I weighed myself in January and noticed the roughly ten-pound gain, and got right back to NoS (as I'd always planned, of course). The other day, I weighed myself again (I don't do that regularly), and I saw exactly the same weight (ten pounds up from my steady post-NoS weight) as I'd seen back in January.
Here's my chance to practice all those things I preach to newcomers (I've been doing NoS for 2.5 years, now): don't panic, be patient, stick to the habits, focus on behaviour rather than the number on a scale.
I am, as we speak, not panicking.
I know NoS works, it's done it before and it'll do it again (I lost 20 pounds my first year, and it's stayed off until this blip). Also, I'm not convinced the scale really knows what it's talking about: over the same two months, my belt has gotten a full notch tighter (and the notches are about an inch apart, so that's about an inch off the waist). So something good is happening, and maybe I was just unusually heavy that day, for whatever reason. I'll check again in a month and see what the scale has to say for itself. Meanwhile, I'm eating moderately, so in the long term I'm all set.
