Oh my gosh. I was doing great until my birthday rolled around this weekend. I put on 6 pounds! Thursday night was celebrating with the best friend, Friday my roommates took me out and then Saturday I was at home celebrating with the family.

6 pounds!

I'm just starting this week where I left off--counting calories and having self control. But it is so discouraging to see the damage I've done. :ohwell:

One day at a time, I know that's how I've got to take it

    I hear ya... at the end of January I had a weekend of fun, and put on just as much.... It's taken me until now to finally get it off again! As discouraging as it is, you just got to keep pressing forward. It will come off!

    I highly doubt those six pounds were "real." As in, it would take a lot to gain six pounds of actual fat in that little bit of time, so it's probably mostly water weight. :flowerforyou:

    You had the weekend, but you can start fresh tomorrow! I wonder if some of those 6 pounds isn't just water retention from sodium, too.

    Ditto. 6lbsx3500=21000cals+ additional 6000cals or so of maintenance is 27000 cals you would have had to inject this weekend. Is is mainly water and refuse. And as others have recommended "PLEASE step away from the scale":smile:

    Happy birthday! :drinker: 21 is a big one. Do you have a leap year birthday? Mine is tomorrow, but 22 is boring after 21. :laugh:
