I'm down about 9 lbs. However, yesterday I was down a total of 12 lbs. I think I may have over done the cheese and nitrates. Any opinions?

You may have over done things. But as a general rule, weight loss is not linear. Lots of little ups and downs along the journey.

Thanks. I probably didn't drink enough plain water either.

9 lbs (or 12 lbs) in one week is pretty amazing, if you ask me. Nice work!

Thanks. I didn't do anything but mostly follow the diet. I had a date one night so I cheated a bit.

If seeing the scales edge up as well as down from day to day is likely to upset you and make you doubt what you are doing then it might be better to only weigh once a week or fortnight.

If you can feel it is just an interesting fact that scales weight varies wildly from day to day often for no reason at all, and maybe make it a sort of scientific experiment to log every little bump in your lowcarb journey, then carry on weighing!!
