in Health and Weight Loss
After months of being inactive, I started stronglifts 5x5. When I started workout b, 3 lbs disappeared over night! I see so many people freaking out over gains, but I lost. What did I do wrong? Did I not hydrate enough? Did I not eat enough? Is this dangerous?

    Sounds like a good excuse to eat a large pizza.

    Clearly, you didn't stop for Chipotle after leaving the gym. Next time, burrito with extra chicken STAT.

    I hate both those things *cry* I don't even like pop tarts! Is battered chicken OK or will that make me lose more?

    I got someone to look into opening one but turns out it's not a franchise and one guy owns the whole thing.

    I travel a fair bit so luckily I have experienced Chipotle in New York. It was delicious. Particularly with the extra guacamole. I remember coming to this site and wondering...wtf is Chipotle and why is everyone eating it? I thought it was a smoked chili? lol. Both are tasty options.

    I dropped 3lbs and ate WAY too much Easter candy to make up for it. It worked so well I'm now a 1lb overweight. Maintenance is crazy, man!

    If you weigh yourself daily, then look for trends, not individual variances. Anything could have cause that. Most likely water, rather than chipotle. :) But I do love a good chipotle.... anything. :D

    Weighing myself the same day, same time, same circumstance every week helps me keep a better perspective on things. I go for for Monday morning, first thing out of bed.

    So totally has happened to me. Woke up one morning after a good workout and was down like two pounds. Then two days later I was down another 1.5 lbs. Was freaking out that I wasn't eating enough and started to look into eating nuts to fill the gap. But then by the time my weekly weigh in took place I was only down 1.5 lbs for the week so well with no. No nuts had to be eaten.

    It's pretty much a DIRE emergency.

    Heat up the oven - throw in some bacon to fry up. Dark chocolate in some form to go with said bacon. Ingest slowy - savor every single bite. If you eat too fast then .. welll .. you don't want to know. Ooops! too late??
