Ten-Plus Pounds

I have gained more than ten pounds in the last three days.

I am also constipated, but I don't think I could have gained ten pounds from erratic BMs. I am so confused and upset. I feel out of control, but I have NOT been bad. I haven't been. Tonight I said "eff it" and went to eat my sorrows away... but I caught myself and stopped at 1875 calories... only about 125 over goal, so it could have been worse.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Don't give up! Sometimes our bodies do weird things.. just stay on track and it will pass! Sorry to hear about the weight gain.. I wish I could say I don't know how you feel but I do, I have gained a few pounds in the last few days as well. Just hang in there!

You know what? Sometimes when I work out a lot my body holds water. Actually, I gain weight all the time, but it eventually evens out. Don't give up, and don't pay attention to the scale too much. I had to hide mine :)

It is near impossible to gain 10 lbs of fat in three days....that would mean you would have had to eat about 3500 calories a day, and do nothing but sleep for this to be true.

I am sure the constipation has something to do with it all....stay the course...you can do it!
