Is this safe and/or possible?

EllaPaigeNora

I recently weighed 112 pounds and I want to maintain my weight between 110-115. Over thanksgiving I gained two pounds so now I'm at 114. What I want to know is is it safe and/or possible to lose 5 pounds in three weeks before I go back home for christmas break? I know I'm gonna gain some weight again over christmas, so I want to go back home at my lowest weight possible.

Eh, how tall are you? Honestly, your two pounds are likely water and/or you were dehydrated at your 112 weigh in and you're closer to 113. Just eat healthy and don't stuff yourself and you will be fine for the long term. Keep active. Dont worry about the numbers so much.

have those 2 lbs actually made any difference to how you look?

I have a maintenance range of 3-4 pounds and quite frankly i cant tell the difference whether i am at th elower or higher end of that.

Stick to your cals, keep up your exercise and drink plenty of water in the next couple of weeks, and then just enjoy christmas!

For you to gained 2 lbs over thanksgiving, that would mean you eat an extra 7000 calories above maintenance in the last week. Is that what happened? I doubt it. It's likely bloating and water weight.
