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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
