OMG 5 pounds over the weekend!!

do you feel bloated or heavy? it could be as simple as water and undigested food from the parties, and will disappear fairly quickly, once your body readjusts to it's normal diet again.

Just remember, deep breaths. You've totally got this.

Not recently, but yes, i've had that sort of thing happen. Depending on what you ate, you might be retaining water, so that might account for some of the weight. Also, scales are funny things. Regardless, when this happens to me, I make a concerted effort to eat really healthy, really clean the following days, and I incorporate hot water with lemon in place of other beverages like juice, tea or coffee.

Tis the season! Good luck!

Jump back to your regular calorie intake--and lots of water and it should come off

hurry up and jump back on board asap! i had a xmas party fri and i drank like there was no tomorrow. it certainly reflected on the scale this am but im right back to doing what i do. oatmeal and banana for breakfast and i will most certainly watch my calories and exercise this week.

I did the same thing over the week end, we went on a trip visit some family and do some shopping, meaning lots of restaurant and wine and beer.. I was up 5lbs this morning on the scale..HAAAAAA! back to the diet this morning, drink lot's of water and back to exercice for me tonight. hopefully those pounds are going to be gone by the end of this week.

Same with me and I was thinking of posting this morning asking why that happens. I've gained six pounds in two days. I know I overate, but there's not way I overate 21,000 calories (6 x 3500) so it has to be water weight, excess sodium, something!

So what you are all saying is the best way to counteract this is to be sure to be strong and stay within your calorie intake for the rest of the week, drink lots of water (more than usual?) and perhaps amp up the exercise. Will that do it? Will that take all those extra pounds off within the rest of the week? Or am I looking at spending the next 2-3 weeks working off just 2 days of bad choices?

I hate the scales this morning!! I had reached my New Years goal on Friday of 165. Then today I'm at 170... 5 pounds in three days!!! UGGHHHHH... We had three parties and it was so hard to resist...and the Wine OH the Wine!!! Please tell me these pounds will leave as quick as it came. Anybody else have this happen?

It will vanish, I jumped 4lbs by Sunday. Due I think to loads of beer with cheese sandwiches on Friday This morning it has gone, all of it.

The sudden jump did pull me up short though and i am now being a good boy until Christmas

Don't worry! I weighed in at 128 on Friday, and a weekend at a cabin with beer and goodies galore I weighed in at 132 this morning. After my workout, I weighed back at 130.8. Get back into your routine, add an extra 5-10 minutes to your workout, and it will come right back off! You didn't gain 5 pounds of fat. These things happen. I've been at this for over 5 years and it ALWAYS come right back off!

DRINK WATER!!! like never before. and get back on track, you will be fine in a couple of days

It's called fluctuating. Your weight does it.
