I think my metabolism sucks.

Sorry and to the point. Went on a 9 day business trip to Europe. I expected to gain a couple lbs because of the fantastic, traditional culinary foods - and knowing my options wouldn't be my usual. Nevertheless, I traveled with a colleague who was also using another diet app Loseit. I left home weighing in at 215.0... came home at 220... Okay, I did expect to gain, but that seemed more than I expected in just 9 days...

So checking in with my colleague, he also gained.. But he gained .2 That's POINT 2 OF A POUND!

How can that be? We ate mostly the same things, we walked over 20,000 steps on many days. Of course I indulged in some of the best, most delicious European foods I've ever had, and I expected to gain a few and was good with that, but now I'm up 7 lb in 10 days. That seems like a lot. Btw, he doesn't have much to lose if anything... He's thin by most standards..

Since I've been home I thought that it might disappear quickly once I got back in my weight loss routine. I've been snowshoeing, shoveling snow, active outside but my new 7lb seems to have found a home.

I'm sure everyone deals with this anchor system that or bodies have, but how can I kick start my metabolism? Next week due to several holiday functions will be another week of indulging a little., I realize that I may not be able to lose..., but if I can just be in maintenance mode, if be happy. I just do not want to gain.

By the way, I only went over maintenance caloric intake a couple times. The rest of my days would be considered "maintenance mode"... But like I said, my waking steps were up big time.

Any suggestions or support? Keep snarky comments to yourself please.

Thanks.

Air travel bloats me like no other...I can easily put on 8 Lbs of water weight by simply getting on and off a plane.

Same here.

I leave for Tanzania on Thursday...I'm pretty sure after 28 hours of travel that I'm going to get off the plane looking like this...

This is me after long haul. Cankle city.

Yup. I'm doing a transatlantic flight next week, coming back NYE. The only saving grace is that going over, is also when I'm expecting cyclical water weight (and I won't have a scale in the hotel), and I'm expecting said same water weight to still be there when I get back. It's not going to be pretty.

Did you fly on a plane? There’s your answer.

Can you please elaborate? I fly several times per month and would like to understand what you mean. Thx

The dry, low pressure air tends to make people feel more thirsty than they would in a similar situation at ground level, like taking a bus, even for a few hours after the flight. So they drink more water.

Most people become dehydrated while traveling because they don't drink enough, so I don't think that drinking too much is the reason. Air travel does mess with your body.

Well, in theory, 2450 calories per day over maintenance for 10 days is not impossible but it's highly unlikely.

I can *easily* do that. Pretty sure I'm not a unicorn...

If you were you would be included in my collection.

My biggest was 15lb, but usually it's around 10lb.

Oh deity. If that happens ... No. I cannot let that happen. I don't know how to stop it, but that puts my weight at a number I haven't been in 18 months, and nope nope nope nope nope.

The total spike was actually 12lbs. 10 of it whooshed off over a week or so, the residual was actual gain (two week eat all the things holiday, I expected worse!). Pro tip, don't weight for a day or two if it's going to freak you out. I just found it amusing as I know I puff up but had never weighed to know how much.
