    my pic should scream this works. I just gained 10lbs and suddenly dropped 15lbs my doctor says it's swelling from muscle growth. He was a weightlifting champ so I listen to him. I also noticed if I don't drink enough water I gain weight like crazy but the more water you put in the less water your body stores. Good luck and I have been using this program for a one year and 3 months and lost a skinny person. Just hit my birthday goal of 200lbs will be 20lbs less by xmas to meet my next goal. Keep going you will be fine.

    if youare eating correctly and at a deficit YOU DID NOT GAIN A POUND>
    This! Do think you took in an exta 3500 calories over your net calorie goal? Not likely.
    According to my scales I have gained .8 lbs since Monday but have lost 1 lbs total since last friday. I know... you only want it to move in one direction but that is just not logical. :ohwell:

    Hey, some people on here seem to be very negative and there is really no need. It can be disheartening to have put in massive effort and not see results. Even though you did not see results on the scale I bet you feel better having exercised and eaten better. Please dont give up because if you keep going your clothes will fit better and you will feel mentally better too in no time, you can do it , just give your body time.

    I dont see anyone being negative. Expecting your results within a month and wanting to give up after a one week gain the size of a glass of water is being unrealistic. It is also not a massive effort. You want to know what a massive effort is? talk to some of the people on here who started at 300+ and are now half their original size - those people BLOW MY MIND.

    So those that have been at this for a long time and have been reaching success - or have already succeeded - are explaining to him that his expectations need to be changed to see this for the long haul.

    That is NOT being negative - except in the sense that we are returning a negative response to the idea of QUITTING.

    Being negative is what? a refusal to agree with a person? having a bad attitude? lacking positivity?

    We are not the ones lacking positivity. The OP is lacking positivity. We are explaining the need for patience and realistic goals.

    Wait 'til you've heard another hundred people saying they are going to quit after seeing a small short-term gain on the scale.

    Guess what? Weight goes up and down. Even in the same day. Sad, but true.

    One week? One week and you're this jacked up? Sheesh. It took me 6 weeks to get the scale moving in the right direction. Chill.

    Yes, one week is clearly indicative of how well your efforts are working. Please quit now. You'll never get ahead with this kind of attitude.

    Stick with it. Sometimes I'll be up two pounds from the week before. It doesn't actually mean I gained fat. A week is no time at all.

    Well with that attitude how do you expect to accomplish anything? I weigh myself every morning so i don't get bummed on this. 5lbs come and go off our bodies really quick... I for one have gone up 5lbs on the scale one day to drop down 6 the next... water weight and timing is everything. You just never give up and it'll come off. Just persist and your body will get the drift eventually.

    Is this how you run your life, just give up after minimal effort?

    Your life, your choice

    If you arent Rage Quitting, you arent trying hard enough.

    OP, if you want to quit over 16oz, go for it. *double checks this isnt the motivation and support board* Yup, im good.

    Enjoy your journey!!




    Quitter.

    I've lost 75 pounds. Do you really think that I didn't have any weeks where the scale went up? Or WEEKS where it didn't move? Or how about that five pounds I gained over the holidays thanks to my MIL's awesome southern home cooking? It happens. It's called life. Weight loss isn't linear.

    If you want to give up, then give up. You will accomplish nothing but failure by giving up.

    Or......Find something that is sustainable long term and you won't have anything to give up. It will be a lifestyle. :flowerforyou:

    I would agree, however they may not mean it the way we are reading it. It is better to encourage someone to keep going than tell them they are in the wrong for being upset and trying to find some support/help. All those who have posted encouraging words I appreciate it, and those that point out yes our weight can fluctuate by up to 4/5 lbs in one day alone, please ignore the number on a scale.

    I know I'm going to get some blasting back at this post but everyone needs to realize that though you are being straight forward about your thoughts on their attitude it does come across as very negative and harsh on someone who is struggling. They may be new to weight loss in general and not realize that weight changes depending on so many factors, they may be having an already bad day and this just added to it and they needed to get it out there. Or they may just need some new tips of changing up exercise and such.

    You catch more bees with honey than vinegar (though I'm not sure why we would want to catch bees other than to make our own honey and not have to buy it)

    OP - It looks like you've already lost 17 lbs. That's awesome. The last few pounds are the hardest to get ride of. It took my 6 months to shred the remaining 10 lbs, but then I gained it back. It was frustrating, but I'm back at it and I will get down there again. Weight loss takes more and more patience as you become more and more successful with it.

    I'm under my caloric intake for the week, working my butt off exercising, weighing my flipping food, and I gained a pound in the last week. What the frick?!? All this compromise and work for nothing.

    Ready to give up...

    Here's what I kinda focused on.
    Hello all,

    I am a 5'7" medium frame male. I weigh 164 lbs, down from 179.5 lbs. My weight loss goal is 1 lb./week. My recommended MFP calorie intake is 1480, down from 1510 and 1550. So far, so good.

    But I keep going back and forth on what my end goal weight should be; 155? 150? 145? 143?

    All suggestions are appreciated.

    OK, not the part, where you don't know what your goal weight should be.... But, the part where you are 164 lbs, and expect to lose 1 lb per week. I think what you may be missing here is.... it's not easy, and probably not too smart to try to 'force' the last few lbs off your body. I'm down around 10 lbs over my initial goal weight.... and I've been pretty much just been floating around there, for some time now. The 1st thing I did, was reset my profile / goal to lose 0.5 lbs per week. Because, I don't think it's realistic to try to lose a lb a week, when you're that close to your goal weight. It just doesn't feel right to me.

    There's no harm in leaving your goals the way they are in MFP.... but IMHO.... don't expect the weight to keep falling off at the end, like it might have been in the beginning. In other words. Chill out.
