      What is your opinion on weight watchers?

      I do not know what this has to do with anything.... I think it is good to watch your weight, and that is why I am worried about my gain.

      I would try moving the scale, especially if it is on a tile surface. I have noticed our scale can be moved one inch and we get different readings. I think it would be impossible to gain 14 lbs. in a week ( 14* 3500 = 49,000 cals.)

      This whole thread guys, this whole thread is just too hilarious I mean seriously some of your deserve applause you made me laugh so hard. Continue being awesome!

      On the topic at hand, if you are in fact being serious about this incident I think the most likely scenario is that the scale showed you a false lower number in the week prior. You said the batteries before you stepped on the scale recently were 'literally days old', so you therefore changed them during the week. They must have been dying on your previous weigh-in and now it's giving you a more honest number. Weigh yourself a few more times to make sure it's settled on a final number and go from there. You may want to try a different scale as well just to be sure. Ultimately don't feel discouraged by this however, because it was only ever a number and your physical health and appearance haven't changed for the worse since last week.

      OH NOOoooooo.


      I think this is the best (and worst!) explanation.

      I never even thought of this... maybe my weight loss was not real. Oh man.... Now I really do want ice cream, but that is not how to get a boyfriend. :(

      I don't want to bager you but I believe you're avoiding the question. You've said that you didn't eat anything but did you DRINK anything? And you continue to avoid describing your clothes to me when you weighed the first and second time. Any sort of accessory could've tipped the balance, as it were.

      I'm also beginning to think this is a troll thread.

      I'm just quoting this because it's beautiful, I think I may get teary.

      OP - sweetie, I think you should really just give up. Your body just wants to be fat, and it's not going to give up until it is. You can't fight it, it's nature. From now on, until you weigh 300 pounds you are going to gain 17 pounds a day. That's just how it is. I'm really sorry.

      The batteries were literally days old.

      :laugh: I laugh because it is not possible. you have a broken scale. How could you gain 14 lbs in a week and 2 more lbs within minutes???? Nobody can eat that much or drink that much..... I would drop by your doc office and ask to use their scale for reference and get a new scale

      I think your body was having an inflammatory response to the food and alcohol you ate. I can have wild weight fluctuations if I drink too alcohol or eat lots of sodium or eat foods that I have an intolerance--ie gluten, dairy, corn, sugar. Inflammation can cause excess water retention. Maybe that's part of your problem?

      This is completely true and kind of annoying that people keep saying it's a troll thread.

      Thank you for suggestions about ovulations, I need to look at my app and find out what part of my cycle I am in.

      ok confirmed....total troll thread...!

      If you want a boyfrined..sit on the couch and eat ding dongs all day...

      you might want to change your scale to metrics...

      Yesterday a drank a whole bottle of wine and ate pizza and other things.... I don't know what that equals.

      I've read that starch in pizza crust has a ridiculous chemical reaction with the tannins in red wine (which is what I assume you're drinking). I'm not sure how this would affect your body, I just stay away from that combination all together.

      I mean this is in the best possible way, but nothing you do or contemplate doing should ever be centred on a desire to get a boyfriend, or a fabricated aversion to ice cream. Ever! This is about you getting healthy, and you've still been doing that this entire time (the numbers may just be a bit skewed).

      I actually heard that if you combine red wine, ice cream, and pizza in a blender and drink it that you will go into starvation mode and then you will convert half of your body fat % to muscle. however, the downside is that every seventh day you gain 16 pounds...which re starts a vicious cycle...

      Whatever your scale says, if you actually gained that much in a week, the clothes that fit a week ago would not fit you today.
      As for a minor variation (2 lbs), that can happen over and over again all day long, every day.

      But only if you do it in a blender? Because I totally did not do it in a blender and so this should not matter.

      Have you tried taking a poop before you weigh in? Sometimes I drop 5lbs from just one poop!!
      It's great.

      Your boyfriend is probably cheating on you and the woman he's cheating with weighs 16 lbs more than you and it saved on your scale when she used it. I would check his text messages.

      Wtf? Seriously?

      Hi I was just wondering if you have a boyfriend yet or not, and if not can I text you sometime?

      Finally got a chance to read this thread. It made my morning.

      1Concretegirl, did you try your scale again? I am curious. And if your readings have been faulty, you must have been tracking other things. Not just the scale. Right? Right? Please say yes.

      Sigh... no I don't, but the urge to eat ice cream because of that reminder has definitely decreased.

      You can text me if your wife doesn't get jealous.

      Um... I don't know what other things I might have been tracking. I have not been able to face the scale yet, so I am gonna try again in a couple of days.

      Oh yes, I have. But I haven't been able to pick up my calipers or tape measure today either. I will try tomorrow if I can deal with it.
