    Hi, welcome! :flowerforyou:
    My weigh in day has always been Tuesdays. I call it "Fat Tuesday"! :laugh:
    I wish us BOTH luck tomorrow morning! I MIGHT NOT lose, seeing as how I'm getting together with an old friend for an all you can eat Chinese buffet lunch! :love: But, I got in lots of exercise, and will do some more after my luncheon, so MAYBE that'll help me come tomorrow morning! :laugh:

    Oh-oh - just did my weigh-in and I'm WAY up. Didnt see that coming. I had a bit of a blow out at the weekend with 1 portion of chips and some alcohol and cheese on toast, but I also did a good bit of exercise. Seriously convinced the scales I use at the pharmacy must have been recalibrated/ moved or something. My waist measurment is down, though the hips are up a little. :frown:

    Flip it anyways - I really thought I was doing well. I even avoided the large birthday cake at work yesterday. I am really annoyed at myself now. Anyone got some inspirational thoughts to get me going again for this week?

    Join the club, I gained a pound myself! :grumble:
    But, with all I ate yesterday at an all you can eat buffet lunch, it's no wonder! I tried to offset it by doing TONS of exercise throughout the day, and also didn't have anything for supper other than a couple of peaches. But, it wasn't enough, I gained anyway! :grumble:
    At least though, with MFP's helpful tools, the message boards, and all the wonderfully supportive members, I CAN get right back on track and hopefully lose that pound next week!
    Sometimes I think about NOT weighing in every Tuesday, but, then I think about how much I COULD gain, so I make myself weigh in. :wink:
    In your case, since you lost inches, maybe you're gain was due to your exercising, since muscle weighs more than fat.
    Good luck to us both this next week! :drinker:

    It's okay. :-) It's really easy to gain weight, and it could even be the fault of exercise! Haha. Well, at least exercise could've helped. Remember: muscle weighs more than fat! So, you might have put on a few pounds from the binging (which we are alllll entitled to), but there might also be some muscle added on in there. :-) Soooo it's not ALL bad.

    Just keep on going at it. Trust me, I've fallen off the wagon SO many times. I'm recently just getting back on it. I had a pretty nice lookin' ticker on here. Haha. So I'm going to make sure I complete it this time.

    So hope you are right about the exercise building muscle. I'm not the type that blames the scales normally - if I honestly believe I should be up then fair enough. I just feel so hard done by this week. I was really trying and honestly believed I was down. I thought my clothes were fitting a bit better and I was feeling good about myself. But 5lbs - yikes! That is A LOT to gain :frown: :sad: surely I would have had to splurge every day and not do excercise all week? Can I please blame the scales now...! :bigsmile:

    Well, I picked myself up by the bootstraps yesterday and stuck to the MFP calories and did 70mins walking while pushing DD (aged 3.5 yrs) in the buggy - phew! (Mind you, thats what I did last week too, apart from Saturday night pints and Sunday oil/salt/ sweet stuff for the hangover :embarassed: ). Well the nuns will be proud of me this weekend - I am now holier than thou and will not touch the evil alcohol even if it :brokenheart:

    Just wondering, as its my first week, could the excesses of the previous weeks still be catching up? Can it take a while to stop the gain and turn it around into a loss?
