with our scales...but we've learned no to take the numbers personally! Lol!
It's really hard to stay motivated seeing the scale go up 8lbs and staying there for going on a week now. I'm on my cycle...but my motivation to stick to this plan is wavering.
Well this week my weight went up 10lbs and I probably ate less then at any other time but I did have watermelon and I always add a little sea salt to it which is probably where the excess weight came from. I need to start weighing myself daily like Kayla does in order to see the changes I need to make to keep my weight loss going in the right direction. ✌️😎
I’m down 12 pounds with 30 more to go. I gain about 2 pounds after my free day. The rest of the time around a pound. But it eventually evens out to a loss at some point....
Thank you for your videos. They got me started in a simple non stressful way. I am OMAD but I just went straight to it...now I am never hungry or have any cravings. It’s odd!
Thank you for your video your inspire me a lot. I lost 9 kgs since last October. My plan is to lost total 25 kgs. I start intermittent fasting he helps me but now I face plateau it is very hard . Nothing move down on the scale only fluctuating up about 2 kgs and back forward...that kills me! Another thing is that I have to lunch with customer I hate that but it is a part of my job. I hate it since a start omad there was Christmas time to face as well...social life is hard since îm on this journey.
I keep losing and gaining the same two pounds 😔 really stressing... but I feel great started intermittent fasting 2 weeks in no change on scale but see little changes in the mirror

I may weight several times weekly but only my Sunday morning weigh in is put on my calendar and put in my apps. After my weekend (sun-mon) I can be up 3 pounds and over the next few days the water weight goes away. I'm a guy and it floored me that I have water weight gain, but I know it now. Didn't notice it till I dropped my first 50 pounds.
Oh... i put my scales in the trash because i became a crazy person totally obcessed with it ...im better now i go to the chemist once a month @ wiegh ...thats best for me because i know im doing every thing.right so im not bothered now ...each to there own....if l have gained inthat month i give my self a telling off OUTloud @ get right back to basics ... i know im only cheating myself ....so you just gotta keep chipping away ...
Thanks for the video. Rice, pasta, salt and sugar make me hold water, and loads of it. I feel like a camel 🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪. I usually want to throw the scales and smash them into 1000 pieces, but changing to averaging my weight for the first time ever I am being more realistic and am in it for the loooong haul! my fluctuations can be up to and a bit over 2kgs ( 4 pounds). I am gathering my data more consistently now by weighing every day, and will be able to see trends after a few months of the new logging system.
My weight has gone up 6 lbs since October. (After losing 24 lbs and wanting to lose just a few more. ) I’ve done IF for 18 mos and do low carb during my eating window. Do you have any strategy tips for me? And yes, clothes are also tighter.
@@SixMilesToSupper thank you for replying. My weight usually go up after the weekend ,like 3-5 pounds . I think I can never emotionally detach myself from the scale :(. And also I started OMAD finally. It's my day two . Yay!
Weight isn’t the best, or even a very good, marker of health. It seems to me that a pound or two either way is normal. The swings you’re talking about might indicate that a change in food is needed.
I disagree about weight not being a good marker of health. According to the research I did when I was heavy (and trying to be okay with being heavy!) being overweight is simply detrimental to your health. I was having trouble breathing at night, and overall I just did not feel that great, when I was obese. Now that I'm at a healthy weight, I feel fantastic. And I'm not planning on changing the foods I'm eating. Weight fluctuations are normal for everyone, even though some people fluctuate more than others.
I was in no way suggesting that being heavy can be healthy. I don’t believe in ‘Fat but Fit’. What I was saying is that being thin doesn’t automatically mean good health. I’m sure that you feel better in general but I wonder about metabolic health if you’re experiencing the weight fluctuations you were talking about. I think I saw in a previous video that you wanted to lose weight without giving up any foods, and I’m glad it worked for you. I’m a little surprised that after losing weight you haven’t moved to healthier foods. The are too many thin type2 diabetics in the world to believe that low weight always means good health.
My personal philosophy on food is to eat what you want, just not too much, and not worry. I've researched how people eat worldwide, and that's simply my conclusion. Professor Haub's Twinkie diet experiment was quite interesting to me as well.
I used to only weigh every week and I showed a weight gain I a one week period of 8.6 pounds. I didn’t weigh again for two weeks and had lost 14.4 pounds in those two weeks.

I'm glad it was timely. And I'm telling you, if I can emotionally detach from the scale, anybody can do it! It just takes daily practice. (:
Great video!!! You are so right about the carbs and salt giving you a gain. So knowing that this is only a temporary gain means I can still have my Chinese food and Pizza YAY :)
Oh yeah! 2 of my favorite foods!!!
Brilliant!!! I've had weight swing 11-12 lbs in 1 day of eating not so healthy or even healthy food.

Some people weigh them self once a month just to avoid stress of looking at the scale. My weight can go up 8 lbs and then back down. Nice toes!
I'm a once a month weigher too. I hate getting on the scales. I keep a track of the months weight. So far it's down, though sometimes only half a kilo. If I'm doing Omad I or even 16/8 I'm sure I'll be ok. So far so good.

And congrats on your 12 pound loss! That is awesome!
So far this week, my weight has been going down. Yay!
Woo hoo!
I have not lost much weight in the week I have been doing OMAD but I feel like I am melting inside a bit- I feel different- its a good feeling, I feel lighter
That's great! The weight comes off, it just takes time. (:
Thank you! My weight fluctuates up to 5lbs. Wake up in the morning 141 then after walking for 4miles it goes down to 136lbs.then in the evening it goes up again, so frustrating.

Fluctuations are really hard, especially on your cycle. Just stick with it. This too shall pass.
THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO! ♡♡
Aw, glad you enjoyed it, Carlene!
Thank you so much, this video helped me out so much. 👍
Well this week my weight went up 10lbs and I probably ate less then at any other time but I did have watermelon and I always add a little sea salt to it which is probably where the excess weight came from. I need to start weighing myself daily like Kayla does in order to see the changes I need to make to keep my weight loss going in the right direction. ✌️😎
Daily weighing certainly helps me see a clearer picture of what's really going on. (:
Omg thank you for this. I have the same scale. ❤❤❤❤❤
So needed this!
I’m down 12 pounds with 30 more to go. I gain about 2 pounds after my free day. The rest of the time around a pound.
But it eventually evens out to a loss at some point....
Congratulations on your weight loss so far. And thank you for sharing that about the fluctuation after your free day. (:
Thank you for your videos. They got me started in a simple non stressful way.
I am OMAD but I just went straight to it...now I am never hungry or have any cravings. It’s odd!
That's awesome!
Seeing my weight go up RUINS my day ...
Mine too😢

Yes! Even guys experience this! Even my husband, who's a very thin guy, has his weight fluctuate by several pounds. (:

Thank you for sharing what's working for you, Henrietta! I'm the type that loses track of time, so the daily habit keeps me on track! 😉
I do that too- I pay a little and get a complete reading- and no crazy daily worry about my weight
I really appreciate your videos, Kayla. You look great and i love your attitude.
I was wondering if you have any problems with loose skin?
Thanks for the video. Rice, pasta, salt and sugar make me hold water, and loads of it. I feel like a camel 🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪. I usually want to throw the scales and smash them into 1000 pieces, but changing to averaging my weight for the first time ever I am being more realistic and am in it for the loooong haul! my fluctuations can be up to and a bit over 2kgs ( 4 pounds). I am gathering my data more consistently now by weighing every day, and will be able to see trends after a few months of the new logging system.
My weight fluctuate between 199 and 205. But it's not trending down it just keeps doing the same thing
How long has it been stuck there?
Until just now. Now it's between 196 and 198
My weight has gone up 6 lbs since October. (After losing 24 lbs and wanting to lose just a few more. ) I’ve done IF for 18 mos and do low carb during my eating window. Do you have any strategy tips for me? And yes, clothes are also tighter.
Scales lie, your belt doesn't. A scale is tool, but not your only tool.
how much time did it take you lose last 10 pounds, that is to say from 155 to 145? Did it take usual time . or the wt loss gets slowly ?
Very slowly. About one third of one pound a week on average. (:
@@SixMilesToSupper will it be true for everybody ?
Everyone is different! Some lose quicker, some lose slower. (:
@@SixMilesToSupper thank you for replying. My weight usually go up after the weekend ,like 3-5 pounds . I think I can never emotionally detach myself from the scale :(. And also I started OMAD finally. It's my day two . Yay!
Emotionally detaching from the scale takes time and practice. Congratulations on starting OMAD. I hope you let me know how it goes for you!
I just don't weigh anymore!
Historically, I that's when I start to gain, when I just stop weighing. But that's just what works for me. (:
Weighing scale doesn't tell you everything
You are absolutely right! But if your goal is to lose weight, the scale will let you know whether that's happening or not.

You do you. I'll do me. How about that? 😉
