It's probably mostly water. I gained 4 pounds overnight once. I was freaking out, but it was all gone in the next 2 days. Thinking back, I did overdose on salt before the weight came on and I am pretty sure it was all water retention.0

Sometimes I wonder "Are you serious?"
Just making sure I guess.1 -

Ok, thanks. Off to drink and take my son to his gymnastics. Over and out guys!0 -
No need to worry, I have a splurge day once a week. Your body will throw it off. Don't weigh yourself after your spluge day. Pick a day to weigh yourself and keep it to once aweek. I picked Fridays to weigh in. Sunday's are my splurge day!!0

It's probably just sodium overload from yesterday!! DRINK LOTS OF WATER today and just get back on track. It will come back off!! Been there done that0

Seems rather silly to go weighing yourself after eating all of that anyway, no ?
I mean, it's a bit like self torture as it should have been fairly obvious it would show on the scale, from the salt and sugar, if not from the volume of food that would still be in your system. It doesn't just evaporate as soon as you eat it.0 -
Drink LOTS and LOTS of water for the next few days and try to eat clean (no processed foods) and that weight will be gone by Thursday. This happens to me often and this I found works best to rid my body of that crap. Don't stress over it... you will be fine0

I'm going to make the realistic assumption that you didn't really lose 4 pounds. Probably lost some water weight, then rehydrated. 4 pounds in 5 days would require a 2800 calorie deficit per day, and I doubt you went 5 days without eating at all, while burning extra calories exercising.
It's really all just math.0 -
I make it a point NOT to weigh myself after a birthday, holiday, Super Bowl weekend, etc., at least for a few days. Most of it will simply be fluid retention.
The other thing I would suggest is to stop the "all or nothing" way of eating. You said you were "perfect" then lost control. Try to relax a little bit. I know for me, being rigid is a surefire way for me to binge, so I try not to be so "perfect." Just a suggestion.0 -
I'm so discouraged. All that hard work for NOTHING!
Just remember this feeling next time you go for the chips instead of the veggie tray!
totally this!
you havent put on 5lbs of fat, but at the same time, why work so hard just to eat crap and then feel bad?!
i eat crap sometimes but i make sure it fits in my calories, and most importantly, i enjoy it. other wise, just say no!
Because that's life and sometimes people overindulge.
That is life but the difference is how/whether you take control of it.0 -
give yourself a couple of days, i always weigh around 4lb heavier at night than in the morning give your body chance to digest all the food wine ect0
-
Switch to Friday weigh-ins rather then Mondays to save yourself the anguish!
I find that if I'm thinking about a "naughty" then I look at my log and think - OK, if I have that it wipes out the 20 mins walk I sweated at lunchtime - and then decide if I still want it. I also look at calories left for the day.
Sometimes you have to splurge or life isn't worht living, but don't weigh yourself straight after0 -
Ignore him....he has an attitude problem.0

I lost 4lbs last week M-F doing the Jillian Michaels tapes and eating perfect. Then the weekend came and I lost all control. I had wine, pizza, popcorn, and junk at a superbowl party. I weighed myself this morning and I'm UP 5lbs!:noway: :explode: :grumble:
Now I know I didn't eat 17,000 calories so wth is going on!? I'm so discouraged. All that hard work for NOTHING!
HELP PLEASE!
I am up 8 lbs. :sad:0 -
Some water, sodium, the food you still have in "your system.," etc... nothing to worry about.
This. Relax. Stress doesn't help0 -

Agreed just water and salt from the food change in a couple days you will be back down!0 -
Either stop weighing yourself and use the mirror as guidance since you apparently lack the mental fortitude to handle weight fluctuations or just give up.
You're my favorite.0 -
starve, binge is not a lifestyle worth maintaining.0
