OMG 5 pounds over the weekend!!

rebasporty

I am in the same boat this morning, my fingers are feeling like sausages and my scale was up 4 lbs this morning after indulging in cocktails over the weekend. Ugh! I am drinking a ton of water today, I am back on track and I have exercise class tonight...It WILL be gone by Friday is my goal!!

Thank you for making this post!! I hopped on the scale yesterday morning and it said I had lost 4 lbs. Then I hopped on in the afternoon (after the football game ended and I ate a slice of pizza and some wings) and it said I had only lost 2.2 lbs. I was so upset! I figured my scale was unreliable and I got all nervous. Now I know it was just a combination of water weight and salty foods. Lesson learned: only weigh myself once a week - and not multiple times in one day!

Even following my daily calorie amounts and being mindful of extra sodium my weight can fluctuate 1 - 4 pounds on any given day. I know that too much sodium (>3500g) can start to make my body retain extra water. In fact, I can weigh myself, walk down 2 flights of stairs to my kitchen to let the dog out, walk back upstairs to my bathroom scale and have gained a WHOLE POUND!!

This is not "fat".

Make sure you are giving your body plenty of water, and watch the sodium, you'll be back at your goal weight in a few days

3,500 calories = 1 pound. You would have to eat over your TDEE by 17,500 calories to gain 5 pounds of fat. That's about, oh, 25 *bottles* of wine. Step away from the scale...
