This is actually the main reason why I started this thread. I have heard a little about this and would like to know more. How much of a weight change could this cause?

Is it really possible that my metabolism has become damaged? I thought that eat over 1400 cals. a day would prevent that!

Hahaha no, I am quite certain that I am not pregnant

But I also do 4 hard swim workouts a week and hard bike workouts. And my running includes one above race pace interval workout a week

I get my best times at 118. Now I am ~125. I know it seems insignificant, but it really does affect me and I have a lot of high competition races this fall.

I do track my measurements, but I dont really know how to properly analze them. My thighs have had a slight increse, as well as my biceps. Is this likely to be fat or muscle?

I only drink water, sprite zero(yes I know diet sodas are bad, I just cant help it!), and occasionly a gatorade after a long run.

For about a year I've been loosing weight. I lost about 15 pounds. Now, I am suddenly gaining weight even with basically the same excersise and eating plan. So yes, I would save that hurting your metabolism is quite possible and hard to fix.

I have been counting accurately. I know how to keep a food diary and add the numbers. I'm eating the same as I did when I lsot 15 pounds.
