This weekend I gained 2.6lbs!!!

I had a birthday party on Saturday and yesterday I just had no self control. I'm okay with it. This actually happens almost every weekend and still by the end of the next week I almost always have a loss.

How much weight did you gain (or lose) this weekend?

    Some weekends I nearly gain 2lbs, this weekend I managed to only gain 0.5lbs though so I feel like the longer I'm going through this process the more self control I have. Don't worry about a little splurge though, we can't cut out everything or when you stop dieting you'll gain everything back xx keep positive

    Its only water weight - Did you really eat 7,000+ calories over your maintenance??? NO!!

    Just get back to normal, drink lots of water.... And OMG the 2.6lbs has magically gone???

    I don't know. I know I didn't eat an extra 3,500+ calories so probably...none.

    If I overdo it at one meal, the next meal I go light. Seems to work for me.

    I'm up almost 3 lbs. But, considering the amount of strenous work I did this weekend I'm sure it's water.

    I gained 0.6lbs this weekend. Which is really nothing, even a 5lb gain wouldn't be anything to make me worry. I know my weight fluctuates. I had a bunch of bread yesterday that I normally don't eat. No biggie.

    Every weekend was a weekend weight gain for me for a very long time. I would gain over the weekend, just to try to exercise and diet like crazy during the week - what a never ending cycle. This weekend I was determined to break it - no sabotages and no alcohol. I lost two pounds. I think I'm on to something...

    Gained a pound but I'm fairly sure it's mostly water weight. I did go over my caloric limit, but only up to maintenance +/- 100kcal or so; what got me was the carbs, which I usually keep low.

    This is the first weekend in months that i have not gained anything. I usually gain 3-5 pounds every weekend but if I eat right for about 3-4 days it goes back down only to cycle back up over the weekend and the cycle continues..........

    2 lbs. :neutral_face: UGH! I went to Atlantic City Saturday and grabbed fast food last night. I feel gross but I hopped back on to my plan first thing this morning.

    Breakfast lunch and snack consumed for 750 cal
    Walked for 70 minutes thus far today. We can do this!

    I'm always either really good or really bad on weekends... this past weekend I was on the road both days so went more towards "bad". However, although I gained 1 pound I'm sure I didn't eat THAT much over maintenance, so it's water weight... annoying, but won't be with me too long. The first time this happened I felt awful; now I'm used to it.

    weekends I put on 3-5lbs average and by Tuesday its gone. Could be water, could be food. Not sure, but it can get frustrating

    I usually gain 3-5lbs on the weekend. Yesterday I weighed and I was 3+ and now today it is gone. I know that this past weekend it was sodium intake...other weekends, who knows. I just know it shows up and then disappears within a day or two as Iong as I drink lots of water and workout.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've been averaging 1.5 pounds lost per week but how I get there isn't a very straight line! :smile: I usually gain 2-3 pounds over the weekend, lose that back by Tuesday or Wednesday, then drop the other 1.5 pounds over the next couple of days before repeating the cycle! Would be a lot smarter to cut out the alcohol on the weekends and just continue but since I'm still losing at the "recommended" rate, there is little motivation to change.
