Hi Everyone: I have been on the program just two weeks. In the first week I lost 7lbs. then the second week gained 2lbs. So not sure if this is normal or not. I DID NOT cheat at all. Stayed on track. But thought maybe it was in me? Any Advise???

Relax, it probably will level itself out by your next visit. There's a good chance that it's just water weight (besides a 7 lb. first week loss is FANTASTIC!).
Check out this article on the GENERAL board about water weight.

Yes, it's perfectly normal.
It also could be any number of things you don't think about such as the clothes you're wearing, your time of month, humidity, bowel movements, etc. Don't worry too much about it. Just stay on plan because you're doing great! And welcome to JC!!!

hey 7 minus 2 still means 5 lbs lighter, which is a good thing. i also recall reading somewhere that our bodies naturally fluctuate (spelling? sorry) 1 to 2 lbs in weight each day due to water and other intakes. maybe you didn't get enough to drink that first weigh in? I don't know, but i bet the next time you weigh in you will see that scale go down again.
Hang in there.

HI,
Keep up with your water (plain water is best, when I drink unsweetened decaf tea, I see weight flucations). STAY ON THE Menu PLAN! Keep exercising or find a new thing you want to try like Zumba classes or lap swimming (something I am going to do when YMCA finishes moving to their new facility).
And keep coming back here to talk to all of us. I am a professional dieter at age 49 so I know what I need to do, just need to do it!!!
Success to all of us...

Yes, it is perfectly normal! My first four WI were: down 8, down 6, up 2, down 3. I have been on JC for nine months now. My losses have fluctuated a lot and there is the occasional "gain" - but overall I have lost 93 lbs in nine months. I have learned that you have to look at the big picture and not each individual week. The program does work - I promise.

I agree with everyone....perfectly normal!
Keep in mind, weight can be fluctuated by so many things....hormones, menstrual cycle, too much sodium, meds, heat, activity.....the list goes on and on.
Hang in there....you will meet your goal if you stay determined
