Gaining Stinks

  • my overseas bf was in town for 10 days and I started out gd, but he eats more and more ofter then me so we'd be somewhere and Id snack on bad foods because of the smell and eat a meal with him even when I wasnt hungry.
    I gained like 3lbs in 5 days
    yesterday I was stricter with my calories
    see my fitday, and will try to be again today.
    has anyone had ths experience? did u bounce backwell? I did at xmas but thats it.
  • Yeah, that's happened to me several times. Sometimes 2 or 3 pounds in one weekend of splurging. I think a lot of times it's truly water weight. It always comes of easy for me though. I think new fat has less hanging power. It leaves with less force than old fat. I think you'll have it off in no time!
  • I think it comes off quicker too... Especially if you eat a consistent amount of calories during the week, the splurge confuses your body and when you go back to normal, it panics... and drops the weight. Don't worry, you'll be back on track in no time!!
  • Man, sometimes the scale will hop around 3 pounds on me in a matter of a day or a meal. I wouldn't worry!
  • just happened to me too recently (3 pounds bounceback) even though my caloric intake is about the same and I exercise 6x a week. I can only hope that it's muscle weight---or that I just happened to retain fluids. I shall find out with this weekend's weigh-in.
  • I had a 2# set back just a few days ago. I was totally bummed as I thought that I had been doing better. But I totally forgot to take into account that you weigh more at night and water weight. 1.5# of mine has gone over the last day or so, I am sure yours will too.
  • But that's part of life! You're going to splurge at certain times, and put on a couple of pounds. It might suck when you're losing, but its going to happen once you're off the "weight loss" phase anyway. So look at it as a learning tool.
  • Sorry for being a hog baby...

    Im much better now!!

    Ive lost 7lbs since I got back home from the UK!
  • cool, all my gain is gone
