Wish that would have happened to me. I just gave up.0

I have experienced this as well, a number of times. Big meal one evening, guilt, sleep, weigh-in, 2-3 pounds less than the day before.
How is that physically possible?Lyle Mcdonald says a heavy meal (and alcohol) can trigger a whoosh. Who knows? Congrats, tho! http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html/
The whoosh theory is really interesting. But even so, for the body to release all that water, don't you need to, erm, use the toilet a lot? How else does the water get released?
I just don't see how you can stuff yourself with food, not eject anything, and drop weight.

No you didn't! Well, maybe in your past? But you overcame it! You are recomping now, aren't you? This is for another thread, but I'm interested in your approach (eat at maintenance and lift a lot?)0 -

I have stalled this week, had 2 birthday parties back to back last weekend..i ate at maintenence, not a deficit and lost 3.5 lbs from sunday to monday morning. It is still gone...
I have no clue if there is a science to it, but i almost always lose if i have an i don't care meal like once a month. Unfortunately i have a bad habit of thinking. .well..i mean it certainly didn't kill me..maybe i can do it again.
Conversely i went and had bww the other night, ate some nasty naked tenders..was well under my calorie goal and gained a lb.0 -
I hit my goal weight the morning after having a (planned) indulgence dinner of deep fried jalapeno peppers. Weight loss is so weird when you look at it day-to-day!
Congratulations on reaching your goal!0 -

I know exactly what you mean. I guess the key is not to be disheartened when you're under and appear to gain.0 -
