male only Gaining after a year

[SuperKen 229]

I'm down 87 lbs since surgery last year but gained 7lbs the last two weeks. But I know why: I'm eating too many Snacks and not drinking Water. The mental stuff that made us fat before is still there.

Im struggling too but I know what I need to do: destress and stick to the program. A support group isn't something I've done before but may now. I just need the reset button and to talk to people to understand.

Man it's crazy how we all can be sooooo similar. I'm down 131lbs since surgery 10/14/13. Over the last 2 months I stalled and then gained 7 1/2 lbs and it's all from snacking and not drinking enough Water. I think the only thing that kept from gaining more weight is that I rigorously workout 5 days a week and I walk everywhere. I'm terrified of gaining the weight back; so when I saw that Ai actually gained I freaked out! I need to find a support group to attend in the Los Angeles area ASAP!

I have been struggling with this as well. I have planned a reset for January 1st. I am going back to Protein shakes for a week or 2 then going back to the basics. The holidays killed me. Too many conveinent foods. I blame myself though. This is a tough time for alot of people. We just have to stay strong.

I gained 5 lbs over Thanksgiving and decided I'd had enough and wasn't waiting for a magical date to start. I reached my "I'm comfortable with this weight" goal of 185 (I'm 5'10"ish), and was there for a year. I had to stop my intense exercises for plastic surgery and while recovering started snacking too much at Halloween and Thanksgiving.

I started the reset on Nov 30th and I've stuck with 3 meals and one good snack a day. A Protein Shake for Breakfast keeps me from going carb crazy. As of today, I'm down 15 pounds. That's in one month! I was a slow loser and don't think I ever lost 15 lbs except the first month after surgery. I want to go a bit lower so I can run at a faster pace and not hurt my joints.
