Weighing more on a Monday is common.
That does not mean your weight loss has stopped working.
A higher scale weight after the weekend can be down to food volume, salt, carbs, alcohol, hormones, digestion and water retention.
The problem is what happens next.
You see the number.
You panic.
You think it’s not working.
You start another diet.
That cycle is what holds you back.
The scales are data. We look at the overall weight trend over time before we start changing calories, food or the plan.
So if Monday is higher, crack on as normal.
Eat your usual food.
Do your steps.
Get your workouts done.
Weigh again Friday.
It’s your reaction that’s holding you back, not the number 🧡
