Oh why!!!

Started this mid January 2011, and was doing really well - lost a total of 29lbs.

I have just come back from an all inclusive holiday for 1 week and managed to put on 8lbs YIKES!!!!

Its always the beer, why so many calories????

    I feel your pain...you work your butt off to get rid of every single pound and one bad week and it piles back on. ARGH!!! You've done amazingly, though...just get back on track and you'll be golden in no time!

    CHUG, CHUG, CHUG!!! Water this time... not beer! :drinker:

    A lot of that is probably the sodium at the restaurants. Get back to your healthy eating, and you will be just fine!

    Everything considered, that's not bad. I picked up a few pounds when I went away on vacation (2 I think) but getting right back on the plan and it was gone in less than a week with another pound as well. Get that water flowing and I think you'll see them come off quickly.

    I wish you wouldn't call it a "failure" because you gained a few lbs back. Even the slimmest folks out there sometimes gain weight when they go on vacation too. I prefer to think of it as a temporary setback. Just get back on track and you will lose it. Obviously you were doing something right, just resume it. Just my thoughts. :flowerforyou:

    Don't be discouraged. It is 8 measly pounds. You'll lose that in no time.

    That'll come off quickly when u get back on it. I managed 11lb at a 4 day rock festival. Beer and fast food from festival sites will do that especially when you're already too fat too give it loads to metallica! It came off within a week though

    Relax. Easy come, easy go. This will likely be the quickest 8 lbs you've ever lost. No doubt that a lot of it is water weight. You didn't gain 8 lbs of fat in 1 week. Well, it would be highly unlikely anyway. :smile:

    Most of it's water, retained from high sodium prepared foods that you had during your holiday, no doubt. You'll lose it quick if you get right back to it. I hope you had a FANTASTIC time and I look forward to gaining ONLY 8 lbs when I go for my all inclusive week vacation in May! Thanks for posting! You did really well actually!!

    Wow, so many replies.... Thank you all for your kind words - the rabbit comment made me laugh as I went to Malta who's national dish is rabbit, and there were lots of it.

    The main thing that really got to me was that now and again when I logged in I would get a nice message saying you have logged in for 60 days... now I have to start it all over again.

    Right off to the pub....

    Ok perhaps I will have some rivita with cottage cheese instead.
