Oh I am so sorry this is happening to you, and I am pretty sure from what I read in the posts it happens to others as well. I am sure tomorrow will be better. Don't give up. 

Yes....DO NOT GIVE UP...You have done great losing.This is your first gain since you started this WOE.Girl I have bounced the same couple of pounds for the last 2 months.This week,no matter what I did,I stayed the same.Hang in there.You know what to do,just keep it up.((hug)) nonna 

Girl where are your veggies? Not seeing many listed on your tracker.... 

DON'T GIVE UP! It is a huge accomplishment that you have decreased in lbs every weigh in but this one. This isn't a set back, this is a learning tool. We can all help you look at your diet calander and exercises to see if you want our tips. Again, only if you want them. For now don't sweat it. You will bounce back as long as you stick with it. We are here for support and help. Let us know if you want critique or want advice.  

You may need to adjust your calories. No matter what diet you are on, if you take in more than you are burning off you can gain. You had one super high caloric day on Tuesday. Even on Atkins, you can gain from that. It depends on you and your metabolism, age, activity level, genetics, etc. Try a week of eating 1500 or 1600 a day and see what happens. It could also be water weight. Google "why the scale lies" form some insight. When you gain like that, look at your calories, foods you are eating, hormones, sodium intake, etc. to judge what is going on. Good luck! 

Thanks everyone. I am not going to quit. That is a given. a change in lifestyle is a fact for me. Ice I am listening to you... I am trying to increase the veggies and will work harder to do so. I am going to go get my nails and toes done and relax this afternoon. This weekend will be a whirwind of hous cleaning as my husband has invited people over tomorrow. I may work more on painting the fence and cleaning up the yard. These activities will hopefully help. Thanks again..... 

Elizabeth, remember that you are not getting the amount of exercise you usually do this week, since you are working from home. Probably not walking as much, and perhaps (unconsciously) eating more than you would at the office...it'll go back down...don't fret, Pilgrim! A two pound gain may just be from water retention...make sure you are drinking all your water, get up and move, even if it is just walking around the house, and eat some veggies...have a salad with vinegar and oil for lunch. But whatever you do, don't you dare give up....it is only when we quit that we have truly failed! Hugs! 

It could be the flaxseed but not making you actually gain 2 pounds. I just started adding flaxseed into my diet and for the first week or so I was up a few pounds because it has a lot of fiber and sometimes it can mess up your bm's. (sorry its gross I know) but once you get use to it the weight comes off. a tablespoon of ground flaxseed is only about 30 calories. 

Thanks Allie. I really feel as if it might be related to the flax seed. I am not regular and have a problem with that. I can't help but think it might be filling me up with fiber. have gone more this week than normal but ... Who knows. All I can say is that I am really upset over this. My dear darling had the audacity the other night to ask if my 'flappy do' (his term for my belly was growing!!! I could have killed him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At that point, it was only 2 pounds and I KNOW he could not see it. But it hit a nerve for sure.
