I ended up calling out of work because I had an upset tummy. It feels better now, for the most part. I did my exercise as I was starting to feel a bit better. I am not expecting a loss, and most likely a gain tomorrow as I have been doing more strength training, and I've been adding more carbs in... we'll see!1 -
To help keep in line with pre-planning, keeping under calories and sticking with the plan, I am trying to prep the night before. I have dinner in the fridge to thaw, lunch already prepared (tuna salad) and veggies cut.
That is a wonderful idea @brandi_84, I have been trying to do mostly the same... having dinner thawing is where I screw up the most! I love tuna salad!0 -
That is an awesome loss! @primekayprime
@brandi_84 thank you! I haven't changed my routine over the last two weeks so I don't know why I registered gains before and now a loss.
My body seems to hang on to the weight for a week or two and then there's a whoosh of loss as though it's finally releasing those previous weeks.
It didn't do this the first time I lost weight. I guess this is my new normal.2 -
This weigh in for week 3 so you can update it, but my concern is how did my weight increase and the last week was the first week that I went to the gym for five days??, I was losing weight when I was going to the gym for just two days??? Anyway,I will keep going to the gym for the five days and never give up let’s see what will happen next week!cmhubbard92 wrote: »mhassan160 wrote: »Weigh in this morning Monday January 20

Oh man. Work has gotten crazy busy, resulting in working late into the evening and weekends. So exercise is pretty much out for the most part the next few weeks. I did meet with my PT tonight and that was pretty awesome. I am SO going to hurt tomorrow!
Anyway, here’s the catch-up: Logged food every day and stayed in my budget.

Just remember that when you exercise more, it means your muscles work more. Your body then retains more water as part of the "healing" process of the muscles1 -

@mhassan160 there are so many reasons why we gain weight on the scale when everything we do points to "you will lose this week". In your case, you have over doubled your workouts, which means your body is going to hold onto some of that water to repair muscle! Keep doing what you are doing, your fat loss is still occurring, but it is being "masked" by extra water. Here are a few other reasons why we will not lose week after week-there are so many factors that cause the scale to stay the same or jump up! Don't stress any scale gains if you are doing everything right (staying at a deficit, eating the right amount of your exercise calories backs, drinking water to help aid muscle repair, etc)mhassan160 wrote: »

Carbohydrate intake: The number of carbs you’re consuming will affect scale weight. Remember, 1 gram of carbohydrate comes along with 3g of water. This is why when people go on a low-carb, or ketogenic diet, they see rapid weight loss (not fat loss) initially as the body drops water. Inversely, if you’re ending a period of low-carb or ketogenic dieting, you can expect your weight on the scale to go up.
Water retention: Water retention ‘masks’ fat loss and people falsely assume they’re not losing fat even in a calorie deficit, or worse, they’re gaining body fat – cue the “metabolic damage” news stories.
Sodium balance: If you’re consuming a certain level of sodium per day and then one day you consume more sodium your body will retain water, conversely, if you decrease sodium intake, your body will release water. 1
Menstrual Cycle: Ladies, your monthly cycle will make you retain water. I know, it sucks, but you’re awesome so smile. I wrote about dealing with the problem here. And seeing we’re on the topic, if you’re struggling with cravings during TTOM, read this.
Stress levels: Increased stress = water retention and with water retention comes a spike in scale weight.
Sleep: Poor sleep can also increase stress levels = water retention = weight increase on the scale.
Timing of last meal: If you generally eat your last meal at 8pm, then one day you eat your last meal at 11pm. This will see the scale increase the next day.
The time you weigh-in: If you regularly weigh in at 5am and then one day weigh in at 8am, this will impact scale weight.
Alcohol consumption: Alcohol can dehydrate you, leaving you lighter the next day. However, alcohol can also increase hunger. So if you go out and drink and consume foods high in salt and carbs, this will also impact your weight the next day.3 -

@primekayprime I have the same thing happen. It used to not happen to me, either, but within the last year it has become rather regular(even with a very slow loss) i usually lose right after my TOM(sometimes during), and gain right before. Sometimes also happens during ovulation, too. A drop right after. It is odd, but we're not the only ones!0 -

@thedestar awesome loss! The weekends tend to influence our Weigh-Ins a bit! You still had a loss, so that is great! 1 -

Please don’t be discouraged. @cmhubbard is totally correct. DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) means after strength exercise, you will (hopefully) make tears in your muscles. Your body will then repair these tears, plus a bit extra, giving you more muscle. But while the body is doing the repair work, it will cushion your muscles with a little extra fluid. That is what you are seeing on the scale. Keep it up and your new (sexy) muscles will more then make up for the water retention 😬1 -
