How to overcome an unwanted gain

Jhitch01

I was doing really well and lost a little over 15 lbs in a month. I then had a gain which I'm trying to bounce back from but it really hit my morale hard. I'm curious how everyone else handles that sort of thing.

Just dicks to your plan. Try to lose 1 lb per week rather than 4. It's easier, safer, and healthier.

Fixed it for you (although your version is definitely funnier).

I've gained 7 lbs since Christmas, after losing 30 in the past year. I worked out today. I have to exercise or I'll forever be on the diet roller coaster.

Just keep going. Weight loss isn't linear, so there could be a host of reasons as to why you gained, but most of them won't be fat. If it goes on for another couple of weeks, then you'll want to take a look at your logging to see what you can tighten up.

One thing I can recommend is to have your healthy diet, and low calorie intake give you morale, not the specific result on a scale. As long as you keep up with your goal deficit calorie intake, you will lose weight. My weight can fluctuate more than 5lb's depending on the water retention, or time of the day. Weight is not a stable number. Just focus on your diet, and how well you're doing

The biggest tip I can offer is to keep in mind that weight-loss is not linear. Here's a snapshot of my last 12 months. This does not include 13 additional pounds lost in the 5 weeks previous. Just keep going!
