Hi All. I just started this site today after stepping on the scale this morning. I have been on this new healthy eating plan (Not diet) for the last 4 days. I have had my RMR tested and was given a result of 1600. So if I want to loose 25 pounds safely, I need to cut my calories 500 a day. Done! I started at 172 pounds. I have kept my calories at 1200 (writing down everything I eat/drink-even gum) and have done 60 minutes of exercise (Bike/stair step) a day except one day-burning 250-350 calories a day. You could have knocked me over with a feather this morning when I stepped on the scale.........I HAVE GAINED 3 POUNDS!!! What the hell!?! I have been drinking 6-8 bottles of water a day. WHy am I gaining??????? I am so depressed right now........OH and I quit smoking the same day........Please someone give me a good reason for the gain.......I need some support.

Thanks,
MrsB25
 
A whole lot of reasons..I don't think 4 days is a good indicator. some encourage every day..I encourage every week, same time, same situation.

I weight thursday morning after waking and using restroom. It's a constant. It helps take in account water retention, general fluxes..Here is an example.

Yesterday afternoon/evening I was 395, my official weighing was 390.

5 pounds in under a day. It happens. You are doing things the right way..just take a breath..keep going.
 
Thanks Jericho, I haven't been weighing everyday. I just felt I should step on the scale this morning so when I did, man was that a shock! I like the idea of once a week-same time each time planned weigh in. I will start that.
Thanks for the fast response!!!!:seeya:
 
I'm at work and bored, you will see me respond to things while I'm here.

You really do sound like you are on the right path.
