Hey Mountaindew,I know it is frustrating not to see what you want to see on the scales,but you are doing ok really,a pound or two out isn't really a big deal.I am 317 pounds and I want to get to 140 pounds so I have to lose 177 pounds so that is way out.Just be patient and yes fluids can vary the weight up and down so that is annoying but at least there are no massive swings for you in the wrong direction,eh?
