    Sorry to hear about your Dad x
    Think about it this way: You can't get skinny in a few days.... but that's a good thing! Or else it would mean you can get fat in a few days!! I lost a ton of weight last year over a 3 month period. However, my dad died in December and I gained it all back plus some. I'm working to get back down to a healthy weight although I had 4 full months of binging and no working out. We can do this together! 30 days is plenty of time if you eat right and exercise!! You got this!

    I've noticed that the size of my belly gets bigger and smaller throughout the day,no matter how much I eat,so I wouldn't really worry about it.You're probably just bloated.It'll go away after just few days of being careful about what you eat.

    Don't worry. We all have bad days and regret them but the key is to stop it there. Start fresh, feel better, and get back on track! At least you've recognized you went off track and want to stop. And don't worry, your weight will go back down. Each day is an opportunity to get closer to your goal!

    i cant believe i was so stupid, so bloody stupid

    ive spent the last 4 days binging and i mean completely binging. I had previous cut out starchy carbs, fast food etc and done amazing with my weight loss.

    I say take it as a need to re-evaluate your weight loss plan. Why not take the "everything in moderations" approach. Your body won't miss it and you will learn to "Not Overdo It". Do not beat yourself up for minor slip ups, dust yourself off and get back on it. :flowerforyou:

    ive spent the last 4 days binging and i mean completely binging. I had previous cut out starchy carbs, fast food etc and done amazing with my weight loss.

    I took a picture today and my stomach has exploded outwards. Ive only ot 32 days untill my holiday and need to know if it will go back down if i eat sensibly again and exercise. I restarted the 30 day shred again, plus im doing 60mins a night on the stationary bike.

    I am so depressed i just keep crying and crying its horrible.

    You're probably binging because you're over restricting what you like to eat. Part of the reason why I don't encourage my clients to diet is because of binging issues.
    Eat within your calorie limits and don't be afraid of eating things you like to, BUT be aware of calorie count.

    Start thinking of this as a long term commitment and a lifestyle change,... and not a 32 day race to look good while you're on holiday. Make healthy changes to your diet, stick to a sensible calorie goal, log everything, exercise, drink water, forget about past binges or failures. DO NOT eliminate entire foods groups from your diet. It you make your diet too restrictive it becomes unsustainable...resulting in binges.

    We've all been there. Forget about what happened yesterday and focus on going forward. I've had up and down days since my birthday a couple weeks ago. Today I am gonna get back on track. You can do it

    We're all bound to slip now and then. Don't beat yourself up too hard. Pick yourself up and keep going.

    Drink LOTS of water and try to get as little sodium as possible and I promise the 'swell' will go down

    Generally speaking weight that comes on or goes off quickly (i.e. mostly water weight) does the reverse very quickly as well.

    That being said, try to get into a more moderate routine if you're having trouble with what you're doing.

    Mine looked like that last night too! THREE inches larger than usual!

    But most of that is water (from TOM and eating salty chinese food!).

    Already today it looks better!

    It always helps me to remember that it takes 3500 extra calories to add a pound. Did you really go over that many calories? Probably not. So it should come off soon.

    But also be sure to log, log, log to keep yourself honest! Then you can know the truth and stop worrying.

    I made the same mistake myself. My friends have told me today i get new calories, I start fresh and yesterday was well...yesterday. Drink a bunch of water, and if you hit up fast food and cookies like i did yesterday, watch your sodium.

    I feel for you, best of luck!

    Just remember to take a picture of yourself in a couple days and you will see it goes down.

    I am sure you have friends here that would gladly talk to you, if you want to talk.

    I agree with the other girls.. it's probably mostly water weight from high sodium junk foods.

    Drink lots of water, eat healthy, sensible (high fiber would be good).

    Exercise but not to the point that you'll hurt yourself.
