Shari & Cynthia , where are you in your cycle?
Now I eat at maintenance, it's really very interesting to see what the scale does just as a function of where I am in my cycle. Nearly regardless of what I eat it will go DOWN in the first 2 weeks and then BAM it will be UP 1 kg (again regardless of what I eat) 1-2 days before I ovulate (mostly CD17) , go down for a bit and then UP again towards TOM.
Used to always think it was due to calorie/carb intake and while that's another factor, hormonal influences are WAY more important. Now I know exactly at what day I ovulate, any hormonal wt gain is no longer a mystery.. I'd rather be very surprised when this wouldn't happen.

So.. hang in there girls and.. look at the rolling averages of like 2 weeks (if you can bear it, even 1 month!)
