Gained 5 Pounds In A Week From Thansgiving:(



Recommended Posts

I have gained any weight in the last 6 months+! How do I get motivated again after feeling so disappointed?

In order to gain 5 pounds in one week, you'd have to consume 17,500 extra calories. That is roughly 2500 extra calories a day for a week.

It's highly unlikely.

Could you have eaten a lot of salt/sodium? Or possibly even your "time of the month" coming?

Salty gravy, salty stuffing, stress of the holiday, TOM??? It seems unrealistic.

All I know is I weighed last Wednesday on the same scale and was five pounds heavier:( period ended right before thanksgiving:( maybe I should weigh again, lol. Idk, I'm really disappointed in myself because I really didn't think I overdid it too much:)

Don't feel guilty!! I dont know how much or if I gained any weight ,but you can rest to sure that we are not the only ones that ate more than we would normally eat. So no stressin and what I do is stay away from the scale until weight in ;)

Ms chocolate, how often do you weigh in? I'm inconsistent. Sometimes it's every 3-4 days or once a week.

It takes a few days for the lbs to catch up.... But today start upping your Water and get back to measuring food and counting calories...before that number becomes insurmountable

I know you didn't ask me. But i will volunteer it.... It I weigh in 2 x a day...morning and night, I know it's excessive but not getting on the scale for the majority of my life got me to 377 lbs...so I figure it doesn't hurt. ;)

I weighed in this week and I lost nothing. The old me would have been tempted to quit. What I do know is I am doing what I am supposed to do and that I won't always lose but I am in for the long haul. I can't expect to lose at once it took a while to put it on.

Stay. Strong and stick to your plan

It's gonna be okay. I've lost 170 in less than 3 years and during that time gained 5 lbs like 15 times. Just get back to what you know works. Be kind and loving to yourself. The big changes come once you decide to really like who you are and stop listening to the shameful voices.

I am right with you. I will be one year out next month and this is the first gain for me. Tomorrow is a new day and we can both start fresh! We can do it. I started on the higher Water intake today. Good Luck girl you can do it!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
