in Health and Weight Loss
hi i had been doing very well, before weight was 16 stone 12 got down to 15 stone 10 in 6 weeks, it was my sons birthday last week so i went out and overate...:( well ive weighted myself this week and ive put on weight ive put on 2 lbs this week, but i am due on my period???

could the weight ive put on this week be cos of my period cos the other weeks where ive had a period weight loss was slow for example id only lose a lb but maybe cos ive overeaten this week ive put on 2 lbs in water?? really hope it is as its discouraging me. and im going on holiday in 2 weeks and i need to lose more, so ive been going gym every single day this week and really watchin what im eating...any advice for me would be appreciated.. xxxx

    It is most likely water retention. Just keep on whatever diet you are following and you should drop it shortly after your period.

    it could definitely be water weight..........don't be discouraged. Last week i also gained 2 lbs - for no reason - I ate as I should, I exercised as i should - even more cuz I did a 5k.......yet, I gained........BUT, this week I lost 2.7......so just keep up the healthy eating and exercising.........that scale will catch up.........

    I always gain 2-5 kilos at TOTM, whilst eating healthy and exercising the exact same. Don't fret!

    It's most probably water retention. 2 lbs x 3500 = 7000 calories over maintenance. Unless you at that much when you went out to eat (very unlikely) I doubt you have much to worry about.

    A lot of times when you eat out, you add a lot of sodium into your body that you normally wouldn't. That combined with weight gain from your TOM probably gave you that added 2 lbs. Not sure what your diet looks like but if you've been losing, it won't be long after your TOM that the weight will just drop right off.

    Don't panic, it's normal for your weight to fluctuate.
    Keep eating healthy meals and exercising and it will be ok!
