They are in the "fuller for longer" and "balanced for you" meals. These are specially formulated diet meals. Plus fresh veg soup every lunchtime0 -
Oh wait i think I have cancer. I know I will ask on a fitness board for my diagnosis rather than go and see a real doctor.
I am sorry lady but you are being stupid. If you really think you have a tumor then go and see a genuine doctor and get a genuine diagnosis. Because nothing said here is an expert opinion and even if it is an expert opinion. We don't have the equipment or the access to you we would need to diagnose you. Go to your doctor. Rule out serious illness. THEN come here and ask again if it's not that.0 -

Ugh, diet meals..... I hate them, all freshly made, non processed in this house. Good luck and go to the doctor please. But I highly doubt this would be a tumour. I can gain 5 pounds in a day from sodium induced water retention and it is gone again in a day or two0 -
Yup, these are freshly made too0

I must admit I laughed at the thread title.
I'm gaining weight - no it can't possibly be because I'm eating in a surplus... there is no other possible explanation - it must be a tumour.
Maybe we should worry about all the other people who write they are gaining or plateauing and advise they all seek medical advice for tumours too.
No.
It's a surplus. You're eating too much. Either inaccurate logging of food intake, or over estimate of your calorie needs. Or both.0 -

I don't agree0 -
Once you rule out the tumor - then come back and we can provide better help0

She has been repeatedly told that (because it is obviously the most sensible thing to do) but chooses to entirely ignore it and won't give a reason for not going to a doctor. Strange. Takes all sorts I suppose.

I think you have a tumor. The kind that's full of hair and teeth.0
-
There's a lot of salt in there, every day. Maybe try swapping out bought meals for home cooked, at least some of the time? Lunch looks like an easy tweak to make! And make sure you drink a lot of water.
But as everyone is saying, if you are worried, get to a doctor.0 -

go see a doctor although I do think you will be the giggle after surgery hours you know the funniest appointment, this lady thinks she has a tumour based on weight gain!!!! maybe you need to poo? or maybe you ate too much or maybe hormones but your asking the wrong people which is why some of us are sarky and cannot believe this is a serious question0

Maybe you have damaged your metabolism by constant dieting and yo yoing over the years? Its happened to me many times. I have put on weight whilst eating practically nothing ,as my body stored every ounce consumed. If thats the case, you need to reset your metabolic rate which is not easy and takes a long time. Good luck!!0

Looked at your diary, and almost nothing is made by you---therefore you are relying on the label for the calories. I would suggest that you make your own food for a while and weigh and measure everything. Then, what exercising are you doing? There's very little listed and you could be overestimating your burn. I would try to move more. I think you are eating too much and alot of sodium. Try to adjust for a week or two and see. As for your tumor---I hope you don't have one, as I'm sure you do too, so if you want to be assured on that--go see a doctor ASAP. Best. 0

Go to the doctor if you're concerned you have a tumor. If you don't, then tighten up your logging because you're eating more than you think.0
-
I don't think (but I don't know) that a tumor can spontaneously appear in you weighing 6 lbs. Maybe one of the medical field users can tell us.
Your sodium is high. I love sodium, so I'm not criticizing you for it. I would try increasing your water intake and possibly throwing in a drink like Powerade Zero or something.0 -
You are not logging accurately and you're consuming more calories than you think. Throw in excess sodium and hormonal fluctuations (ovulation, time of the month, etc) and there's your answer.
If you're truly concerned about having grown a 6-7 lbs tumor in the span of a couple weeks, you should head to the emergency room. Seriously.0 -
You say I'm not exercising - I see 7 entries for running over that 2 week period. I AGREE WITH YOU ALL NOW THOUGH, I NEED TO ADJUST MY DEFICIT BY EATING LESS AND I WILL THEN WEIGH LESS.snowflake954 wrote: »Looked at your diary, and almost nothing is made by you---therefore you are relying on the label for the calories.

Do you want someone to tell you that it must be a tumor? You don't want to hear that you're over eating... So:
Yes, sounds like a tumor.
Just because I log 1500 calories in my diary does NOT mean I actually only ate 1500 calories- see? Your body counts calories even if you don't. Try lowering your calories by 100 or 200 for a few weeks and see of that helps. Wouldn't that be easier/better than the tumor?0 -

Well then that totally poo poos the accuracy of my fitness pal. If you look at my calories over the 2 week period it would actually be impossible to gain 7lbs, which would be the equivalent of eating 15,000 extra calories in that time. Based on my diary the obvious answer is that it is NOT food intake that has caused the weight gain. YOU, don't seem able to believe that. Ok so a tumour is extreme, but having asked similar questions on here before and being told categorically that one does NOT gain 7lbs of muscle unless one is weight lifting then my question still goes unanswered.0 -

I don't think your question has gone unanswered, but you haven't responded to a lot of the posts. Fluid fluctuations can make a huge difference on the scale. Fluid fluctuations can be caused by sodium, hormones, increasing your exercise. I've gone over maintenance several days this week, last night in particular. I gained three pounds and expected the scale to be higher this morning. I did drink a lot of water yesterday, and to my surprise, the scale had lost all of the extra weight.0 -
OP have you said: how tall, how old, and what your goal weight is?0
-
Get blood work done to rule out negative health issues (thyroid, electrolytes, anomalies). If you get a clean bill of health, then take another look at your logging. Use a scale, track every macro and be diligent in logging. (I saw several skipped days.)
Only then can you make a better determination where you should go on your weight loss quest. 0
