Totally feel this…I went back to gym after 10days off and had a 4lb swing…it came back down finally but it doesn’t annoy any less 🙄🤷‍♀️🫶

I'm 15 months in remission from obesity ("maintenance") and 4 years into my GLP-1 excursion. Not sure if this will help, but going to share anyhow.

The scale does this *all the time*. Up 5, down 2, up 3, down 4... my own range is 6 lbs. - between 125 and 131... and it's been like that for over a year, therefore, at least for me, it's entirely "normal."

Nyk, if I tried to figure out why the scale went up or down every time, I would be driven loca because, in reality, there are surely over a million reasons/causes/things/etc. that can change the scale.

I like to remind people that the scale is less than 150 years old for people. There were scales for foodstuff and livestock, but not people until the late 1800s.

I hope this helps at least a tiny bit. You really are doing fantastic!

Thank you so much for this!! I def agree! The scale is mystery and that’s okay.

A mystery is a fantastic way to describe the scale! Love it!!
