JILLIAN'S TIP OF THE DAY
Losses and Gains

On the scale last night, some players lost weight, while others unfortunately gained. For so many of us, just looking at the scale stresses us with that dreaded thought that we might have gained — yikes! But gaining weight should not be an opportunity for self-loathing — it's a learning experience. If you do see a gain, you just need to re-evaluate your situation. Have you been tracking your calories? Have you been working out hard enough?
The scale is just a tool, a compass to see where we are on or off track. It's up to you to get back on track and not just give up just because of a little gain. In order to use the scale effectively, you should weigh yourself once a week, at the same time, on the same day, wearing similar clothing, and most importantly ON THE SAME SCALE. Keep in mind that weight loss may fluctuate on a daily basis, and certainly on a weekly basis, because of hormones and fluid retention.
