My First Gain :(

if that's the first time.. and you've lost 11lbs. You are doing wonderful at sticking to it. & WTG for the workout!!!!

That's going to happen, what you do is not weigh yourself the next day when you had a bad night and just figure you went off for a little. I have a thing called fake weight and real weight. My fake weight is when it jumps due to my going overboard or whatever but then in a few days I get back to my real weight and that works for me.

I do the same thing. If I know I did bad, I won't weigh myself that day. I'll get back on track and then when I weigh next I'm back to my normal weight. I never do bad right before my official weigh in day anyway so it doesn't matter!

I had a 3 lb jump too, and I am right there with you. Get back into the swing of things and hope that it tricks your metabolism into fast burn mode. I am an optimist, can you tell? Post in another week and let us all know how encouraged you are that it came back off with perseverance. I hope to be able to report the same.
I have decided not to worry unless I see more than 3 lbs change and it lasts longer than four days without responding to change.

I was away for the weekend and gained almost 5 pounds. I was at a wedding/family reunion and was full of stress. I went back to my old eating patterns and ate my stress like crazy. I totally lost control. I am so sad that I gained 4.5 pounds. I guess it's not the end of the world and I'll get it back off but still :ohwell: . I don't have anymore trips coming up so I will be able to get back in control and stay in control. So... I understand exactly how you feel and I'm sorry if you are sad about it. Together we can get through this. It's a struggle but we can do it. Peace and Love, Suzen
