    Or.... your initial loss was mostly water because you eat very low cal/low sodium usually?

    Monday you said you were sick. Did you by chance have a lot of soup that day? Would account for extra sodium intake. Also are you eating back your workout calories? Burning that much calories in a day/week, your body could of slowed down your metabulism.

    had a cheat meal Sunday, no exercise. and not much on Monday because I was sick. A CHEAT MEAL ???????????
    U DONt do cheat meaLS AND EVERY CALORIE HAS TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR

    What?

    I don't even...

    Yes, every calorie has to be accounted for. However, many MANY people have what they call a "cheat" meal on a specific day of the week. As long as their weekly calories are still at a deficit, they will lose weight.

    And 1400 calories... who are you to decide what they should be eating? Do you know their stats? Why is 1400 the "magic" number?

    In addition to the possible sodium water weight thing, check your calendar. We womenfolk tend to have monthly cyclical weight fluctuations.




    Was gonna say the same, check your monthly cycle. I can gain loads on 'those' weeks !

    Okay, so I'm lost. I work my butt off every single day. I usually burn over 1,000 calories a day. This week there was one day I burned only 300. I had a cheat meal Sunday, no exercise. and not much on Monday because I was sick. But besides that, I did perfect! I ate good, worked out, have been doing normal things I've been doing to drop 7 pounds in 2 weeks. I'm 5'3, a female, weigh 135. The scale this morning said I weighed 140. WTF?!?!? So demotivating and have no idea why :( help?!?
    What is your daily calorie goal, and do you meet it? Do you eat back exercise cals, especially burning over 1000 cals a day - and what exercise do you do that burns that much? And how long have you been trying to lose?

    Need more info. :smile:

    in order for you to gain 5lbs in a week (7Days) .. you would have to intake 2500 additional cals over your TDEE for 7 days straight .. if you did .. impressive .. but i doubt you did ... prob, water, sodium, etc ..

    So true. And an impressive feat indeed. Not even one I could pull off on my heaviest eating weeks.

    No, I did not. And no I don't. Should I?
