Weight loss is not a steady downward path. If you read this group you will
find that it is very common to have stalls and even occasional rises in weight. Remember, a pint of water weighs a pound, so it's real easy for your water retention to vary by a couple of pounds or even more. I find that I go down three or four pounds, then back up a couple, then slowly back down three or four more, these cycles take several days but over time the trend is downward. You are getting concerned way too soon.

It could merely be normal fluctuation, which is why you are advised to wait at least a week between weighings. A glass of water can make you 'gain' a pound, so you really need to look at trends over a longer period. revek |

It should not cause weight gain. Hypothryoidism, which is the reason for taking Synthroid, *will* make your metabolism more sluggish. (I am hypothryoid and take Synthroid, too.) You may have just hit a little plateau after the quick weight loss (which was mostly fluids). Hang in there and give it some time. - Anne |
