I gained four pounds!!

[twlovechild]

Well today marks the 9th day so far on the induction phase of the diet, and I have realized when I checked my weight yesterday I had gained 4 pounds back? I was really confused because I have followed the plan to a T. i know I should have waited to check my weight but I just couldnt help it, and when I did it was a real dissapointer. I even thought about quiting!. i wonder what has happened that Made me gain 4 pounds back???

Are you using Fitday to follow your percentages?

Weight can bobble around all over the place before it settles down. Could be you had a high sodium day....or maybe didn't get in all your water...or TOM is coming....gosh...it could be a lot of things.
It can be disconcerting when you first start Atkins but I tell ya, after two years on the diet, if I go up a pound or two it doesn't faze me, because that's just how the roller coaster of weight loss is.
If it keeps climbing up, that's when you worry, but little ups and downs are normal.

Re: I gained four pounds!!

There is no way you gained an actual 4 pounds in that short amount of time Water is most definately the culprit. You would have had to eat like 14000 calories I highly doubt that LOL. Hey don't worry I can fluctuate as much as 8 pounds in a matter of days But I am still Down 100 Pounds. Weight loss is not a steady downward treadn especially for women with Hormones and such UP down UP down lol. But the treadnd will be that you will be going down even with the UPS. There was one month I actually gained 16 POUNDS from TOM and it was right before my 10K try lugging that around ROFL. I also lost in=t as soon as TOM left. I usually start to gain a Bit about 10 days Before TOM stay the same through then drop after it's all good. You are doing great don't get disheartened and don't quit you'll miss the Whooshie and the great weight loss advantage.

Re: I gained four pounds!!

check your inches and see how much smaller you are
keep working your Atkins and as long as you are only feedingyour hunger you will be losing weight.

Happy low carbing.
