Usually if I stop weighing myself by the time I get back on the scale I'm up 10 or 12 pounds. I've been pretty good this summer about watching my weight, and although I'm up - about 3 lbs - from my pre-summer weight, I'm feeling great that I haven't done the freefall gain that has been my norm for the summer months.
