I dont understand :-(

[IrishSarahHB]

So i cut out all the things i talked about yesterday .. Crystal light, diet soda & sf jello .... and ............... i gaind 1/2 a pound ... grrrr i dont get it ..

I feel i just loose the initial water weight on this diet and thats it .. but iv done it before, and it WORKED ... really well ..... so i dont understand why it doesnt work for me anymore?????

Yesterday i ate :

4 scrambled eggs with a little onion for flavor

1 pork chop

1 chicken thigh

1 cup cooked veggies ( broccoli/coliflower)


veggies & eggs cooked in butter
Chicken & porkchop pan fried in olive oil

about 60 oz of water ..


So tell me what i did wrong??????????? I know i forgot to eat my salad yesterday but that shouldnt have made me gain weight???

[*Emma*]

nothing sweetie, chill out.... this is why you dont weigh yourself every day!

us girls have lots of stuff going on in our bodies during our cycle which always messes with our weight, weigh in once a week!

You did hit your 3 cups of veggies didnt you?

Am i reading right that youve lost 8lbs in 8 days?????? WOW!

Don't panic. Like Emma said us girls have wierd fluctuations. I'm up 4.5 still from last thursday. Know that it will pass! Where are you in you tom cycle?

Looks good! Keep at it, you are doing fine.

Maybe up your water intake? I've been told in the past to try and get 1/2 body weight in water in minimum?

How about exercise, did you get any in yesterday? If not, it could be that, just the fluctuation....

Did you eat every couple of hours? Maybe add up the calories also, not sure if it is really all that much.....

Hang in there!

The only thing that strikes me about that is that you may not be eating enough. Even allowing for fairly generous amounts of olive oil and butter and generous portions, that's well under 1000 calories. And you are getting only about 5-6 net carbs at best. Could be your body is going into starvation mode and clinging onto it's fat stores.

Do you know what your BMR is, even roughly? This link will allow you to calculate it:

You could do with getting your water to about 80oz also

Kate - you may be right! I just looked at the menu again also, only 1 cup of veggies and the protein items... may not be enough along with more water intake needed?

Irish - how are these meals mixed together? scram with pork chop? Chicken with veggies? Is that all you ate?

The good news is, you may be able to eat more!

For breakfast i had 4 scrambled eggs

Then for lunch i had a pork chop

and i had the chicken thigh & veggies for dinner ..


Thanks for your help everyone ..

I'll stick with it .... eat my veggies and drink more water .. and i'll see about getting more calories too .. maybe add some bacon in the morning .. a salad with lunch .... maybe some string cheese or pepparoni snacks ... i dont know what else i can do

[*Emma*]

you definitely need something with your lunch, and a coupla snacks too! best of luck Sarah!

Don't be frustrated - think about this: I had a hysterectomy nearly 3 years ago so you'd think I wouldn't have all the fluctuations...but I do...and I don't even know when to expect them! I get really pissed when I gain, too. But then I have to remember, I'm not 100% in control of everything going on in my body.

I'm also a chronic scale-o-holic and I'm highly impatient...the irrational side of brain thinks that since I made up my mind to do something about my weight and I'm taking the steps, the weight should just melt away into oblivion.

Just don't give up and try not to be frustrated. You're doing great!!
