why have i gained this week??

[appleshake]

for most weeks i have been losing 1-3lbs. this week i have gained 2lbs!!!
now last week i exercised more than ever!!!
the only thing i can think of is that on sat evening i had some gin and diet ginger than whisky and diet ginger than whisky and soda water. i stupidley got carried away first time i had touched alcohol this year.
felt wretched yesterday morning and ended up having a slice of toast. then got straight back on to atkins.
i thought gin would be ok wasn't sure about the whisky.
so i guess what i'm asking is the alcohol to blame for the weight gain?
thanks all appleshake xx

toast?
I think it would be the culprit - you are probably retaining water - both because all the alcohol and all the carbs you had. I will balance itself out. Keep on going with the programme

I agree with Liv, its most likely causing you to retain water, and when you consume alcohol you quit losing weight, and burn it instead of fat. Just hop back aboard and that 2 pounds should evaporate quickly.
